CS 328: Foundations of Causal Machine Learning

Course Description

Theoretical foundations of modern techniques at the intersection of causal inference and machine learning. Topics may include: semi-parametric inference and semi-parametric efficiency, modern statistical learning theory, Neyman orthogonality and double/debiased machine learning, theoretical foundations of high-dimensional linear regression, theoretical foundations of non-linear regression models, such as random forests and neural networks, adaptive non-parametric estimation of conditional moment models, estimation and inference on heterogeneous treatment effects, causal inference and reinforcement learning, off-policy evaluation, adaptive experimentation and inference.
