Eric Joel Tchetgen Tchetgen - "Causal Inference, Semiparametric Statistics and Machine Learning"

Описание: 9 May 2023: "An (un)Holy Union: Causal Inference, Semiparametric Statistics and Machine Learning in the Age of Data Science"

Abstract: In this talk, Dr. Tchetgen Tchetgen discusses recent advances at the nexus of Causal Inference, Semiparametric Statistics and Machine Learning in the gilded age of modern data science, with emphasis given to sound and responsible decision-making in Public Health and Medicine. He argues with several recent developments, that important scientific progress can be made more likely by fruitful interaction between these three disciplines than without; however, such success will require constant vigilance to ensure that key foundational principles underpinning each discipline are preserved and respected. For illustration, he considers the potential utility and limitations of several recent advances emblematizing this (un)holy union, including conformal predictive causal inference, Double-debiased machine learning, Credence and the so-called Deconfounder.
