Her work frequently spotlights Root Cause Analysis, helping teams figure out why machine breakdowns and defects occur in intricate process chains. Because traditional methods struggle with massive data volumes, Varsha relies on Explainable AI and causal discovery techniques. She plots out genuine causal paths rather than just statistical associations. By making models more transparent, she helps industrial practitioners optimize decision-making and fix systemic errors. ## Past Sessions ### World Congress 2025 · July 9, 2025 Berlin, Germany - [Solving the puzzle: Leveraging machine learning for effective root cause analysis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1518-solving-the-puzzle-leveraging-machine-learning-for-effective-root-cause-analysis) · 30 min · 🎥 Watch recording ## Videos - [Solving the puzzle: Leveraging machine learning for effective root cause analysis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1518-solving-the-puzzle-leveraging-machine-learning-for-effective-root-cause-analysis) · Bernhard, Varsha Venugopal ## Links - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/varshav96/)
