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.

Orthogonal time frequency space(OTFS)technique, which modulates data symbols in the delayDoppler(DD) domain, presents a potential solution for supporting reliable information transmission in highmobility vehicular networks. In this paper, we study the issues of DD channel estimation for OTFS in the presence of fractional Doppler. We first propose a channel estimation algorithm with both low complexity and high accuracy based on the unitary approximate message passing(UAMP), which exploits the structured sparsity of the effective DD domain channel using hidden Markov model(HMM). The empirical state evolution(SE) analysis is then leveraged to predict the performance of our proposed algorithm. To refine the hyperparameters in the proposed algorithm,we derive the update criterion for the hyperparameters through the expectation-maximization(EM) algorithm. Finally, Our simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm can achieve a significant gain over various baseline schemes.
