A common issue in learning decision-making policies in data-rich settings is spurious correlations in the offline dataset, which can be caused by hidden confounders. Instrumental variable (IV) regression, which utilises a key unconfounded variable known as the instrument, is a standard technique for learning causal relationships between confounded action, outcome, and context variables. Most recent IV regression algorithms use a two-stage approach, where a deep neural network (DNN) estimator learnt in the first stage is directly plugged into the second stage, in which another DNN is used to estimate the causal effect. Naively plugging the estimator can cause heavy bias in the second stage, especially when regularisation bias is present in the first stage estimator. We propose DML-IV, a non-linear IV regression method that reduces the bias in two-stage IV regressions and effectively learns high-performing policies. We derive a novel learning objective to reduce bias and design the DML-IV algorithm following the double/debiased machine learning (DML) framework. The learnt DML-IV estimator has strong convergence rate and O(N−1/2) suboptimality guarantees that match those when the dataset is unconfounded. DML-IV outperforms state-of-the-art IV regression methods on IV regression benchmarks and learns high-performing policies in the presence of instruments. Copyright 2024 by the author(s)

Learners with a limited budget can use supervised data subset selection and active learning techniques to select a smaller training set and reduce the cost of acquiring data and training machine learning (ML) models. However, the resulting high model performance, measured by a data utility function, may not be preserved when some data owners, enabled by the GDPR's right to erasure, request their data to be deleted from the ML model. This raises an important question for learners who are temporarily unable or unwilling to acquire data again: During the initial data acquisition of a training set of size k, can we proactively maximize the data utility after future unknown deletions? We propose that the learner anticipates/estimates the probability that (i) each data owner in the feasible set will independently delete its data or (ii) a number of deletions occur out of k, and justify our proposal with concrete real-world use cases. Then, instead of directly maximizing the data utility function, the learner can maximize the expected or risk-averse post-deletion utility based on the anticipated probabilities. We further propose how to construct these deletion-anticipative data selection (DADS) maximization objectives to preserve monotone submodularity and near-optimality of greedy solutions, how to optimize the objectives and empirically evaluate DADS' performance on real-world datasets.

Noisy qubit devices limit the fidelity of programs executed on near-term or Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) systems. The fidelity of NISQ applications can be improved by using various optimizations during program compilation (or transpilation). These optimizations or passes are designed to minimize circuit depth (or program duration), steer more computations on devices with lowest error rates, and reduce the communication overheads involved in performing two-qubit operations between non-adjacent qubits. Additionally, standalone optimizations have been proposed to reduce the impact of crosstalk, measurement, idling, and correlated errors. However, our experiments using real IBM quantum hardware show that using all optimizations simultaneously often leads to sub-optimal performance and the highest improvement in application fidelity is obtained when only a subset of passes are used. Unfortunately, identifying the optimal pass combination is non-trivial as it depends on the application and device specific properties. In this paper, we propose COMPASS, an automated software framework for optimal Compiler Pass Selection for quantum programs. COMPASS uses dummy circuits that resemble a given program but is composed of only Clifford gates and thus, can be efficiently simulated classically to obtain its correct output. The optimal pass set for the dummy circuit is identified by evaluating the efficacy of different pass combinations and this set is then used to compile the given program. Our experiments using real IBMQ machines show that COMPASS improves the application fidelity by 4.3x on average and by upto 248.8x compared to the baseline. However, the complexity of this search scales exponential in the number of compiler steps. To overcome this drawback, we propose Efficient COMPASS (E-COMPASS) that leverages a divide-and-conquer approach to split the passes into sub-groups and exhaustively searching within each sub-group. Our evaluations show that E-COMPASS impro
