Unlearning reduces harmful knowledge retention drastically while preserving general model performance.
Targeted unlearning by using PCA on activations results in effective removal of dangerous representations.
The method shows an 80x drop in accuracy on biohazardous facts while maintaining minimal disruption to overall performance.
Performance disruption is limited to only 0.1% increase in loss on the WikiText dataset with quick processing times.
