Incredibly honored to join the 2024 #CarnegieFellows!
The fellowship will support my research on how people update their views and attitudes in response to the conversations they take part in and the information they engage with online.

How can we promote discernment in online information sharing? A new large-scale experiment with social media users from Kenya and Nigeria, designed by @mofferw, @LeahRosenzweig, and @Susan_Athey, tests interventions to curb misinformation.

Awesome syllabus; one of my greatest regrets of grad school is not taking a qualitative methods class.

Incorporating insights from the machine learning/causal inference literature into adaptive experimentation improves performance. Our new paper in #AIStats2023:

Contextual bandits adaptively learn a treatment assignment policy that maps individual characteristics into assigned actions, balancing exploration/exploitation tradeoffs. This forthcoming #AIStats2023 paper adapts ML/CI insights to this problem 1/6

The overlap assumption is standard in causal inference. Is it necessary for *policy learning*?
Turns out that overlap for the *optimal* policy is sufficient for efficient policy learning, for batched/adaptively collected data!🙌 (1/n)
