Using Machine Learning to explain causality: no more spurious correlations!
About

Machine Learning has long been used for classification, regression and ranking tasks, pushing the boundaries of performance with more and more complex algorithms.
Surprisingly, a much lower attention has been put on using ML to answer a different question that is frequent for any company: what's been the actual impact of a given action (like a campaign) on a target metric?
Leaving aside the traditional treatment-control approach, not always applicable, we'll see how Causal Machine Learning actually works and how to implement it effectively.
