摘要	The machine learning-augmented matching estimator combines classical nearest-neighbor or propensity-score matching with ML algorithms — such as lasso, random forests, or gradient boosting — to select covariates, estimate propensity scores, and correct for residual bias. The result is a matching-based causal estimator that remains valid under high-dimensional confounding where traditional hand-specified matching fails.	Machine learning-augmented doubly robust (ML-DR) estimation combines the classical doubly robust (AIPW) identification strategy with flexible machine learning models for the nuisance functions — the propensity score and the outcome regression. The result is a causal estimator that is consistent if either ML component is correctly specified, and that achieves valid, root-n inference even when the nuisance models are estimated with high-dimensional regularisation or nonparametric learners.
