Contribution grade

AI interpretability, model editing and data attribution · Human-designed research method or resource

Reference score140,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Fits example-specific surrogate functions to outcomes of models retrained on sampled training subsets, supporting prediction-counterfactual analysis, data relationships and leakage inspection.

Scientific scope

Fits example-specific surrogate functions to outcomes of models retrained on sampled training subsets, supporting prediction-counterfactual analysis, data relationships and leakage inspection. Models the distribution induced by a fixed learning algorithm, not one checkpoint’s complete explanation. Linear/L1 surrogates and subset distributions are choices, with substantial retraining cost; empirical correlations do not certify all out-of-distribution subsets. First three authors explicitly equal.

Evidence
