Good morning! I’m writing from my condominium the place exterior it’s a toasty 31 levels Fahrenheit desirous about how pretty Boston is, and New England extra typically. And I wished to carry to your consideration a beautiful workshop that begins Monday (November tenth) subsequent week after which continues to Tuesday (November eleventh).
Brigham Frandsen at BYU has taught for us on Mixtape Periods for a number of years a sequence on machine studying and causal inference. One in every of them is a workshop on heterogenous therapy results, causal forests, synthetic intelligence and associated subjects. Yow will discover an outline of under.
The schedule is straightforward — it’s a two-day workshop, from 6-9pm EST, Monday and Tuesday. Here’s a screenshot to be able to see extra about it and him, extra typically.
I believe that it is a excellent funding in a single’s human capital. As datasets turn into bigger and bigger — each extra observations and extra variables, structured and unstructured — extra alternatives abound for understanding therapy results. However as Spiderman stated, with nice [datasets] comes nice duty. And it is a workshop that I believe might help us transfer in that path.
Heterogeneous therapy results imply that the causal impact of some occasion can differ — perhaps even wildly — by the person traits of the person. But when there was a strategy to group these folks collectively primarily based on observable traits, then companies, governments and businesses may be capable of tailor-make packages and choices, goal these folks with differing alternatives, and thus enhance issues alongside many margins. Yow will discover a few of Athey and Wager’s seminal work on this right here.
Brigham has had an excellent fame for educating this materials to a broad viewers. You may learn a few of his testimonials right here. And it’s also possible to discover the outdated repo for the workshop right here.
As all the time, at Mixtape Periods, we try to shut world gaps on data about innovative strategies in causal inference and machine studying. And we do this each by providing these workshops, in addition to by pricing alongside the demand curve. The value of those workshops are $595, except you meet two broad teams wherein you get steep reductions. They’re:
-
$95: college students, predocs, postdocs, residents of center revenue nations, unemployed people, lecturers, school on excessive educating hundreds.
-
$1: residents of low revenue nations.
And for those who really feel such as you need to attain about bulk amount reductions in your group, don’t hesitate to achieve out. Me and Kyle need to make this work and can work with you to make this work. See all of you subsequent Monday!
