The webinar will dive into two fascinating topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Advancing Time-Series Forecasting &amp; Exploring the Potential of Generative AI:<\/strong>  Time-series forecasting is fundamental to various industries, enabling informed decision-making in finance, healthcare, and supply chain management. This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of both traditional and modern approaches to time-series analysis. We will begin with classical methods such as ARIMA and Exponential Smoothing, discussing their strengths and limitations. Next, we will explore advancements in machine learning and deep learning approaches, including, transformers, and probabilistic forecasting techniques. Finally, we will examine the emerging role of generative AI in forecasting, uncertainty modelling, and foundation models for time-series prediction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Causal AI:<\/strong> In this presentation, we demonstrate how machine learning and AI can power causal inference. We explain that while traditional predictive models are excellent at forecasting outcomes, they may capture relationships that do not hold under intervention. We illustrate the difference between correlation and causation with clear examples and discuss classical methods\u2014such as re-weighting, stratification, and matching\u2014to address issues like confounding and selection bias. Finally, we introduce modern tools like the DoWhy framework, which streamline the process of modeling causal relationships and validating causal estimates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is just the beginning<\/strong> \u2014 more events, workshops, and podcasts will be announced in the near future. Don\u2019t miss out on this opportunity to connect with the AI and tech community, learn from experts, and engage in thought-provoking discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stay tuned <\/strong>for further details and registration information.
