arXiv:2610.14190v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Explaining a vision--language model (VLM) prediction requires tracing training-example influence to the multimodal evidence that mediates it, yet existing attribution methods largely operate only at the sample level. Recent latent-mediated influence methods provide feature-level attribution in language models, but lack the multimodal and spatial structure needed to ground influence in VLMs. We introduce MOSAIC (Multimodal Orthogonalized Sparse Aut
