Abstract Text:

From proteomics to remote sensing, machine learning predictions are beginning to substitute for real data when collection of the latter is difficult, slow or costly. In this talk I will present recent and ongoing work that permits the use of predictions for the purpose of valid statistical inference. I will discuss the use of machine learning predictions as substitutes for high-quality data on one hand, and as a tool for guiding real data collection on the other. In both cases, machine learning allows for a significant boost in statistical power compared to "classical" baselines for inference that do not leverage prediction.
