🧠Researchers propose a novel off-policy evaluation method that addresses strategic behavior by agents who modify their characteristics in response to policies. By leveraging post-hoc explanations to reveal pre-strategic information, the approach mitigates covariate shifts and enables more accurate policy assessment in one-shot settings with incomplete knowledge of agent responses.
