So the innovation here is that the speaker has created a faster simpler algorithm to solve a problem based on the number of times that the algorithm references information that by definition one will never has access to? In the heterogenous treatment effects framework this in effect assumes that one has access to all potential outcomes for each observational unit. i.e. you give a cancer patient one of 20 treatments, observe the outcome from that treatment then some how know the outcome from every other treatment given to THAT patient? So what practical use is it?
Please focus only on the slides. The general viewership of this kind of talk is not interested in the presenter's body language.
Super nice to learn about the contextual bandits!
ahen there are multiple ads, how to de choose 'k' ads as actions, since actions are just classes right
Very enlightening. This is bleeding-edge research in the field
hope to see the slides
tldr; is there a 15 minute version of this?
Cool

The camera person sucks, next time please spend more time on the presentation while the presenter is talking us through
FFS show us the slides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
