If we know someone’s career history, how well can we predict which jobs they’ll have next? Read our profile of @keyonv.bsky.social to learn how ML models can be used to predict workers’ career trajectories & better understand labor markets. medium.com/@gsb_silab/k...

Foundation models make great predictions. How should we use them for estimation problems in social science? New PNAS paper @susanathey.bsky.social & @keyonv.bsky.social & @Blei Lab: Bad news: Good predictions ≠ good estimates. Good news: Good estimates possible by fine-tuning models differently 🧵

Online course certificates (from MOOCs) are booming (40M+ learners in 2024). But do these credentials actually help people get jobs? Our team investigated this in a new study by @susanathey.bsky.social & Emil Palikot 👇.
