MGI: Member vs Generated Inference

arXiv:2606. 23872v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As generative models increasingly produce samples that are indistinguishable from human-created content, it becomes difficult to determine whether a given data point was part of a model's natural training set or was generated by the model itself, especially when models memorize and reproduce training data.

XtrAIn: Training-Guided Occlusion for Feature Attribution

arXiv:2606. 10877v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Occlusion-based attribution methods provide an intuitive way to estimate feature importance by perturbing input features and measuring the resulting change in model output.

Learning from a Biased Sample

arXiv:2209. 01754v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The empirical risk minimization approach to data-driven decision making requires access to training data drawn under the same conditions as those that will be faced when the decision rule is deployed.
