ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Estimating heterogeneous treatment effects (HTEs) in time-varying settings is particularly challenging, as the probability of observing certain treatment sequences decreases exponentially with longer prediction horizons. Thus, the observed data contain little support for many plausible treatment sequences, which creates severe overlap problems. Existing meta-learners for the time-varying setting typically assume adequate treatment overlap, and thus suffer from exploding estimation variance when the overlap is low. To address this problem, we introduce a novel overlap-weighted orthogonal WO meta-learner for estimating HTEs that targets regions in the observed data with high probability of receiving the interventional treatment sequences.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Diffusion models have recently demonstrated significant robustness in medical image segmentation, effectively accommodating variations across different imaging styles. However, their applications remain limited due to: (i) current successes being primarily confined to 2D segmentation tasks—we observe that diffusion models tend to collapse at the early stage when applied to 3D medical tasks; and (ii) the inherently isolated iteration along timesteps during training and inference. To tackle these limitations, we propose a novel framework named Cross-Timestep, which incorporates two key innovations: an Adaptive Priori Decoding Strategy (APDS) and a trans-temporal memory LSTM (tLSTM) mechanism. (i) The APDS provides prior guidance during the diffusion process by employing a Priori Decoder(PD) that focuses solely on the conditional branch, successfully stabilizing the reverse diffusion process.
