首个支持多归因机制的转化率预测基准,助力模型性能提升

MAC: A Conversion Rate Prediction Benchmark Featuring Labels Under Multiple Attribution Mechanisms

  • 构建多归因标签数据集MAC,支持多种归因方式下的学习
  • MAL在长转化路径用户上表现更优,且目标越复杂增益越大
  • 提出MoAE模型,兼顾多归因知识学习与主任务利用

多归因学习(MAL)通过融合多种归因机制生成的转化标签,成为提升转化率(CVR)预测性能的有前景范式。然而,现有公开CVR数据集仅含单一归因机制的标签,限制了MAL方法的发展。为此,我们构建了首个公开的多归因基准(MAC),包含多种归因机制的标签。同时,开发开源库PyMAL,涵盖多种基线方法以促进可复现研究。在MAC上的实验揭示三个关键发现:(1) MAL在不同归因设置下均带来一致性能提升,尤其对长转化路径用户;(2) 性能提升随目标复杂度增加而增长,但预测首点击转化时,盲目添加辅助目标反而有害,凸显辅助目标选择的重要性;(3) 两大设计原则至关重要:一是充分学习多归因知识,二是有效利用该知识服务主任务。基于此,提出异构专家混合模型(MoAE),融合多归因知识学习与主任务导向的知识利用。在MAC上的实验表明,MoAE显著优于现有最先进MAL方法。我们相信,该基准与洞察将推动MAL领域未来发展。MAC与PyMAL开源项目见https://github.com/alimama-tech/PyMAL。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multi-attribution learning (MAL), which enhances model performance by learning from conversion labels yielded by multiple attribution mechanisms, has emerged as a promising learning paradigm for conversion rate (CVR) prediction. However, the conversion labels in public CVR datasets are generated by a single attribution mechanism, hindering the development of MAL approaches. To address this data gap, we establish the Multi-Attribution Benchmark (MAC), the first public CVR dataset featuring labels from multiple attribution mechanisms. Besides, to promote reproducible research on MAL, we develop PyMAL, an open-source library covering a wide array of baseline methods. We conduct comprehensive experimental analyses on MAC and reveal three key insights: (1) MAL brings consistent performance gains across different attribution settings, especially for users featuring long conversion paths. (2) The performance growth scales up with objective complexity in most settings; however, when predicting first-click conversion targets, simply adding auxiliary objectives is counterproductive, underscoring the necessity of careful selection of auxiliary objectives. (3) Two architectural design principles are paramount: first, to fully learn the multi-attribution knowledge, and second, to fully leverage this knowledge to serve the main task. Motivated by these findings, we propose Mixture of Asymmetric Experts (MoAE), an effective MAL approach incorporating multi-attribution knowledge learning and main task-centric knowledge utilization. Experiments on MAC show that MoAE substantially surpasses the existing state-of-the-art MAL method. We believe that our benchmark and insights will foster future research in the MAL field. Our MAC benchmark and the PyMAL algorithm library are publicly available at https://github.com/alimama-tech/PyMAL.
