Research talk: Causal ML and business
Using machine learning for causal inference can, in a subset of cases with rich data, replicate results from A/B experimentation. For other cases, like identifying the “average treatment effect for compliers” ML offers more limited scope. There is room to progress methodologically on this front. In the best-case scenario, where we get the tools to estimate average treatment effects for compliers, there is a straightforward path to get a scalable inference service off the ground, similar to experimental platforms. In this session, Microsoft economics researcher Jacob LaRiviere will discuss some experiences with causal ML in business scenarios.
