Developed a generalized algorithm for selective unlearning in neural networks, enabling efficient removal of any subset of training data. Designed a utility function to quantify and compare the influence of data subsets on neural network parameters. Formulated an orthogonal gradient descent approach to update models on specific data subsets while preserving the rest.
