Evaluation of Machine Unlearning effectiveness on the CIFAR-100 dataset using a Random Forgetting methodology. Key metrics include Retention Accuracy (RA), Forgetting Accuracy (FA), Test Accuracy (TA), Accuracy Delta, and MIA Effectiveness (MIA-Eff.).

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 | Random Forgetting Unlearning |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | CIFAR-100 |
| Metric | Retention Accuracy |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 11 of 11 |
| 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

- [Retention Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/random-forgetting-unlearning-on-cifar-100.md?metric=Retention%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Forgetting Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/random-forgetting-unlearning-on-cifar-100.md?metric=Forgetting%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Test Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/random-forgetting-unlearning-on-cifar-100.md?metric=Test%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Accuracy Delta](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/random-forgetting-unlearning-on-cifar-100.md?metric=Accuracy%20Delta>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [MIA Effectiveness](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/random-forgetting-unlearning-on-cifar-100.md?metric=MIA%20Effectiveness>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
