Inspiration Exchange - what's next for individualized treatment effects?



Published
Recording of the van der Schaar Lab's twelfth Inspiration Exchange session, which took place virtually on November 3, 2021, and was attended by students and professionals from the AI and machine learning community.

This session revisited the crucial topic of individualized treatment effect (ITE) inference, with a particular focus on looking to the future and introducing and discussing some brand-new approaches.

The first half of the session featured short presentations given by Ph.D. students Alicia Curth and Zhaozhi Qian. The latter half of the session featured a Q&A, in which Mihaela, Alicia, and Zhaozhi answered questions from audience members about their research and individualized treatment effects in general.
