The Data Exchange with Ben Lorica

This week’s guests are Amit Sharma (Principal Researcher) and Emre Kiciman (Senior Principal Researcher) of Microsoft Research. We talk about practical applications of causal inference, a set of tools and techniques that enable data teams to draw causal conclusions based on data.  Amit and Emre are part of the team behind DoWhy, a new open source library for estimating causal effects based on historical data alone, particularly useful when we cannot run an experiment because of time, expense, or ethical concerns.Download the FREE Report: Trends in Data, Machine Learning, and AI → https://gradientflow.com/2022trendsreport?utm_source=DEpodcastSubscribe: Apple • Android • Spotify • Stitcher • Google • AntennaPod • RSS.Detailed show notes can be found on The Data Exchange web site.
