• Abstract: The aim of this study is to demostrate that mobile phone usage data can be used to make predictions and find the best classification method for credit scoring even if the dataset is small (2,503 customers). We use different classification algorithms to split customers into paying and non-paying ones using mobile data, and then compare the predicted results with actual results. There are several related works publicly accessible in which mobile data has been used for credit scoring, but they are all based on a large dataset. Small companies are unable to use datasets as large as those used by these related papers, therefore these studies are of little use for them. In this paper we try to argue that there is value in mobile phone usage data for credit scoring even if the dataset is small. We found that with a dataset that consists of mobile data based only on 2,503 customers, we can predict credit risk. The best classification method gave us the result 0.62 AUC (area under the curve).

  Existing data valuation methods define a value for a discrete dataset. In many use cases, users are interested in not only the value of the dataset, but that of the distribution from which the dataset was sampled. We propose a maximum mean discrepancy (MMD)-based valuation method which enables theoretically principled and actionable policies.

  We introduce a new perspective by investigating scaling behavior for the value of individual data points. We provide learning theory to support our scaling law, and we observe empirically that it holds across diverse model classes. Our work represents a first step towards understanding and utilizing scaling properties for the value of individual data points.

  This paper proposes methods to improve the intent discovery pipeline deployed in a large e-commerce platform. We show the benefit of pre-training language models on in-domain data: both self-supervised and with weak supervision. We also devise the best method to utilize the conversational structure (i.e., question and answer) of real-life datasets during fine-tuning for clustering tasks, which we call Conv.

• Data-OOB: Out-of-bag Estimate as a Simple and Efficient Data Value [17.340091573913316]
  We propose Data-OOB, a new data valuation method for a bagging model that utilizes the out-of-bag estimate. Data-OOB takes less than 2.25 hours on a single CPU processor when there are $106$ samples to evaluate and the input dimension is 100. We demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art data valuation methods in identifying mislabeled data and finding a set of helpful (or harmful) data points.
