An Orthogonal Learner for Individualized Outcomes in Markov Decision Processes

ICLR 2026poster

Predicting individualized potential outcomes in sequential decision-making is central for optimizing therapeutic decisions in personalized medicine (e.g., which dosing sequence to give to a cancer patient). However, predicting potential out- comes over long horizons is notoriously difficult. Existi…

Overlap-Adaptive Regularization for Conditional Average Treatment Effect Estimation

ICLR 2026poster

The conditional average treatment effect (CATE) is widely used in personalized medicine to inform therapeutic decisions. However, state-of-the-art methods for CATE estimation (so-called meta-learners) often perform poorly in the presence of low overlap. In this work, we introduce a new approach to t…

Conformal Prediction for Causal Effects of Continuous Treatments

NeurIPS 2025poster

Uncertainty quantification of causal effects is crucial for safety-critical applications such as personalized medicine. A powerful approach for this is conformal prediction, which has several practical benefits due to model-agnostic finite-sample guarantees. Yet, existing methods for conformal predi…

Constructing Confidence Intervals for Average Treatment Effects from Multiple Datasets

ICLR 2025poster

Constructing confidence intervals (CIs) for the average treatment effect (ATE) from patient records is crucial to assess the effectiveness and safety of drugs. However, patient records typically come from different hospitals, thus raising the question of how multiple observational/experimental datas…

LLM-Driven Treatment Effect Estimation Under Inference Time Text Confounding

NeurIPS 2025poster

Estimating treatment effects is crucial for personalized decision-making in medicine, but this task faces unique challenges in clinical practice. At training time, models for estimating treatment effects are typically trained on well-structured medical datasets that contain detailed patient informat…

Learning Representations of Instruments for Partial Identification of Treatment Effects

ICML 2025poster

Reliable estimation of treatment effects from observational data is important in many disciplines such as medicine. However, estimation is challenging when unconfoundedness as a standard assumption in the causal inference literature is violated. In this work, we leverage arbitrary (potentially high-…

Treatment Effect Estimation for Optimal Decision-Making

NeurIPS 2025poster

Decision-making across various fields, such as medicine, heavily relies on conditional average treatment effects (CATEs). Practitioners commonly make decisions by checking whether the estimated CATE is positive, even though the decision-making performance of modern CATE estimators is poorly understo…

DiffPO: A causal diffusion model for learning distributions of potential outcomes

NeurIPS 2024poster

Predicting potential outcomes of interventions from observational data is crucial for decision-making in medicine, but the task is challenging due to the fundamental problem of causal inference. Existing methods are largely limited to point estimates of potential outcomes with no uncertain quantific…

Meta-Learners for Partially-Identified Treatment Effects Across Multiple Environments

ICML 2024poster

Estimating the conditional average treatment effect (CATE) from observational data is relevant for many applications such as personalized medicine. Here, we focus on the widespread setting where the observational data come from multiple environments, such as different hospitals, physicians, or count…

Reliable Off-Policy Learning for Dosage Combinations

NeurIPS 2023poster

Decision-making in personalized medicine such as cancer therapy or critical care must often make choices for dosage combinations, i.e., multiple continuous treatments. Existing work for this task has modeled the effect of multiple treatments independently, while estimating the joint effect has recei…
