摘要翻译：
在许多领域，从业者寻求使用观察数据来学习满足应用程序特定约束的治疗分配政策，如预算、公平性、简单性或其他功能形式约束。例如，策略可能被限制为基于一组有限的易于观察的个人特征的决策树形式。在半参数有效估计理论的推动下，我们提出了一种新的方法来解决这个问题。我们的方法可以用来优化二元处理或无限小的连续处理，并可以利用观察数据，在使用各种策略确定因果效应的情况下，包括对观察项和工具变量的选择。给出了分配每个人接受治疗的因果效应的双重稳健估计量，我们开发了一个选择治疗者的算法，并为由此产生的政策的渐近功利后悔建立了强有力的保证。

英文摘要：
In many areas, practitioners seek to use observational data to learn a treatment assignment policy that satisfies application-specific constraints, such as budget, fairness, simplicity, or other functional form constraints. For example, policies may be restricted to take the form of decision trees based on a limited set of easily observable individual characteristics. We propose a new approach to this problem motivated by the theory of semiparametrically efficient estimation. Our method can be used to optimize either binary treatments or infinitesimal nudges to continuous treatments, and can leverage observational data where causal effects are identified using a variety of strategies, including selection on observables and instrumental variables. Given a doubly robust estimator of the causal effect of assigning everyone to treatment, we develop an algorithm for choosing whom to treat, and establish strong guarantees for the asymptotic utilitarian regret of the resulting policy.
