# 📖 unlearn_dataset
The unlearn_dataset serves as a benchmark for evaluating unlearning methodologies in pre-trained large language models across diverse domains, including arXiv, GitHub. 

## 🔍 Loading the datasets

To load the dataset:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("llmunlearn/unlearn_dataset", name="arxiv", split="forget")
```
* Available configuration names and corresponding splits:
  - `arxiv`: `forget, approximate, retain`
  - `github`: `forget, approximate, retain`
  - `general`: `evaluation, retain`
