Surgo wins best poster at NeurIPS 2019 AI for Social Good workshop

Surgo presented two posters on our causal machine learning initiative at NeurIPS 2019, the world’s leading AI conference. Our poster on our work using causal machine learning to bring a precision public health approach to save mother’s and babies in rural India won best poster in the AI for Social Good workshop. We also presented a spotlight talk on our causal data sheet work.

Two Surgo submissions accepted into NeurIPS 2019 Workshops

Two Surgo papers were accepted into NeurIPS2019 Workshops. For the workshop on“Do the right thing”: machine learning and causal inference for improved decision making, our paper “Causal datasheet: An approximate guide to practically assess Bayesian networks in the real world” discusses a new tool for users to validate results and define uncertainty for Bayesian Network analysis for any dataset. In the AI for Social Good workshop, we will present “ML and precision public health: Saving mothers and babies from dying in rural India", which demonstrates how optimized data collection coupled with machine learning provides a holistic picture into the drivers and barriers to hospital delivery.
