From Reweighting to Rewriting: Unlocking the Intervention Effects of Influential Samples in Training Data Attribution

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 2, 2026 · UTC

Training data attribution (TDA) aims to identify training examples that shape model behavior, but its intervention value depends on both which examples are selected and how they are modified. Influence functions (IF) estimate behavioral changes under infinitesimal reweighting, yet IF-selected examples often show limited advantages over random selection under conventional weight-based interventions. This raises the question of whether influential examples lack intervention value or whether reweighting fails to realize their behavioral leverage.We introduce influence-guided response rewriting, w
