Forgetting Data from Pre-trained GANs

Large pre-trained generative models are known to occasionally provide samples that may be undesirable for various reasons. The standard way to mitigate this is to re-train the models differently. In this work, we take a different, more compute-friendly approach and investigate how to post-edit a model after training so that it forgets certain kinds of samples. We provide three different algorithms for GANs that differ on how the samples to be forgotten are described. Extensive evaluations on real-world image datasets show that our algorithms are capable of forgetting data while retaining high generation quality at a fraction of the cost of full re-training.
