OCPSG is pleased to announce its inaugural speaker event ‘Generative AI for Predictive and Causal Inference’ featuring Professor Kosuke Imai from the Department of Government and the Department of Statistics at Harvard University. He is currently a CESS/Politics Academic Visitor at Nuffield College, University of Oxford. Professor Imai specializes in statistical and machine learning methods within the social sciences, particularly focusing on causal inference, computational social science, program evaluation, and survey methodology. He is the author of Quantitative Social Science: An Introduction published by the Princeton University Press. Outside of Harvard, Imai served as the President of the Society for Political Methodology from 2017 to 2019. Join us for this exciting opportunity to explore cutting-edge insights at the intersection of generative AI and causal inference.

The hybrid event takes place in the Lecture Hall at the Manor Road Building on Tuesday, 20 May, at 14:30. It is open to both Oxford and non-Oxford students and researchers, who also have the option to join the event online.

The Oxford Computational Political Science Group (OCPSG) is a non-partisan research initiative based at the University of Oxford and supported by the Department of Politics and International Relations. We are dedicated to advancing the study and application of computational methods in political science. By offering a collaborative environment that blends political science with computational techniques, OCPSG empowers students and researchers to explore innovative solutions to complex political questions.
