Rethinking Causal Ranking: A Balanced Perspective on Uplift Model Evaluation

ICML 2025poster

Uplift modeling is crucial for identifying individuals likely to respond to a treatment in applications like marketing and customer retention, but evaluating these models is challenging due to the inaccessibility of counterfactual outcomes in real-world settings. In this paper, we identify a fundame…

Backdoor Adjustment via Group Adaptation for Debiased Coupon Recommendations

AAAI 2024technical

Accurate prediction of coupon usage is crucial for promoting user consumption through targeted coupon recommendations. However, in real-world coupon recommendations, the coupon allocation process is not solely determined by the model trained with the history interaction data but is also interfered w…

Difference-in-Differences Meets Tree-based Methods: Heterogeneous Treatment Effects Estimation with Unmeasured Confounding

ICML 2023poster

This study considers the estimation of conditional causal effects in the presence of unmeasured confounding for a balanced panel with treatment imposed at the last time point. To address this, we combine Difference-in-differences (DiD) and tree-based methods and propose a new identification assumpti…

FAST: a Fused and Accurate Shrinkage Tree for Heterogeneous Treatment Effects Estimation

NeurIPS 2023poster

This paper proposes a novel strategy for estimating the heterogeneous treatment effect called the Fused and Accurate Shrinkage Tree ($\mathrm{FAST}$). Our approach utilizes both trial and observational data to improve the accuracy and robustness of the estimator. Inspired by the concept of shrinkag…

Debiased Causal Tree: Heterogeneous Treatment Effects Estimation with Unmeasured Confounding

NeurIPS 2022accept

Unmeasured confounding poses a significant threat to the validity of causal inference. Despite that various ad hoc methods are developed to remove confounding effects, they are subject to certain fairly strong assumptions. In this work, we consider the estimation of conditional causal effects in the…
