Causal Inference in Educational Data Mining

The previous two years, we hosted causal inference workshops at the EDM international conferences with great success. Over 30 people attended each of the workshops, and both workshops featured stimulating talks on recently completed projects, works in progress, and open questions. Due to the success of the first workshop, we would like to organize a third workshop on causal inference. Given the recent influx of users to remote learning platforms due to COVID-19, and the interest in investigating the effect of remote learning on students, the need to analyze observational data has grown. A workshop on causal inference can help facilitate discussion and educate new researchers on ways of analyzing the recent breadth of data available. In general, the workshop will be organized to stimulate discussion among participants, including, hopefully, constructive suggestions for open problems
