Panel: Challenges and opportunities of causality
What is causal machine learning? Is it the same as causality research? What are the recent advances and future opportunities? This panel is a unique session where you can hear world-leading researchers’ thoughts on causal machine learning in economics, computer science, statistics, and healthcare. Microsoft Chief Scientific Officer Eric Horvitz will discuss the advances and impact of causal machine learning with four esteemed professors in causal machine learning with different backgrounds. You will hear their thought on why we need causal machine learning now, how causal machine learning can make a real-world impact, and the future of causal machine learning.
