Image Feature Fusion-based Federated Client Unlearning (FCU)

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.26715v1 Announce Type: new Major data protection regulations all mention the "right to be forgotten," and that's what pushed federated unlearning (FU) techniques forward. But one stubborn issue remains: catastrophic forgetting--you erase the target knowledge, yet somehow you also end up throwing out essential retained knowledge, which then hurts the model's global generalization. To get a better balance between unlearning effectiveness and generalization ability, we propose something called Image Feature Fusion-based Federated Client Unlearning.
