4/23/25 Seminar: "Efficient estimation of causal effects of HIV prevention and care strategies in clustered data settings"

Come join us for our next talk in our seminar series on April 23rd. Joy Nakato, CTML GSR will present her talk on "Efficient estimation of causal effects of HIV prevention and care strategies in clustered data settings." The talk will take place at 12 PM at Berkeley Way West, 5th Floor, Room 5101 (Caravan Room). Please note the room change this week.

In this mock QE talk, I will present ongoing work focused on developing, evaluating, and applying efficient and robust estimators...

4/16/25 Seminar: "Causal Inference Challenges in Research on the Health Effects of Social Policies: Heterogeneous Effects and Treatment-Confounder Feedback"

Be part of the conversation! On Wednesday, April 16th our CTML Seminar Series welcomes Ellie Matthay, Assistant Professor of Population Health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Ellie will present her talk on “Causal Inference Challenges in Research on the Health Effects of Social Policies: Heterogeneous Effects and Treatment-Confounder Feedback.” The talk will take place at 12:00PM at Berkeley Way West, 5th Floor, Room 5401. Speaker will be presenting remotely.

A growing body of epidemiologic...

4/9/25 Seminar: "Improving the Efficiency of Estimators for Survival in Resampling Designs"

Continuing our CTML Seminar Series is CTML GSR, Kirsten Landsiedel. Her talk, "Improving the Efficiency of Estimators for Survival in Resampling Designs" will take place on April 9th at 12:00PM at Berkeley Way West, 5th Floor, Room 5401. You won't want to miss it!

Survival is a key metric for evaluating current standards of care for individuals living with HIV. In resource-limited settings, high rates of loss to follow-up (LTFU) often result in underestimation of mortality when only observed deaths...

4/2/25 Seminar: "Improving Finite Sample Performance in Auto-Debiased Causal Neural Networks with RieszDragon"

Our CTML Seminar Series continues on April 2nd with an exciting talk led by Nolan Gunter on "Improving Finite Sample Performance in Auto-Debiased Causal Neural Networks with RieszDragon." Don't miss this talk taking place at 12:00PM at Berkeley Way West, 5th Floor, Room 5401.

The Riesz representation theorem allows us to express any target parameter as an inner product of a conditional mean and the Riesz representer, sparking new causal inference work to directly estimate the Riesz...

3/12/25 Seminar: "Surrogate Modeling for Infectious Disease Dynamics Using Machine Learning"

Don't miss the next session of the CTML Seminar Series on March 12th, where Karissa Huang and Philip Lee will discuss "Surrogate Modeling for Infectious Disease Dynamics Using Machine Learning." This talk will take place from 12:00PM-1:00PM at Berkeley Way West, 5th Floor, Room 5401.

Model complexity can often make parameter estimation challenging and inefficient in epidemiological models. In this work we propose a framework for using surrogate models to estimate the likelihood for compartmental models. The surrogate modeling approach reduces the computational costs of analyzing...

3/5/25 Seminar: "The Object Bagplot for Non-Euclidean Spaces: A Visualization and Outlier Detection Tool for Hyperbolic Data"

The CTML Seminar Series continues on March 5th! Join us for an exciting talk on "The Object Bagplot for Non-Euclidean Spaces: A Visualization and Outlier Detection Tool for Hyperbolic Data" led by CTML GSR Andy Kim. This talk will take place from 12:00PM-1:00PM at Berkeley Way West, 5th Floor, Room 5401.

Exploratory data analysis in non-Euclidean spaces is an underdeveloped field, despite their growing importance in modern machine learning applications. In particular, hyperbolic space is a useful...

2/26/25 Seminar: "RieszBoost: Gradient Boosting for Riesz Regression”

Mark your calendars for February 26th! The CTML Seminar Series explores “RieszBoost: Gradient Boosting for Riesz Regression.” This exciting talk will be led by Kaitlyn Lee from 12:00PM-1:00PM at Berkeley Way West, 5th Floor, Room 5401.

Answering causal questions often involves estimating linear functionals of conditional expectations, such as the average treatment effect or the effect of a longitudinal modified treatment policy. By the Riesz representation theorem, these functionals can be expressed as...

2/19/25 Seminar Series: "Improving Efficiency in Transporting Average Treatment Effects"

The next talk in our CTML Seminar Series is coming up on February 19th! Join us for an engaging discussion led by Kara Rudolph, Assoc. Prof. of Epidemiology on "Improving Efficiency in Transporting Average Treatment Effects." This talk will take place at 12:00PM at Berkeley Way West, 5th Floor, Room 5401.

We develop flexible, semiparametric estimators of the average treatment effect (ATE) transported to a new population (``target population'') that...
