This research explores practical approaches to machine unlearning - selectively removing sensitive or copyrighted content from large language models without complete retraining.

• Addresses the challenge of memory erasure in large language models
• Introduces improved evaluation methods for verifying successful unlearning
• Proposes solutions for detecting and removing problematic content
• Balances unlearning specific information while preserving overall model performance

Why it matters: As LLMs become more prevalent in business applications, organizations need cost-effective methods to address security vulnerabilities and legal risks from memorized sensitive data without sacrificing model capabilities.
