COAR: Scalable Predictive Component Attribution Method
By
–
In summary, COAR is a scalable method for estimating predictive component attributions that outperform prior approaches across models & tasks. COAR's attributions act as a counterfactual estimator, helping w/targeted model edits — from fixing errors to boosting subpopulation

COAR: Surgical Edits to Fix ML Model Errors
By
–
The approach, called COAR, allows us to make surgical "edits" to ML models. By intervening on the right components, we can fix errors, "forget" harmful labels, or boost performance on subpopulations that are underrepresented in data.

COAR: Component Attribution for Targeted Model Edits
By
–
COAR works by estimating the contribution of each component to the model’s final output. These component attributions act as a counterfactual estimator, enabling targeted model edits w/o additional training.
