Fact tracing seeks to identify specific training examples that serve as the
knowledge source for a given query. Existing approaches to fact tracing rely on
assessing the similarity between each training sample and the query along a
certain dimension, such as lexical similarity, gradient, or embedding space.
However, these methods fall short of effectively distinguishing between samples
that are merely relevant and those that actually provide supportive evidence
for the information sought by the query. This limitation often results in
suboptimal effectiveness. Moreover, these approaches necessitate the
examination of the similarity of individual training points for each query,
imposing significant computational demands and creating a substantial barrier
for practical applications. This paper introduces FASTTRACK, a novel approach
that harnesses the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) to validate
supportive evidence for queries and at the same time clusters the training
database towards a reduced extent for LLMs to trace facts. Our experiments show
that FASTTRACK substantially outperforms existing methods in both accuracy and
efficiency, achieving more than 100\% improvement in F1 score over the
state-of-the-art methods while being X33 faster than \texttt{TracIn}.

FASTTRACK 是一种利用大型语言模型（LLMs）验证查询的支持证据并对训练数据库进行聚类以追踪事实的新方法，实验证明 FASTTRACK 在准确性和效率方面明显优于现有方法。
