Data science @UChiUrbanLabs. Maybe a future left wing for the NY rangers (I'm open to right wing if need be).

Hello friends! U Chicago Crime & Ed lab is looking to hire data scientists. If you want to work on data + public policy, we'd love to hear from you. Find out more at this link https://t.co/ohg1psYojP Plz DM me with questions and forward to anyone who might be interested.

Lots of people get worked up about citation styles but I simply don't care et al.

@arthur_spirling @MorucciMarco Love the paper! Any thoughts on the nature of prediction in ML (is this a cat or a dog) versus social science (will a conflict breakout in this region)? The former is almost perfectly predictable while the latter is an inherent forecast. Does that relate to instrinsic dimension?

@ChristophMolnar Well it's only a random forest if it comes from the ensemble region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling bagged trees.

@rajistics Thanks for making the video and for the kind words about our paper!

[Greg Stoddard @gregstod]

@LarsvanderLaan3 Super interesting work. I'm excited to try it in my applied work. Is there an example/guidance on how to use the package on RCT data with known treatment propensities?

[Greg Stoddard @gregstod]

@StatsbyLopez @Stat_Ron @benbbaldwin @SeanfromSeabeck Really interesting! Where’s the chart from?

@tommangan @Chris_arnade That’s literally the end of the book.

[Greg Stoddard @gregstod]

@peterbergman_ I'll take one please!

@PhDemetri There are a lot but I've found some of these papers to be helpful in thinking about the estimation of HTEs https://t.co/dNuZIJAQDv https://t.co/IcAjgdsNlL and this library https://t.co/uZ0fgy2uwi

@ethayarajh Not clear this is true because of rich-get-richer dynamics. This famous paper (among others) shows that an early positive vote can lead to dramatically more upvotes later on. I'd say P(A>B) > .5 but certainly not 1. https://t.co/jgViBZZmq5

@AmandaCoston @anna_kawakami @HodaHeidari @d19fe8 @Haiyi_Zhu @satml_conf This is a great & thoughtful paper, I really enjoyed reading it. Congrats!

[Greg Stoddard @gregstod]

This research is so important and ambitious. I’m proud to be colleagues with this amazing team.

Here's the story of a city's response to spiking gun deaths. Of READI Chicago—an ambitious effort to build & study a program of jobs & CBT for the men most likely to shoot or be shot. Of HUGE success by some measures (64% fewer shooting & homicide arrests!) & no impact by others.

@dggoldst But did it think fast or think slow?

[Emma Pierson @2plus2make5]

(please retweet) I am taking CS PhD students! If you are interested in ML, data science, health, or inequality, please apply to Cornell :)

We have an island campus in New York City and a fantastic group of students I feel lucky to collaborate with every day. Join us!

@alexpghayes @george_berry Genuinely curious: does over or under sampling actually help for ranking? I have yet to find a case when it did, nor have I found an applied paper that showed it actually helped.
