Evaluation of Machine Unlearning performance on the Tiny-ImageNet dataset, specifically configured to forget 10% of the training data via random selection. Metrics include UA, RA, TA, MIA, Avg. Gap, and RTE.

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) | Tiny-ImageNet (10% random data forgetting) |
| Metric | Unlearning Accuracy (UA) |
| 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

- [Unlearning Accuracy (UA)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-tiny-imagenet-10-percent-random-forgetting.md?metric=Unlearning%20Accuracy%20(UA)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Retraining Accuracy (RA)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-tiny-imagenet-10-percent-random-forgetting.md?metric=Retraining%20Accuracy%20(RA)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Target Accuracy (TA)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-tiny-imagenet-10-percent-random-forgetting.md?metric=Target%20Accuracy%20(TA)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Membership Inference Attack Success Rate (MIA)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-tiny-imagenet-10-percent-random-forgetting.md?metric=Membership%20Inference%20Attack%20Success%20Rate%20(MIA)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Average Performance Gap](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-tiny-imagenet-10-percent-random-forgetting.md?metric=Average%20Performance%20Gap>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Retraining Time Error (RTE)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-tiny-imagenet-10-percent-random-forgetting.md?metric=Retraining%20Time%20Error%20(RTE)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Computation Cost (PFLOPs)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-unlearning-on-tiny-imagenet-10-percent-random-forgetting.md?metric=Computation%20Cost%20(PFLOPs)>): Lower is better; unit: SIZE.
