The concept of probabilistic values, such as Beta Shapley values and weighted Banzhaf values, has gained recent attention in applications like feature attribution and data valuation. However, exact computation of these values is often exponentially expensive, necessitating approximation techniques. Prior research has shown that the choice of probabilistic values significantly impacts downstream performance, with no universally superior option. Consequently, one may have to approximate multiple candidates and select the best-performing one. Although there have been many efforts to develop efficient estimators, none are intended to approximate all probabilistic values both simultaneously and efficiently. In this work, we embark on the first exploration of achieving this goal. Adhering to the principle of maximum sample reuse, we propose a one-sample-fits-all framework parameterized by a sampling vector to approximate intermediate terms that can be converted to any probabilistic value without amplifying scalars. Leveraging the concept of $ (\epsilon, \delta) $-approximation, we theoretically identify a key formula that effectively determines the convergence rate of our framework. By optimizing the sampling vector using this formula, we obtain i) a one-for-all estimator that achieves the currently best time complexity for all probabilistic values on average, and ii) a faster generic estimator with the sampling vector optimally tuned for each probabilistic value. Particularly, our one-for-all estimator achieves the fastest convergence rate on Beta Shapley values, including the well-known Shapley value, both theoretically and empirically. Finally, we establish a connection between probabilistic values and the least square regression used in (regularized) datamodels, showing that our one-for-all estimator can solve a family of datamodels simultaneously.

本研究针对概率值（如Beta Shapley值和加权Banzhaf值）的计算复杂性高的问题，提出了一种全新的“单样本适应所有”的框架，利用最大样本重用原则，实现对多个概率值的同时高效近似。研究发现，该方法在处理Beta Shapley值时，无论在理论还是实证上都显示出最优的收敛速度，具有广泛的应用潜力。
