New methods offer efficient data valuation for LLMs and VLMs

Two new research papers propose novel methods for data valuation in large language models (LLMs). The first, "For-Value," introduces an efficient forward-only framework that estimates data value using a single forward pass, avoiding computationally expensive backpropagation. The second paper, "Utility-Aware Data Pricing," presents a dynamic, utility-based pricing model that quantifies data's contribution at the token level, incorporating empirical training gains and cryptographic verifiability for a transparent data market.

    Utility-Aware Data Pricing: Token-Level Quality and Empirical Training Gain for LLMs

    arXiv:2604.22893v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional data valuation methods based on `"row-count $\times$ quality coefficient'' paradigms fail to capture the nuanced, nonlinear contributions that data makes to Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities. This paper presents a …
