Title: Efficient Estimation of Kernel Surrogate Models for Task Attribution

Abstract:
arXiv:2602.03783v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern AI agents such as large language models are trained on diverse tasks -- translation, code generation, mathematical reasoning, and text prediction -- simultaneously. A key question is how to quantify the influence of each individual training task on performance on a target task, a problem we refer to as task attribution. The direct approach, leave-one-out retraining, measures the effect of removing each task, but is computationally
