Evaluation Dataset Structure
Each evaluation dataset (up to 700 samples) has the following structure:
| Index Range | Source | Membership | Label |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-349 | Fine-tuning dataset subset | Member | 1 |
| 350-699 | Raw test split | Non-member | 0 |
Note: Actual sample counts may vary based on availability of samples matching the length criteria.
Length Filtering
All evaluation splits are filtered to match specific token lengths (±10 tokens tolerance). This length-matching prevents the model from using sequence length as a signal for membership inference, following the methodology from the Win-k MIA paper.
Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
# Load all splits
dataset = load_dataset("h0ssn/xsum-unlearning-mia")
# Access training sets
retain_set = dataset["retain_set"]
forget_set = dataset["forget_set"]
# Access evaluation sets by length (use largest available for best results)
# These split names vary by dataset - check available splits
print(dataset.keys())
Use Case
This dataset is designed for:
- Machine Unlearning: Train models to "forget" the forget_set while retaining performance on retain_set
- MIA Evaluation: Measure membership leakage before/after unlearning using the evaluation splits
- Privacy Research: Study the effectiveness of unlearning methods in protecting data privacy
- Length-Controlled MIA: Evaluate MIA attacks without length-based confounding factors
