Off-Policy Evaluation and Learning for Survival Outcomes under Censoring

1. 1Understand the concept of Off-Policy Evaluation (OPE) and its application in survival outcomes
2. 2Recognize the challenge of right-censored survival outcomes in OPE
3. 3Develop or apply estimators that can handle censored data, such as inverse probability weighting or doubly robust estimators
4. 4Evaluate the performance of these estimators in simulated or real-world scenarios

Data scientists and ML researchers on a team benefit from this research as it provides a framework for evaluating policies using logged data, which can inform decision-making in areas like healthcare and customer retention

💡 OPE can be applied to survival outcomes under censoring using specialized estimators, enabling more accurate policy evaluation in high-stakes applications
