Researchers have developed CEDAR, a novel two-stage framework designed for robust decision-conditioned simulation in demand forecasting. This system aims to overcome the limitations of traditional passive forecasting methods by learning controllable action-conditioned state transitions and correcting event-driven deviations using external signals and LLM-assisted text representations. Tested on a large dataset from Alibaba 1688, CEDAR demonstrated improved simulation accuracy over existing baselines and provided practical benefits for real-world budget planning. AI
