New dual representation for influence functions improves efficiency

Researchers have developed a new dual representation for influence functions, which can efficiently estimate changes in model parameters and outputs. This method scales with dataset size rather than model size, offering an advantage for large models where traditional influence function evaluation is infeasible. However, the approach is currently limited to linearizable models and requires substantial matrix materialization. AI
