Was haben Flamewars mit dem Silicon Valley und dem Gesundheitswesen zu tun? Beim #rC3 darf ich wieder Gast bei @ChaosWildWest sein und spreche direkt zum Auftakt am 27.12. um 13h. #cwa

How do humans interact with pricing algorithms within firms❓ We explore this question using two large-scale field experiments in collaboration with @ZalandoTech in a new WP. This work is a collaboration with Tobias Huelden, @VJascisens and @LarsRoemheld. 🧵Thread below.

"I find that 'applied science' has different expectations than research science. So I wrote up what, in my experience, helps produce great applied science work." by Lars Roemheld buff.ly/3KU3YYd

A big part of leadership is making expectations explicit. Over the last year, I've formalized what I believe to be great applied (data) science work. Whether as a "definition of done", inspiration for personal development, or ideas to shape team culture. medium.com/@lars.roemheld/57…

Meldewochen 2020/2021 im Vergleich: Die 7-Tage-Inzidenz zeigt starken Anstieg bei den 15-34-Jährigen.😮 Angesicht der #DeltaVariante ist es wichtig, die #CoronaWarnApp (empfohlen >16) jetzt zu nutzen. Ihr könnt im Infektionsfall andere direkt warnen. ➡️rki.de/DE/Content/InfAZ/N/Ne…

Using @VC31415 's Double Machine Learning for causal inference in industry: I wrote up a deep dive article about a real-world example. I like this plot, because... 👇 towardsdatascience.com/causa…

... it neatly summarizes what's happening: using 2 RandomForests, confounding noise is reduced. This comes at a cost, as we explain away and therefore lose variation in our cause of interest.
Auch für #DeltaVariante: Es gibt inzwischen gute Hinweise, dass die #CoronaWarnApp funktioniert! Mehr freiwillige Warnungen = langsamere Verbreitung. Mehr-Nutzer bringen wegen Netzwerkeffekten überproportional Mehr-Nutzen. Installieren hilft.

Many important points. #1 issue is missing though: reliable antigen/antibody tests are cheap. Why put somebody in expensive scanners for the same diagnostic quality in the first place?

Can you detect COVID-19 using Machine Learning? 🤔 You have an X-ray or CT scan and the task is to detect if the patient has COVID-19 or not. Sounds doable, right? None of the 415 ML papers published on the subject in 2020 was usable. Not a single one! Let's see why 👇

Don't touch the collider, and be clever about observational, interventional, and randomized data: very much enjoyed teaching a practitioner's perspective on causal inference. Thanks for having me!

What an awesome opportunity our @helmholtz_ai provided me today: a full day workshop on causal inference by 2 superb teachers & formidable experts @k__niki @LarsRoemheld! I am super grateful 🙏 and overwhelmed at the same time. ☕️ Mind the colliders! 💥⚠️

24.300 bestätigte Neuinfektionen. Viel zu viele! Und 4.449 warnende Personen über die Corona-Warn-App, die offensichtlich besser funktioniert als ihr Talkshow-Image verspricht.

Look 'ma, I'm on #Tagesschau! 1 second of fame for my talk on #CoronaWarnApp . Download the app for your friends and family, and remember that for warnings you need to opt-in twice; on the lab order and in the app. (h/t @naehrdine for being the main character!)
