Evolutionary Surrogate-assisted Prescription

How does machine learning help in decision-making and optimizing non-pharmaceutical interventions against Covid19

Risto Miikkulainen Professor of Computer Science The University of Texas at Austin and Cognizant Technology Solutions Thursday 19 November at 18:00-19:30 Register! by 16 November at https://webropol.com/ep/HDLS-19112020 Abstract How can we make good decisions in business, engineering design, science, education, and indeed in life in general? Good decisions are often based on experience: recalling what decisions were made in similar situations in the past, how well they worked out, and modifying them to achieve good outcomes in current situation. Evolutionary Surrogate-assisted Prescription (ESP) is a machine learning technology that makes it possible to come up with good decision strategies automatically. The idea is to use historical data to build a predictive surrogate model, and population based search (i.e. evolutionary computation) to discover good decision strategies against it. I’ll review the technology and evaluate it in several examples, including optimizing behavior in sequential decision tasks, and optimizing non-pharmaceutical interventions in the COVID-19 pandemic. The method is found to be sample efficient and creative, forming a foundation for optimizing many decision tasks in the future.

🦠 حالا که رستوران‌ها در رتبه اول در پخش بیماری هستن، چه راه‌کاری برای کاهش شیوع کرونا وجود داره؟ https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03140-4

🦠 از کجا بفهمیم که داریم کرونا رو شکست میدیم؟ بر خلاف آمار روزانه‌ای که شبکه‌های خبری میدن، که اصلا معلوم نمی‌کنه قراره در آینده چه اتفاقی بیافته، در این ویدیو یاد می‌گیریم که چطور از ریاضیات و نمودارهای لگاریتمی میشه کمک گرفت تا آینده‌ای که پیش رو داریم رو روشن‌تر ببینیم و قدرت تحلیل و تصمیم‌گیریمون رو بالا ببریم، نتایج تصمیمات مختلف کشورها رو به روشنی ببینیم و حدس بزنیم که «کی قراره کرونا رو شکست بدیم؟» 🔗 sitpor.org/1399/08/beating-covid-19 #ما_کرونا_را_شکست‌‌_می‌دهیم ~~~~~~ @sitpor ‌instagram.com/sitpor_media ~~~~~~~
