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.
