## 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: `0.7`
- lambda: `1.0`
- gamma: `0.0`

## Loading the Model

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("OPTML-Group/SimNPO-MUSE-Books-iclm-7b", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map='auto')
```
