arXiv:2606. 18867v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When algorithmic predictors inform resource allocation in high-stakes domains such as healthcare, these predictors must account for strategic manipulation of input features.
arXiv:2510. 12249v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In performative learning, the data distribution reacts to the deployed model - for example, because strategic users adapt their features to game it - which creates a more complex dynamic than in classical supervised learning.
arXiv:2608. 15124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In contextual optimization, the decision-maker seeks optimal decisions to minimize a cost function, that varies based on observed features.
arXiv:2502. 05684v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: How can we effectively remove or ``unlearn'' undesirable information, such as specific features or the influence of individual data points, from a learning outcome while minimizing utility loss and ensuring rigorous guarantees?
arXiv:2606. 02671v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine learning predictors have become essential tools for guiding automated decision making.
arXiv:2606. 01198v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Strategic classification studies settings in which agents respond to a deployed classifier by modifying observable features at a cost.
arXiv:2607. 21773v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we propose and study a robust variant of the smart predict-then-optimize approach that accounts for prediction shifts due to disturbance in the covariate feature space.
arXiv:2607. 09165v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Achieving early and timely diagnosis and treatment for disease is a major challenge.
arXiv:2607. 24145v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Feature selection aims to identify the most informative and relevant features for a given dataset, either in terms of capturing the underlying data structure and distribution better, or with respect to the performance on a downstream task.
arXiv:2606. 30136v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humans facing algorithmic decision systems have been found to ``game'' them by altering their input data (at a cost to them) in order to favorably change the algorithmic outcomes they receive (at a cost to the algorithm).
arXiv:2606. 28204v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Algorithmic developments in Strategic Classification have been mostly limited to linear classifiers in settings where the best response has a closed-form solution or can be easily approximated.
Neural networks increasingly combine data across populations, time periods, and operating conditions to improve generalization. This raises a reliability question: whether a model refitted on pooled data preserves an action ordering supported by both sources.
Predictive models are increasingly embedded in operational decision-making, yet standard explanation methods typically explain forecasts rather than the decisions those forecasts induce. This distinction is important in predict-then-optimize systems: large forecast changes may leave the optimizer's action unchanged, while small changes can alter the selected decision and its realized value.
