Directional Influence Function: Estimating Training Data Influence in Constrained Learning

As constrained learning becomes increasingly common, models are trained under explicit feasibility requirements to enforce fairness, safety, robustness, regulariza- tion, and physics or logic constraints. Understanding how training samples in- fluence the model solution (e.g., learned parameters) is crucial for interpretability and robustness. The classical influence function (IF) estimates sample contribu- tions via local sensitivity analysis, measuring how the solution changes when a specific
