The Shapley value (SV) has emerged as a promising method for data valuation. However, computing or estimating the SV is often computationally expensive. To overcome this challenge, Jia et al. (2019) propose an advanced SV estimation algorithm called “Group Testing-based SV estimator” which achieves favorable asymptotic sample complexity. In this technical note, we present several improvements in the analysis and design choices of this SV estimator. Moreover, we point out that the Group Testing-based SV estimator does not fully reuse the collected samples. Our analysis and insights contribute to a better understanding of the challenges in developing efficient SV estimation algorithms for data valuation.
