Giving large-scale talks with an interpreter is not that easy. But looking forward to talking at @harvard_law school and discussing with #Chinese #executives how and why their #business #strategy needs to be modified in the era of #MachineLearning & #ArtificialIntelligence

Had a great semester w fantastic students curious a/b the range of possibilities #MachineLearning #Analytics and #AI offer for solving societal problems. Hope they NEVER stop being a student @Harvard @Kennedy_School @harvard_data . And sorry @PomsSociety for missing #POMS2019 t.co/DCACuJeVrc

Congratulations to the three talented MS and PhD students from @Harvard and @MIT who won our #MachineLearning competition this semester: Utsav Sohoni (3rd), Gabriel Walker (2nd), Yu Qian Ang (1st). Fantastic performance! Well-deserved!

@yudapearl @JoshuaSGoodman @oziadias Your seven tools of CI paper provides a very useful summary for students. I also introduced #Bookofwhy so that students that are interested can dig deeper. Both of these are also assigned in my full semester #MachineLearning class. Important for students to be exposed, IMO.

Enjoyed teaching #MachineLearing to #econometric PhD students. Essential for them to know some of the newer techniques. Also, glad I got the chance to discuss @yudapearl views of #CausalInference with them. Thankful to my colleagues @JoshuaSGoodman and @oziadias .

Interested to learn about a generalization of #Bayesian method? See the Second Order Belief Maximum Entropy (#SOBME) method in: t.co/SOPQdJhEOR #orms #MachineLearning #Statistics #BayesianLearning #AI #DecisionMaking

Can’t wait until I submit my first paper to a journal with a fully #AI and #MachineLearning based review system. Human judgement is biased, algorithms are not. Just don’t train them on human-based data (which is automatically biased) and you’ll be fine. Learn from #AlphaGoZero.

Nice piece by @Priyanka_Dayal. But we also need quality transparency and public reporting on outcomes. Can’t ignore quality and focus on prices. t.co/oSm8kTMYMs t.co/jiIsuW05VN via @BostonGlobe

In my #MachineLearning class I asked my students how they’d assess predictive power of different algorithms if they hadn’t taken my course. A student answered “our lives would have been meaningless.” I realized I should teach #counterfactual learning before #predictive learning.

@Farzad_MD @CitizenCohn @statnews One main question is whether letting hospitals close results in an improvement in the overall efficiency and quality in the healthcare sector. Some results in our recent work: t.co/6BXpPIOHLU
-
Nice article by @Navigant @statnews. But the case against preventing closures is not access. Some lawmakers think low quality&efficiency hospitals are being closed, so closures are helpful. Do closures improve the overall quality&efficeincy? Our results: t.co/6BXpPIOHLU t.co/P1cS1jqeyi

How did the age of modern computer begin? In Aug 1944 Goldstine took Johnny Von Neumann to see ENIAC in Philadelphia. Johnny asked some important questions about the logical structural of the machine. He then went on and started the earlier versions of what we know as computer.

The U.S. has experienced a large number of hospital closures. What are the effects on the efficiency and quality of care in the healthcare sector? More boradly, how do they affect the society? Some answers in our paper: t.co/PF4uH64mtO @amitabhchandra2 @HKS_Research

Like any other technology, ML-based facial recognition tools can be used with good or bad intentions. I’m hoping to see more advancements in using them for early detection of cancer and other diseases. Research on aging and cognitive decline can tremendously benefit as well. t.co/iRgozRMy3I
