Learn to Vaccinate: Combining Structure Learning and Effective Vaccination for Epidemic and Outbreak Control

ICML 2025poster

The Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) model is a widely used model for the spread of information and infectious diseases, particularly non-immunizing ones, on a graph. Given a highly contagious disease, a natural question is how to best vaccinate individuals to minimize the disease's extinction…

Fast Proxy Experiment Design for Causal Effect Identification

NeurIPS 2024poster

Identifying causal effects is a key problem of interest across many disciplines. The two long-standing approaches to estimate causal effects are observational and experimental (randomized) studies. Observational studies can suffer from unmeasured confounding, which may render the causal effects unid…

Contextual Combinatorial Volatile Multi-armed Bandit with Adaptive Discretization

AISTATS 2020poster

We consider contextual combinatorial volatile multi-armed bandit (CCV-MAB), in which at each round, the learner observes a set of available base arms and their contexts, and then, selects a super arm that contains $K$ base arms in order to maximize its cumulative reward. Under the semi-bandit feedba…
