Speaker: Prof. Jiuyong Li, University of South Australia

Topic: From supervised machine learning to causal heterogeneity modelling for personalised decision making

Abstract: Causal heterogeneity modelling emerges as an effective approach for personalised decision making and is used in personalised marketing and personalised medicine. In this talk, I differentiate causal heterogeneity modelling from supervised machine learning and show some research and applications we have done in using causal heterogeneity modelling for decision making. I will give some common practice recommendations for using causal heterogeneity modelling methods.
