LLM extracts actionable insights from customer reviews.

problem Extracting actionable insights from customer reviews.
method Large language model approach distinguishing perceptual attributes from actionable features.
result High consistency and predictive validity of LLM insights compared to human coders.

Bayesian nonparametric models, such as Gaussian processes, provide a compelling framework for automatic statistical modelling: these models have a high degree of flexibility, and automatically calibrated complexity. However, automating human expertise remains elusive; for example, Gaussian processes with standard kerne…

problem Lack of a comprehensive model for human sub-rationality in financial markets.
method Flexible reinforcement learning model incorporating five human sub-rational aspects.
result Model accurately reproduces human behavior and reveals insights into market dynamics.

AI systems are being deployed to support human decision making in high-stakes domains. In many cases, the human and AI form a team, in which the human makes decisions after reviewing the AI's inferences. A successful partnership requires that the human develops insights into the performance of the AI system, including …

This work advances collaborative decision making by combining human and AI strengths in uncertainty quantification.

problem Current AI lacks robust decision-making capabilities under uncertainty, especially in high-stakes contexts.
method Introduces Human AI Collaborative Uncertainty Quantification (HACUQ) framework, formalizing AI-human collaboration and developing calibration algorithms.

Paper proposes a new RLHF framework for human preference learning.

problem Handling dependent online human preference outcomes with dynamic contexts.
method Two-stage algorithm with εε-greedy followed by exploitation; anti-concentration inequalities and matrix martingale concentration techniques.
result Our method achieves optimal regret bound and asymptotic normality of estimators.

Humans prove theorems by relying on substantial high-level reasoning and problem-specific insights. Proof assistants offer a formalism that resembles human mathematical reasoning, representing theorems in higher-order logic and proofs as high-level tactics. However, human experts have to construct proofs manually by en…

Efficiently evaluate generative models at the prompt level using tensor factorization.

problem Fine-grained evaluations of generative models are costly and often misaligned with human judgment.
method Tensor factorization model that merges cheap autorater data with a small set of human gold-standard labels.
result The method provides accurate and tight confidence intervals for model performance.

Framework uses human judgment to distinguish algorithmically indistinguishable cases.

problem Clarifying human-AI collaboration in prediction and decision tasks.
method Integrates human judgment to distinguish algorithmically indistinguishable cases.
result Improves performance of any feasible algorithmic predictor.

Subjective expected utility theory assumes that decision-makers possess unlimited computational resources to reason about their choices; however, virtually all decisions in everyday life are made under resource constraints - i.e. decision-makers are bounded in their rationality. Here we experimentally tested the predic…

Explainable AI improves human decision accuracy but does not enhance it significantly.

problem Improving human decision-making through explainable AI.
method Comparing human decision accuracy with and without AI predictions, including or excluding explanations.
result Providing AI predictions improves human decision accuracy, but explanations do not significantly enhance it.

What makes a task relatively more or less difficult for a machine compared to a human? Much AI/ML research has focused on expanding the range of tasks that machines can do, with a focus on whether machines can beat humans. Allowing for differences in scale, we can seek interesting (anomalous) pairs of tasks T, T'. We d…

In addition to their security properties, adversarial machine-learning attacks and defenses have political dimensions. They enable or foreclose certain options for both the subjects of the machine learning systems and for those who deploy them, creating risks for civil liberties and human rights. In this paper, we draw…

method Exploiting latent relationships between multi-channel sensor modalities, data-agnostic augmentation, and a classification loss criterion.
result Achieves new state-of-the-art performance on four diverse activity recognition benchmarks.

New method uses explicit human demonstrations to teach missing features in reward learning.

problem Reward learning methods rely on handcrafted features, limiting their ability to adapt to new or unexplained corrections.
method Introduces human input guiding the robot from states with missing features to states without, teaching the feature explicitly and integrating it into the reward function.
result Decreases sample complexity and improves generalization of the learned reward over deep IRL baseline.

result These models predict mobility flows more accurately than gravity or complex machine/deep learning models.

We provide a novel notion of what it means to be interpretable, looking past the usual association with human understanding. Our key insight is that interpretability is not an absolute concept and so we define it relative to a target model, which may or may not be a human. We define a framework that allows for comparin…
