## Unlearning Algorithm

This model uses the `SimNPO` unlearning algorithm with the following optimization objective:
$$\ell_{SimNPO}(\mathbf{\theta}) = \mathbb{E}_{(x, y) \in \mathcal{D}_f}\left[-\frac{2}{\beta}\log\sigma\left(-\frac{\beta}{|y|}\log\pi_{\mathbf{\theta}}(y|x) - \gamma\right)\right] + \lambda \mathbb{E}_{(x, y) \in \mathcal{D}_r}[-\log\pi_{\mathbf{\theta}} (y|x)]$$
Unlearning hyper-parameters:
- Learning Rate: `1e-5`
- beta: `4.5`
- lambda: `0.125`
- gamma: `0.0`
