CATT benchmark shows attribution methods fail to trace model answers to training data

Researchers released CATT, a benchmark probing a counterintuitive failure: even when we know exactly which documents taught a model a fact, existing attribution methods often can't find them. CATT investigates why attribution fails and uncovers two simple fixes that improve tracing model answers back to their training data — relevant work for model transparency and data provenance research.
