Many libraries have recently emerged that offer implementations of algorithms for heterogeneous treatment effect estimation (or, CATE estimation). The most well-known examples are Microsoft's EconML (https://github.com/microsoft/EconML) and Uber's CausalML (https://github.com/uber/causalml). Existing libraries require all data to fit in memory, which is often a limitation for industry applications on web scale datasets. Booking.com's new library offers similar functionality on top of Spark, enabling web scale uplift modeling.
