Unlearnable Examples

Code for ICLR2021 Spotlight Paper "Unlearnable Examples: Making Personal Data Unexploitable " by Hanxun Huang, Xingjun Ma, Sarah Monazam Erfani, James Bailey, Yisen Wang.

Quick Start

Use the QuickStart.ipynb notebook for a quick start.

In the notebook, you can find the minimal implementation for generating sample-wise unlearnable examples on CIFAR-10. Please remove mlconfig from models/__init__.py if you are only using the notebook and copy-paste the model to the notebook.

Experiments in the paper.

Check scripts folder for *.sh for each corresponding experiments.
