Neural Machine Unranking
We tackle the problem of machine unlearning within neural information retrieval, termed Neural Machine UnRanking (NuMuR) for short. Many of the mainstream task- or model-agnostic approaches for machine unlearning were designed for classification tasks. First, we demonstrate that these methods perform poorly on NuMuR tasks due to the unique challenges posed by neural information retrieval. Then, we develop a methodology for NuMuR named Contrastive and Consistent Loss (CoCoL), which effectively balances the objectives of data forgetting and model performance retention. Experimental results demonstrate that CoCoL facilitates more effective and controllable data removal than existing techniques.
