सारांश	Machine learning-augmented entropy balancing (ML-EB) combines Hainmueller's entropy balancing reweighting scheme with a machine-learning outcome model to produce a doubly-robust causal estimator. By jointly optimising covariate balance weights and a flexible predicted-outcome adjustment, ML-EB delivers consistent treatment-effect estimates even when either the weighting or the outcome model is misspecified, and it handles high-dimensional covariate spaces that classical entropy balancing cannot easily balance.	Entropy balancing is a preprocessing method for causal inference that assigns weights to control-group units so that the reweighted control sample matches the treatment group exactly on a chosen set of covariate moments (means, variances, skewness). Introduced by Hainmueller (2012), it replaces trial-and-error propensity-score trimming with a constrained maximum-entropy optimisation that achieves balance in a single step.
