Generative Adversarial Bayesian Optimization for Surrogate Objectives

1 code implementation9 Feb 2024 Michael S. Yao, Yimeng Zeng, Hamsa Bastani, Jacob Gardner, James C. Gee, Osbert Bastani

To address this limitation, we propose generative adversarial Bayesian optimization (GABO) using adaptive source critic regularization, a task-agnostic framework for Bayesian optimization that employs a Lipschitz-bounded source critic model to constrain the optimization trajectory to regions where the surrogate function is reliable.

Rethinking Fairness for Human-AI Collaboration

no code implementations5 Oct 2023 Haosen Ge, Hamsa Bastani, Osbert Bastani

However, we show that it may be infeasible to design algorithmic recommendations that are simultaneously fair in isolation, compliance-robustly fair, and more accurate than the human policy; thus, if our goal is to improve the equity and accuracy of human-AI collaboration, it may not be desirable to enforce traditional fairness constraints.

Decision-Aware Learning for Optimizing Health Supply Chains

no code implementations15 Nov 2022 Tsai-Hsuan Chung, Vahid Rostami, Hamsa Bastani, Osbert Bastani

We apply our framework to optimize the distribution of essential medicines in collaboration with policymakers in Sierra Leone; highly uncertain demand and limited budgets currently result in excessive unmet demand.

Uniformly Conservative Exploration in Reinforcement Learning

1 code implementation25 Oct 2021 Wanqiao Xu, Jason Yecheng Ma, Kan Xu, Hamsa Bastani, Osbert Bastani

A key challenge to deploying reinforcement learning in practice is avoiding excessive (harmful) exploration in individual episodes.

Group-Sparse Matrix Factorization for Transfer Learning of Word Embeddings

no code implementations18 Apr 2021 Kan Xu, Xuanyi Zhao, Hamsa Bastani, Osbert Bastani

However, learning word embeddings from new domains with limited training data can be challenging, because the meaning/usage may be different in the new domain, e. g., the word ``positive'' typically has positive sentiment, but often has negative sentiment in medical notes since it may imply that a patient tested positive for a disease.
