First-Order Efficiency for Probabilistic Value Estimation via A Statistical Viewpoint

ICML 2026 NExT-Game Workshop, 2026

This work studies probabilistic value estimation from a statistical viewpoint. It shows that several existing estimators share a common first-order error structure and uses that insight to design a more efficient surrogate-adjusted estimator.
