Σύνοψη	Machine learning-augmented propensity score weighting (ML-PSW) replaces logistic regression with flexible ML algorithms — such as gradient boosting, LASSO, or random forests — to estimate the propensity score, then uses inverse probability weights to balance treated and control groups. This reduces model-misspecification bias when the true relationship between covariates and treatment assignment is complex or high-dimensional.	Propensity score weighting is a causal-inference method that reweights observations so that the covariate distributions of treated and untreated units look exchangeable, enabling unbiased estimation of average treatment effects from observational data. Each unit receives a weight that is the inverse of its probability of receiving the treatment it actually received — a strategy formalised by Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983) and given its efficient semiparametric form by Hirano, Imbens and Ridder (2003).
