Hans Jarett Ong

Hello there! I’m Hans, currently a doctoral student at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST). Prior to this, I worked as a Data Scientist for 4 years, first in healthcare, and later on in banking.

My primary research interest is on causality (e.g., causal inference and discovery). I believe that causality is needed to address some of the most pressing challenges of machine learning and aritificial intelligence. This includes issues like out-of-distribution generalization, ensuring model fairness, and transitioning from mere predictions to actionable recommendations.

Welcome to my site! Feel free to look around. I’ll be sharing research updates, projects, and other content through this site, so stay tuned!
