2D-OOB: Attributing Data Contribution through Joint Valuation Framework
<|reference_start|>2D-OOB: Attributing Data Contribution through Joint Valuation Framework: Data valuation has emerged as a powerful framework to quantify the contribution of each datum to the training of a particular machine learning model. However, it is crucial to recognize that the quality of various cells within a single data point can vary greatly in practice. For example, even in the case of an abnormal data point, not all cells are necessarily noisy. The single scalar valuation assigned by existing methods blurs the distinction between noisy and clean cells of a data point, thereby compromising the interpretability of the valuation. In this paper, we propose 2D-OOB, an out-of-bag estimation framework for jointly determining helpful (or detrimental) samples, as well as the particular cells that drive them. Our comprehensive experiments demonstrate that 2D-OOB achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple use cases, while being exponentially faster. 2D-OOB excels in detecting and rectifying fine-grained outliers at the cell level, as well as localizing backdoor triggers in data poisoning attacks.<|reference_end|>
