AI Increases Global Access to Reliable Flood Forecasts

1 code implementation30 Jul 2023 Grey Nearing, Deborah Cohen, Vusumuzi Dube, Martin Gauch, Oren Gilon, Shaun Harrigan, Avinatan Hassidim, Daniel Klotz, Frederik Kratzert, Asher Metzger, Sella Nevo, Florian Pappenberger, Christel Prudhomme, Guy Shalev, Shlomo Shenzis, Tadele Tekalign, Dana Weitzner, Yoss Matias

Using AI, we achieve reliability in predicting extreme riverine events in ungauged watersheds at up to a 5-day lead time that is similar to or better than the reliability of nowcasts (0-day lead time) from a current state of the art global modeling system (the Copernicus Emergency Management Service Global Flood Awareness System).

The Large Core of College Admission Markets: Theory and Evidence

no code implementations16 Oct 2020 Péter Biró, Avinatan Hassidim, Assaf Romm, Ran I. Shorrer, Sándor Sóvágó

In Hungary, where such heterogeneity is present, a non-merit-based stable allocation would increase the number of assigned applicants by 1. 9%, and affect 8. 3% of the applicants relative to any merit-based stable allocation.

An Optimal Elimination Algorithm for Learning a Best Arm

no code implementations NeurIPS 2020 Avinatan Hassidim, Ron Kupfer, Yaron Singer

We consider the classic problem of $(\epsilon,\delta)$-PAC learning a best arm where the goal is to identify with confidence $1-\delta$ an arm whose mean is an $\epsilon$-approximation to that of the highest mean arm in a multi-armed bandit setting.

Adversarially Robust Streaming Algorithms via Differential Privacy

no code implementations NeurIPS 2020 Avinatan Hassidim, Haim Kaplan, Yishay Mansour, Yossi Matias, Uri Stemmer

A streaming algorithm is said to be adversarially robust if its accuracy guarantees are maintained even when the data stream is chosen maliciously, by an adaptive adversary.
