Postdoctoral researcher on causal inference for monitoring machine learning algorithms
UCSF After a machine learning (ML)-based system is deployed, monitoring its performance is important to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the algorithm over time. When an ML algor... ithm interacts with its environment, the algorithm can affect the data-generating mechanism and be a major source of bias when evaluating its standalone performance, an issue known as performativity. Although prior work has shown how to validate models in the presence of performativity using causal inference techniques, there has been little work on how to monitor models in the presence of performativity. The goal of this project is to bring together techniques from causal inference and statistical process control to develop a comprehensive framework for post-market monitoring of ML algorithms.
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join our lab. The primary responsibilities are:
Develop new statistical methods/frameworks for post-market monitoring of ML algorithms Implement a software package that can be readily used by ML developers, health AI deployment teams, and ML auditors/regulators Write, edit, and publish research manuscripts in collaboration with the team
Our team is highly collaborative and includes members with wide-ranging expertise:
Jean Feng: PI of the lab. Primary advisor of postdoctoral researcher. Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at UCSF. Fan Xia: Co-advisor of postdoctoral researcher. Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at UCSF. Alexej Gossmann: Staff Fellow and mathematical statistician in the Division of Imaging, Diagnostics, and Software Reliability (CDRH/OSEL/DIDSR) at the FDA.
We are looking to hire a postdoctoral researcher to join the team. The position (100% funded) will be for two years. Salary and benefits are competitive.
