Machine Learning Senior Economist
and the Center for Applied AI at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business are hosting a conference on Frontiers in Machine Learning and Economics: Methods and Applications on October 3-4, 2025. The goal of this annual conference is to bring together leading researchers across fields that work at the intersection of machine learning and the social sciences. This year’s conference will be held in Chicago.
Call for Papers
Examples of potential topics include (but are not limited to):
- Methodological advances in analyzing complex and high-dimensional datasets.
- Methodological advances in Natural Language Processing, in particular with respect to causal inference.
- Innovative applications of Generative AI.
- The societal impacts of AI and algorithmic decision making.
