arXiv:2607.01171v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sample-based generative models are increasingly used for probabilistic forecasting in high-stakes decision settings, yet their training objectives are blind to the decision maker's cost structure. These models are commonly trained with strictly proper scoring rules, such as the energy score, which allocate their training signal in proportion to data density, with no awareness of where forecast errors are most costly for downstream decisions. We therefore propose decision-aware training for sample-based generative models, augmenting the energy sco
The increasing use of sample-based generative models in high-stakes decision settings highlights the limitations of current training objectives that ignore downstream cost structures.
This research suggests a more efficient and impactful way to train AI models for probabilistic forecasting, leading to more reliable and economically optimal decisions in critical applications.
AI models will move from purely data-density-driven training to objectives that explicitly consider the cost of forecast errors in real-world decision-making.
