Medium GrooveSquid.com (original content) Medium Difficulty Summary
This paper proposes a scalable framework called RapidIn for estimating the influence of each training data on Large Language Model (LLM) generations. The framework, comprising two stages: caching and retrieval, allows for efficient estimation of influence within minutes, achieving a 6,326x speedup compared to previous methods.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
RapidIn is designed to identify which training data led to a specific LLM generation by compressing gradient vectors by over 200,000x, allowing them to be cached on disk or in memory. The framework also supports multi-GPU parallelization for faster caching and retrieval. This makes RapidIn an effective tool for analyzing the impact of different training data on LLM generations.
