A new benchmark called UpliftBench has been introduced to evaluate uplift modeling, a technique used for personalized targeting. The benchmark reveals that disagreements in performance rankings of uplift estimators are largely due to differing metrics rather than the models themselves. UpliftBench employs a multi-objective protocol across various datasets and highlights that metrics like Qini and AUUC show varying degrees of alignment with actual effect accuracy, with some metrics being structurally insufficient for certain policy decisions.
