@ChenshuoSun @hu_xiyang @MarkHu33309492 in that sense I do agree that constructing features and setting up the ML problem properly is very important! And often what takes the most time.

[Katherine Hoffmann Pham @khof312]

@ChenshuoSun @MarkHu33309492 @hu_xiyang Agreed that creativity is important! But I think one of the most important applied skills is mapping the problem you want to address to the data you have. This requires domain expertise and listening to the client, + the technical skill to develop the right solution.

[Katherine Hoffmann Pham @khof312]

@nomadj1s Think it depends on what you're trying to do (lit seems to have grown a lot in different directions), but I've found helpful summaries + links to recent papers here: https://t.co/r3HVlzHs6X and here: https://t.co/knlZQGReQ5 https://t.co/GSvPVlf0hD

@robseamans @abhishekn I would also be interested, if anyone has a spare invite!

[Katherine Hoffmann Pham @khof312]

Some helpful advice on writing about robustness checks. Seems like a formula to make them both more readable and interesting👏

[Ariel Ortiz-Bobea @ArielOrtizBobea]

Writing tip about robustness checks.

1/ first express the specific concern the reader may have about your findings, then 2/ present an idea that motivates an approach of addressing it, & only then 3/ describe what your check actually is & what you find.

I spent months reading about machine learning for causal inference, trying to understand the difference between causal and descriptive or predictive models. TL;DR:

Great news from #EPC2020! My work with @khof312, @chiccorampazzo, and @SilvestriFr has been accepted. I will present a poster on how we can leverage @MobikeIT 🚲 data to study mobility in Padova. #datascience
