Bayesian Influence Functions for Hessian-Free Data Attribution

ICLR 2026poster

Classical influence functions face significant challenges when applied to deep neural networks, primarily due to non-invertible Hessians and high-dimensional parameter spaces. We propose the local Bayesian influence function (BIF), an extension of classical influence functions that replaces Hessian…

Differentiation and Specialization of Attention Heads via the Refined Local Learning Coefficient

ICLR 2025spotlight

We introduce refined variants of the Local Learning Coefficient (LLC), a measure of model complexity grounded in singular learning theory, to study the development of internal structure in transformer language models during training. By applying these refined LLCs (rLLCs) to individual components of…

The Local Learning Coefficient: A Singularity-Aware Complexity Measure

AISTATS 2025poster

The Local Learning Coefficient (LLC) is introduced as a novel complexity measure for deep neural networks (DNNs). Recognizing the limitations of traditional complexity measures, the LLC leverages Singular Learning Theory (SLT), which has long recognized the significance of singularities in the loss…
