Can’t wait to share this work at Oxford on Wednesday! Come learn how we can use machine learning to help with the problem of scarce data in history.
Next week @OxfordESH @mmpaker will give a paper about how we’re using machine learning to predict seven centuries of wages better than a regression ever could ! Hope to see you there.
