# CASCADE: Cascaded Sequences of Conversion and Delayed Refund
[Paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2601.19965) | [GitHub](https://github.com/alimama-tech/NetCVR)
CASCADE is the first large-scale open dataset derived from the Taobao app for online continuous Net Conversion Rate (NetCVR) prediction. NetCVR is defined as the probability that a clicked item is purchased and not refunded, which captures true user satisfaction and business value more effectively than traditional conversion rates.
## Dataset Description
The dataset captures multi-stage user behaviors including click, add-to-cart, payment, and refund. It is designed to model the complex cascaded delayed feedback process: the delay from click to conversion and the delay from conversion to refund.
### Data Structure
As detailed in the official repository, the data includes:
- User/item/Related Features
- Timestamps for each conversion stage: `click_time`, `pay_time`, and `refund_time`.
## Usage
After downloading the dataset, you can process it using the scripts provided in the official GitHub repository:
```bash
# to process data
python process_CASCADE_with_MappingDict.py
```
