Proposes an error-guided extension of Bellman calibration for semi-offline value estimation, correcting a given value predictor's bias using a small on-policy sample alongside a large off-policy dataset.

Problem

Value estimation when a small on-policy sample supplements a large off-policy dataset, as in recommender systems and pre-deployment A/B testing; the goal is to use limited on-policy data to correct systematic bias in a given value predictor.

Approach

Builds on Bellman calibration (a post-hoc, model-agnostic correction along the predicted value) and makes the correction error-guided; the abstract is truncated, so the exact mechanism is not stated.

Experimental setup

Builds on: Bellman calibration
