An unlearned model from the RAQUEL TOFU experiments: Hyukkyu/Qwen3-8B-Base-RAQUEL-TOFU-M-orig-LoRA-v1
(M_orig) after LoRA unlearning of the TOFU forget set with SAUL, released at its
early-stopped checkpoint. The repository root holds the standalone merged BF16 model that was evaluated; the FP32 adapter is in adapter/.
- Method: SAUL: sharpness-aware forget/retain updates with a forget-loss constraint (Lagrange multiplier).
- Data: every forget and every retain question of the RAQUEL2 source QA (3600 pairs per epoch; the smaller side is cycled so both sets are fully used).
- Schedule: 5 epochs, 565 optimizer steps; a checkpoint was scored every 4 steps.
- Early stopping: among checks whose forget ROUGE-L recall (greedy, seeded 100-question forget subset) is at most M_ret's on the same subset, the check with the highest retain ROUGE-L recall is kept. RAQUEL questions were never used for selection. Released checkpoint: step 124 of 565 (forget ROUGE-L 0.004 <= target 0.390; retain ROUGE-L 0.998).
SAUL adaptation. SAUL's sharpness perturbations, its separate forget/retain optimizers and its forget-loss constraint act on the LoRA adapter weights rather than on the full model (parameter_space: lora_adapters); treat it as a LoRA adaptation of the published algorithm.

Semantic accuracy judged by Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B (vLLM 0.28.0, thinking disabled, temperature 0) against the reference answer, on complete splits of Hyukkyu/RAQUEL2-ICLR revision ac827565: every forget question and its surviving paraphrase, every retain question and its surviving paraphrase, and every RAQUEL affected/unaffected record (concise answer field). Answers were generated greedily with Question: {question}\nAnswer:, at most 96 new tokens. Per-split counts and evidence hashes are in evaluation.json. M_orig and M_ret rows are the reference baselines on the same splits.

The root merged weights are the evaluated artifact. The FP32 LoRA adapter is in adapter/
(PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, repo_id, subfolder="adapter")); its config names the public base
repository and the pinned revision it was trained on. Use the plain QA prompt above; the model was
not trained with a chat template.
