Peer-run behavioral health organizations (PROs) critically assist individuals facing these conditions by combining mental health services with assistance for ne
Food rescue organizations simultaneously tackle food insecurity and waste by working with volunteers to redistribute food from donors who have excess to recipients who need it. Volunteer feedback allows food rescue organizations to identify issues early and ensure volunteer satisfaction. However, fo
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) generate guarantees for treatment effects. However, RCTs often spend unnecessary resources exploring sub-optimal treatments, which can reduce the power of treatment guarantees. To address this, we propose a two-stage RCT design. In the first stage, a data-driven s…
Restless multi-armed bandits (RMAB) extend multi-armed bandits so arm pulls impact future arm states. Despite the success of RMABs, a key limiting assumption is the separability of rewards into a sum across arms. We address this deficiency by proposing restless-multi-armed bandit with global rewards…
Concept-based explainability methods provide insight into deep learning systems by constructing explanations using human-understandable concepts. While the literature on human reasoning demonstrates that we exploit relationships between concepts when solving tasks, it is unclear whether concept-base…
