Unlearnable data (ULD) is a defense technique to prevent machine learning models from learning meaningful patterns from specific data, protecting data privacy and security.
This survey provides a comprehensive review of ULD, including data generation methods, evaluation metrics, and practical applications.
Different ULD approaches are compared and contrasted in terms of unlearnability, imperceptibility, efficiency, and robustness.
The survey also explores challenges and future research directions to enhance the effectiveness and applicability of ULD in data protection for machine learning.
