Abstract
Deep learning models have demonstrated promising results in estimating treatment effects (TEE). However, most of them overlook the variations in treatment outcomes among subgroups with distinct characteristics. This limitation hinders their ability to provide accurate estimations and treatment recommendations for specific subgroups. In this study, we introduce a novel neural network-based framework, named SubgroupTE, which incorporates subgroup identification and treatment effect estimation. SubgroupTE identifies diverse subgroups and simultaneously estimates treatment effects for each subgroup, improving the treatment effect estimation by considering the heterogeneity of treatment responses. Comparative experiments on synthetic data show that SubgroupTE outperforms existing models in treatment effect estimation. Furthermore, experiments on a real-world dataset related to opioid use disorder (OUD) demonstrate the potential of our approach to enhance personalized treatment recommendations for OUD patients.
