Offline Reinforcement Learning for Hemodynamic Management of Sepsis in the ICU: a MIMIC-IV Study with Dual Off-Policy Evaluation

The dosing of intravenous fluids and vasopressors in sepsis is a sequential decision made under uncertainty and guided largely by clinical judgment, which makes it a natural target for reinforcement learning from historical care. Because a learned policy cannot be trialed on patients, its value must be estimated off-policy, and such estimates can be fragile and optimistic.

Unmasking Toxic Mimicry in Medical Offline Reinforcement Learning for ICU Sepsis Management via Counterfactual Clinical Audits

arXiv:2608. 11410v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) offers considerable promise for optimizing ICU treatment decisions, yet standard evaluation metrics Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Fitted Q-Evaluation (FQE) assess only behavioral imitation and cannot detect Toxic Mimicry, a failure mode in which agents replicate harmful patterns such as treatment withdrawal during comfort-care transitions.
