Data valuation, the task of quantifying the contribution of individual data points to model performance, has emerged as a fundamental challenge in machine learning. Game-theoretic approaches, such as the Banzhaf value, offer principled frameworks for fair data valuation; however, they suffer from exponential computational complexity. We address this challenge by developing efficient algorithms specifically tailored for computing Banzhaf values in $k$-nearest neighbor ($k$NN) classifiers. We first establish the theoretical hardness of the problem by proving that it is \#P-hard. Despite this in...

Reddit anecdote about Claude failing a task; no substantive technical content.

Utilizing LLMs for automated taxonomy construction presents a clear opportunity for the comprehensive, yet efficient mapping of potentially complex domains. When contending with high volumes of rapidly growing corpora, however, it becomes unclear how to best leverage such data for optimal taxonomy construction. Taking the case of systematizing AI skills in the workplace, we use two large-scale job postings corpora to investigate key design decisions for the inclusion (or exclusion) of data points for taxonomy construction. We propose TaxonomyBuilder as a blueprint for our systematic study, wi...
