MAC: New Benchmark for Multi-Attribution CVR Prediction

other · 2026-08-10

A new benchmark dataset, MAC (Multi-Attribution Benchmark), has been introduced to advance conversion rate (CVR) prediction by providing labels under multiple attribution mechanisms. Previously, public CVR datasets only offered labels from a single attribution mechanism, limiting the development of multi-attribution learning (MAL) methods. The MAC dataset is the first of its kind, addressing this gap. Alongside the dataset, the authors have developed PyMAL, an open-source library that includes a wide range of baseline methods to promote reproducible research in MAL. Comprehensive experiments on MAC reveal three key insights: (1) MAL consistently improves performance across different attribution settings, especially for users with long conversion paths; (2) performance gains scale with the objective function; and (3) the dataset supports further research. The paper is available on arXiv under the identifier 2603.02184.
