Conceptualizing Treatment Leakage in Text-based Causal Inference (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to control for text-based confounders rely on assumption that there is no treatment leakage . prior literature has assumed that documents only contain information about confounder, but not about treatment assignment. |
| Approach: | They define the treatment leakage problem and propose methods to mitigate it . they remove treatment-related signal from text in a pre-processing step . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can mitigate the problem of treatment leakage by removing the treatment-related signal from the text. |
