Explain Causal-Inference Techniques in Your Machine Learning Project
Technical Deep-Dive: ML Project With Causal Inference
Prompt
Walk me through one machine learning project you led and explain any causal inference techniques you applied.
What to Cover (3–5 minutes, then be ready to dive deeper)
- Problem and business metric.
- Data and “treatment” definition; key features and outcome.
- Model selection and why (baseline vs advanced, offline metrics).
- Causal method and identification (e.g., propensity scores, DiD, AIPW, IV); assumptions.
- Results and validation; diagnostics and sensitivity checks.
- Lessons learned and what you’d do next.
