Policy learning "without" overlap: Pessimism and generalized empirical Bernstein's inequality [PDF]
arXiv.org, 2022 This paper studies offline policy learning, which aims at utilizing observations collected a priori (from either fixed or adaptively evolving behavior policies) to learn an optimal individualized decision rule that achieves the best overall outcomes for ...

Policy Learning With Observational Data [PDF]
Econometrica, 2021 In many areas, practitioners seek to use observational data to learn a treatment assignment policy that satisfies application‐specific constraints, such as budget, fairness, simplicity, or other functional form constraints. For example, policies may be restricted to take the form of decision trees based on a limited set of easily observable individual ...
