The speaker is Emilie Devijver of Université Grenoble Alpes, whose talk is titled 'Causal feature selection for out-of-distribution generalization'. She discusses how causal inference, developed to move beyond simple correlations, can support explainability, generalization and action, and proposes a causal feature selection for out-of-distribution prediction with latent confounders, using causal invariance to make predictions in a new environment. The work is in collaboration with PhD student Théotime Le Goff and is hosted by Barbara Bravi.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/biomathematics-seminar-emilie-devijver-universite-grenoble-a-106233/", "official_url": "https://www.imperial.ac.uk/events/216141/biomathematics-seminar-emilie-devijver-universite-grenoble-alpes/", "image": "", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-16T13:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-16T14:00:00Z", "place": "Imperial College London", "address": "Exhibition Road, SW7 2AZ London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Biomathematics seminar – Alejandro Torres-Sánchez (EMBL-Barcelona)", "start": "2026-11-09T13:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-09T14:00:00Z", "place": "Imperial College London", "address": "Exhibition Road, SW7 2AZ London", "price": "", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["science/biology"], "description": "A biomathematics seminar at Imperial College London, open to all and running for one hour in room 140 of the Huxley Building on the South Kensington Campus.

Inferring mechanics from images of cells and tissues', discusses how mechanical forces shaping cells and tissues can be inferred from images rather than measured directly.
