Title: Machine Learning for Causal Inference

Abstract: This talk will provide an overview of the problem of causal inference and current approaches to address it. We will discuss the applications of machine learning and deep learning to this problem space, with examples from economics and the social sciences. We will also touch upon the challenges involved in validating solutions and some tests that can be performed to build confidence in causal results.
