Most modern supervised statistical/machine learning (ML) methods are explicitly designed to solve prediction problems very well. Achieving this goal does not imply that these methods automatically deliver good estimators of causal parameters. Examples of such parameters include individual...

We revisit the classic semiparametric problem of inference on a low di-mensional parameter Ø0 in the presence of high-dimensional nuisance parameters π0. We depart from the classical setting by allowing for π0 to be so high-dimensional that the traditional assumptions, such as Donsker...
