An Attribution Modeling Task is a modeling task that identifies a set of user actions which contribute to a given outcome, and then assigns of a value to each of them.
- AKA: Multi-Touch Attribution Modeling Task.
- Context:
- It can range from being an Interactive Attribution Modeling Task to being an Account-based Attribution Modeling Task.

- In marketing, attribution, also known as multi-touch attribution, is the identification of a set of user actions ("events" or "touchpoints") that contribute to a desired outcome, and then the assignment of a value to each of these events.[1] [2] Marketing attribution provides a level of understanding of what combination of events in what particular order influence individuals to engage in a desired behavior, typically referred to as a conversion.[1][2]

- ABSTRACT: Firms make significant marketing investments in online, mobile and offline media and channels such as search engines, social media, e-mail, display advertising, print, TV, etc., to draw in customers to their websites, mobile apps, and stores to effect conversions and spur sales. As customers go through a series of touch points across media, channels and devices on their paths to purchase, attributing the appropriate credit for each touch point has emerged as an important problem. By focusing on estimating the incremental value of a touch point and spillover effects across channels, attribution models can provide insights for allocating marketing investments across channels and targeting customers across channels and devices. In this paper, we provide a survey of the state-of-the-art in attribution modeling and analytics. As part of the survey, we also introduce the articles in this special section and position them in our classification framework. Finally, we propose a research agenda to guide future work in the area.

- ABSTRACT: In digital advertising, attribution is the problem of assigning credit to one or more advertisements for driving the user to the desirable actions such as making a purchase. Rather than giving all the credit to the last ad a user sees, multi-touch attribution allows more than one ads to get the credit based on their corresponding contributions. Multi-touch attribution is one of the most important problems in digital advertising, especially when multiple media channels, such as search, display, social, mobile and video are involved.
