Behavioral economist. Game theorist. AI Researcher at Facebook. MythBusters axiom: “The only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.”
Mr. Bloomberg brings a huge personal fortune and moderate views to an increasingly fluid race, but issues like criminal justice and his late start loom as vulnerabilities.
Researchers often lack the necessary data to credibly estimate racial bias in policing. In particular, police administrative records lack information on civilia
A core component of the SAO's commitment to data transparency under State's Attorney Foxx is the regular release of felony case-level datasets, which offer an unobstructed view of the SAO's public safety work on behalf of Cook County taxpayers.
Since 2012, the amount of compute used in the largest AI training runs has been increasing exponentially with a 3.5 month doubling time (by comparison, Moore's Law had an 18 month doubling period).
PubMed comprises more than 30 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites.
A bunch of rats have learned how to drive tiny vehicles around to pick up food. How did this unlikely scenario come around, you're no doubt asking? Well, f
Allocating multiple scarce items across a set of individuals is an important
practical problem. In the case of divisible goods and additive preferences a
convex program can be used to find the solution that maximizes Nash welfare
(MNW). The MNW...
Bayesian optimization provides sample-efficient global optimization for a
broad range of applications, including automatic machine learning, molecular
chemistry, and experimental design. We introduce BoTorch, a modern programming
framework for...
Machine learning models for medical image analysis often suffer from poor
performance on important subsets of a population that are not identified during
training or testing. For example, overall performance of a cancer detection
model may be high,...
Deep reinforcement learning has learned to play many games well, but failed
on others. To better characterize the modes and reasons of failure of deep
reinforcement learners, we test the widely used Asynchronous Actor-Critic (A2C)
algorithm on four...
“The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say no to almost everything.” That is Warren Buffett, quoted in Farnam Street. I’m always delighted when something I’ve been doing is vindicated by...
