arXiv:2607. 05620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In many decision-making settings, new interventions are acceptable only if they do not reduce outcomes below some established threshold.

arXiv:2606. 07399v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative models for counterfactual outcomes have great potential to support decision-making under complex interventions, but existing approaches are limited by unstable estimation, poor generalization across environments, and bias from nuisance model misspecification.

The paper introduces counterfactual (CF) marginalisation, a test‑time evaluation method that assesses how robust classification models are to nuisance variables such as age or sex. By using a CF image generator to intervene on these parent variables, the method creates counterfactual versions of each test image and averages predictions over a chosen intervention distribution, yielding intervention‑aware predictions that filter out demographic effects while retaining patient‑specific latent information. These predictions are then used to define metrics for CF risk, calibration, stability, and worst‑case sensitivity, demonstrating the framework’s usefulness for quantitative robustness evaluation.
