不依赖模型的时序数据评分方法,精准衡量样本质量。
TimeLAVA: Learning-Agnostic Valuation for Time Series Data

- 基于小波变换与不平衡最优传输,捕捉时序多尺度特征。
- 无需训练即可计算片段贡献值,对异常值鲁棒性更强。
- 适用于医疗、金融等关键场景的数据清洗与质量评估。
数据估值能量化单个样本的内在质量,支持数据治理、质量控制和鲁棒学习。在医疗、金融、工业监控等关键领域,时序数据的有效估值方法仍严重缺失。现有方法或依赖具体模型,泛化能力差;或仅适用于独立同分布数据,无法捕捉时序依赖、多尺度模式及非平稳动态。本文提出 TimeLAVA,一种学习无关的时序数据估值框架,通过最小化评估数据与参考数据之间的分布差异来量化时间片段的边际贡献。核心是新型选择性小波-沃瑟斯坦差异,结合多尺度小波变换实现时间定位,利用不平衡最优运输提升对分布漂移的鲁棒性。段落价值通过敏感性分析高效计算,无需模型训练,并聚合为点级得分。理论证明了估值与模型无关泛化性的关联,且对异常值敏感度有界。在异常检测、数据剪枝和标签噪声识别任务中,跨多个真实世界数据集的实验表明,TimeLAVA 的评分显著优于现有方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Data valuation quantifies the intrinsic quality of individual samples to enable principled data curation, quality control, and robust learning. For time series in critical domains such as healthcare, finance, and industrial monitoring, effective valuation methods are essential yet fundamentally lacking. Existing approaches are either model-dependent, limiting their generalizability, or designed for i.i.d. data and thus fail to capture temporal dependencies, multi-scale patterns, and non-stationary dynamics inherent to sequential data. We introduce TimeLAVA, a learning-agnostic framework that values temporal segments by their marginal contribution to minimizing distributional discrepancy between evaluated and reference data. At its core is a novel Selective Wavelet-based Wasserstein discrepancy combining multi-scale wavelet transforms for temporal localization with unbalanced optimal transport for robustness to distributional shifts. Segment values are efficiently computed via sensitivity analysis without requiring model training and aggregated into point-wise scores. We provide theoretical guarantees linking valuation to model-agnostic generalization and prove bounded sensitivity to outlier contamination. Extensive experiments across anomaly detection, data pruning, and label noise detection demonstrate that TimeLAVA produces significantly more informative value scores than existing methods on diverse real-world datasets.
