Attribution
A core concept in machine learning interpretability, referring to the decomposition of a model's output across input features in order to quantify each feature's contribution. Common methods include Leave-One-Out, Shapley values, LIME, and Integrated Gradients.

Attribution is the process of determining which advertising touchpoint actually drove a conversion; after traditional browser cookies were restricted by privacy policies, advertisers increasingly rely on platforms' conversion APIs to send server-side purchase data directly back to ad platforms, bypassing cookie loss and browser blocking.
CPA is total ad spend divided by the number of new customers acquired, and a lower value means more cost-effective customer acquisition; attributed CPA differs from true incrementality, because attribution merely credits a conversion to a certain channel, whereas incrementality means the user would not have converted anyway and converted only because they saw the ad.
The main models of attribution technology include last-click attribution, linear attribution, data-driven attribution, and others.
Imposing sanctions on a hacker collective first requires accurate "attribution," i.e., identifying the true entity behind the attack.
