title: "Demystifying machine learning for population researchers"

Advances in computational power and statistical algorithms, in
9+
conjunction with the increasing availability of large datasets, have led
10+
to a Cambrian explosion of machine learning (ML) methods. For population
11+
researchers, these methods are useful not only for predicting population
12+
dynamics but also as tools to improve causal inference tasks. However,
13+
the rapid evolution of this literature, coupled with terminological
14+
disparities from conventional approaches, renders these methods
15+
enigmatic and arduous for many population researchers to grasp.
16+
17+
This workshop clarifies the goals, techniques, and applications of
18+
machine learning methods for population research. The workshop covers
19+
20+
- an introduction to ML methods for population researchers,
21+
22+
- showcases of ML applications to answer causal questions,
23+
24+
- discussions of the current developments of ML for population health,
25+
fertility and family dynamics, and
26+
27+
- fosters critical discussions about the shortfalls of these
28+
techniques.
29+
30+
The main focus of this workshop is on ML techniques using quantitative
31+
population data and research questions, not on ML language models. The
32+
workshop consists of keynotes, contributed sessions, and a tutorial.
33+
34+
One keynote lecture will be delivered by Prof. Ian Lundberg (Cornell
35+
University, <https://www.ianlundberg.org/>). Prof. Jennie E. Brand
36+
(UCLA, <https://www.profjenniebrand.com/>) will deliver an online talk.
37+
38+
This in-person workshop will take place in November 5-6 at the Max
39+
Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock. We invite
40+
population researchers with interest in ML applications. We aim to
41+
receive contributions from different fields of population sciences, such
42+
as population health, formal and social demography, public health and
43+
economics, among others.
44+
45+
We invite submission of original research abstract with relevance to ML
46+
and population sciences (max 500 words) and a CV (max. one page) to
47+
MLworkshop\@demogr.mpg.de.
48+
49+
Submission Deadline: **30. April 2024**
50+
51+
Decisions on the selection will be communicated before May 15th. Please
52+
direct any questions to this email address.
53+
54+
Organization committee: Angela Carollo, Aapo Hiilamo, Mikko Myrskyla.
55+
56+
*The workshop has no fees. Participants are expected to cover their
57+
travel and accommodation but limited financial support, offered on a
58+
competitive basis, is available for junior scientists or scientists from
59+
low-middle income countries. Please indicate the request for such
60+
funding at the time of abstract submission.*
61+
62+
*The workshop is organized by the Max Planck Institute for Demographic
63+
Research and The Max Planck -- University of Helsinki Center for Social
64+
Inequalities in Population Health.*
