Evaluation of Machine Unlearning performance on the MUSE-Books Harry Potter v1.0 dataset, reporting metrics such as R-Forget, R-Retain, and MMLU utility shift.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Machine Unlearning |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | MUSE-Books Harry Potter v1.0 (Overall) |
| Metric | R-Forget |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 17 of 17 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [R-Forget](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-muse-books-harry-potter-v1-0-overall.md?metric=R-Forget>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [R-Forget (500)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-muse-books-harry-potter-v1-0-overall.md?metric=R-Forget%20(500)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [R-Retain](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-muse-books-harry-potter-v1-0-overall.md?metric=R-Retain>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [MMLU](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-muse-books-harry-potter-v1-0-overall.md?metric=MMLU>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Performance Shift](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-muse-books-harry-potter-v1-0-overall.md?metric=Performance%20Shift>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
