New method accurately attributes data contributions for Adam optimizer

Researchers have developed a new method called Adam-Aware In-Run Data Shapley to accurately attribute data contributions in machine learning models that use the Adam optimizer. Existing methods, which rely on the linear structure of Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), are ineffective with Adam due to its complex dynamics. The proposed technique achieves near-perfect fidelity to ground-truth marginal contributions and maintains approximately 95% of standard training throughput. This new approach significantly outperforms SGD-based baselines in downstream data attribution tasks. AI

IMPACT Improves data attribution accuracy for modern ML training pipelines using Adam optimizer.

    In-Run Data Shapley for Adam Optimizer

    arXiv:2602.00329v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reliable data attribution is essential for mitigating bias and reducing computational waste in modern machine learning, with the Shapley value serving as the theoretical gold standard. While recent "In-Run" methods bypass …
