Workshop: "What If?" Inference and Learning of Hypothetical and Counterfactual Interventions in Complex Systems
Abstract
A theory of contextual interventions has developed and matured to the point where contextual bandits can be routinely deployed to solve appropriate problems. A more general theory of contextual interventions in complex settings appears desirable and is under development leading to developments in two new areas:
1) Sequential decision making around deviations from existing solutions
2) Global exploration strategies for arbitrary contexts.
