Econometrics, Machine Learning, and Big Data

Here's a useful slide deck by Greg Duncan at Amazon, from a recent seminar at FRB San Francisco (powerpoint, ughhh, sorry...). It's basically a superset of the keynote talk he gave at Penn's summer 2017 conference, Big Data in Predictive Dynamic Econometric Modeling. Greg understands better than most the close connection between "machine learning" and econometrics / statistics, especially between machine learning and the predictive perspective emphasized in time series for a century or so.
