SliceLine: Fast, Linear-Algebra-based Slice Finding for ML Model Debugging

Summary: SliceLine uses monotonicity-based pruning and linear-algebra enumeration to accelerate top-K slice finding for ML model debugging. It enables exact enumeration over large, overlapping feature slices with parallelization on ML stacks, surpassing single-node memory limits. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
