My current research aims to develop machine learning techniques that will bridge the gap between randomized experiments and empirical inference, enabling machines to better learn causality from data. It has numerous applications in observational studies, medical diagnosis, economics, and online advertisement, for example. To this end, I am employing tools and analyses from related disciplines including but not limited to
In general, I aim to address the most fundamental problems in machine learning and to leverage such insights in solving real-world problems in related disciplines. You can find more information about me and my work at http://krikamol.org.

A learning algorithm is the backbone of machine learning that distinguishes it from traditional computer programming by allowing data-driven model building. In the past years, we have developed learning algorithms using a number and tools and for diverse application domains, as outlined below.

Machine learning algorithms are designed to generalize from past observations across different problem settings. The goal of learning theory is to analyze statistical and computational properties of learning algorithms and to provide guarantees on their performance. To do so, it poses these tasks in a rigorous mathematical fram...
