P-Shapley: Shapley Values on Probabilistic Classifiers

Summary: Introduces P-Shapley, a Shapley-value formulation for classification that uses model-predicted probabilities (with convex calibration functions) as utility instead of binary accuracy. Theoretically and empirically yields more stable, more discriminative data valuations. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
