As part of the Center for Social & Behavioral Science Methods Series, CSBS is hosting a full-day workshop led by Dr. Jeff Levy, Assistant Instructional Professor at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy, focused on how machine learning can be applied in social and behavioral science.

Using real-world data, Dr. Levy will introduce core machine learning concepts including supervised learning, model evaluation, and interpreting results. Participants will engage interactive, hands-on exercises using tools like Python or R.

What You Will Gain:

• A practical introduction to key machine learning concepts.
• An understanding of cross-validation, model selection, and performance metrics.
