摘要	Machine learning-augmented inverse probability weighting replaces parametric logistic regression with flexible ML algorithms to estimate treatment propensity scores, then reweights the sample to balance treated and control units. By leveraging data-adaptive learners such as lasso, random forests, or gradient boosting, ML-IPW controls for high-dimensional and nonlinear confounders that classical IPW misses, while retaining the intuitive weighting framework.	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).
