The authors define FiMODA, a way to estimate how sensitive a final model is to training examples when its training procedure is unavailable. Starting from the supplied model, they compare continued training with and without an example, averaging stochastic runs, and evaluate gradient-based approximations against this reference. First-order methods align best early; agreement declines with further training and is lower on CIFAR-10 and SST-2.
