Hi All
Myself [Sinan Aral], Erik Brynjolfsson and Sandy Pentland are very excited
to
announce that the first _/Conference on Digital Experimentation (CODE) @
MIT/_ will take place this October 10-11, 2014 at the Sloan School of
Management!
Details of the event can be found at: www.codecon.net
<http://www.codecon.net/>.
The ability to rapidly deploy micro-level randomized experiments at
population scale is, in our view, one of the most significant
innovations in modern social science. When appropriately theorized and
rigorously applied, randomized experiments are the gold standard of
causal inference and a cornerstone of effective policy. But the scale
and complexity of these experiments also create scientific and
statistical challenges for design and inference.
The purpose of the Conference on Digital Experimentation at MIT (CODE)
is to bring together leading researchers conducting and analyzing large
scale randomized experiments in digitally mediated social and economic
environments, in various scientific disciplines including economics,
computer science and sociology, in order to lay the foundation for
ongoing relationships and to build a lasting multidisciplinary research
community.
We have assembled an amazing group of invited speakers from both
industry and academia who have been thinking about and leading the way
in the realm of digital experimentation.
Invited Speakers Include:
Eric Anderson, Kellogg
Alessandro Aquisti, CMU
Susan Athey, Stanford
Esther Duflo, MIT
Eric Horvitz, Microsoft
Jeremy Howard, Kaggle
Ron Kohavi, Microsoft
Karim Lakhani, Harvard
John Langford, Microsoft
David Lazer, Northeastern
Sendhil Mullainathan, Harvard
Claudia Perlich, Distillery
David Reiley, Google
Hal Varian, Google
Dan Wagner, Civis
Duncan Watts, Microsoft
Participants will be selected based on submissions of 3-page extended
abstracts. _Please submit an extended abstract of no more than 3 pages
to Susan Young ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by August 15th_.
_Abstracts will be evaluated as they are submitted and evaluation will
continue until the program is filled. Space is limited, so interested
researchers should submit their abstracts as soon as possible_.
Authors of accepted abstracts will be _notified by September 1st_ and
will be expected to submit a _final version_ in Microsoft Word format
not to exceed 5 pages, including references and figures, _by September
12th_. Accepted abstracts will be distributed as informal working notes.
Members of the press may attend the event and be present during
presentations, so please take this into account when choosing the work
you submit.
_Key Dates_:
Workshop: October 10-11, 2014
Abstract Submission Deadline: August 15, 2014
Notification to Authors: September 1, 2014
Final Abstract Submission: September 12, 2014
Early Registration Deadline: September 19, 2014
Onsite Registration: October 10, 2014
Please submit your best work on Digital Experiments Soon!
Warm regards
