Pre-registration for Predictive Modeling

no code implementations30 Nov 2023 Jake M. Hofman, Angelos Chatzimparmpas, Amit Sharma, Duncan J. Watts, Jessica Hullman

Amid rising concerns of reproducibility and generalizability in predictive modeling, we explore the possibility and potential benefits of introducing pre-registration to the field.

Decision Making

Comparing scalable strategies for generating numerical perspectives

no code implementations3 Aug 2023 Hancheng Cao, Sofia Eleni Spatharioti, Daniel G. Goldstein, Jake M. Hofman

Numerical perspectives help people understand extreme and unfamiliar numbers (e. g., \$330 billion is about \$1, 000 per person in the United States).

Multi-Target Multiplicity: Flexibility and Fairness in Target Specification under Resource Constraints

1 code implementation23 Jun 2023 Jamelle Watson-Daniels, Solon Barocas, Jake M. Hofman, Alexandra Chouldechova

Along the way, we refine the study of single-target multiplicity by introducing notions of multiplicity that respect resource constraints -- a feature of many real-world tasks that is not captured by existing notions of predictive multiplicity.

Manipulating and Measuring Model Interpretability

1 code implementation21 Feb 2018 Forough Poursabzi-Sangdeh, Daniel G. Goldstein, Jake M. Hofman, Jennifer Wortman Vaughan, Hanna Wallach

With machine learning models being increasingly used to aid decision making even in high-stakes domains, there has been a growing interest in developing interpretable models.

Split-door criterion: Identification of causal effects through auxiliary outcomes

1 code implementation28 Nov 2016 Amit Sharma, Jake M. Hofman, Duncan J. Watts

We present a method for estimating causal effects in time series data when fine-grained information about the outcome of interest is available.

Scalable Recommendation with Poisson Factorization

4 code implementations7 Nov 2013 Prem Gopalan, Jake M. Hofman, David M. Blei

This is an efficient algorithm that iterates over the observed entries and adjusts an approximate posterior over the user/item representations.

Variational Inference

A Bayesian Approach to Network Modularity

no code implementations21 Sep 2007 Jake M. Hofman, Chris H. Wiggins

We present an efficient, principled, and interpretable technique for inferring module assignments and for identifying the optimal number of modules in a given network.
