Dear Applied Statistics Workshop Community,
Our next meeting of the semester will be at 12:10 pm (EST) Wednesday, December 1, where
Susan
Murphy<http://people.seas.harvard.edu/~samurphy/> (Harvard University)
presents "Assessing Personalization in Digital Health."
Abstract
Reinforcement Learning provides an attractive suite of online learning methods for
personalizing interventions in a Digital Health. However after an reinforcement learning
algorithm has been run in a clinical study, how do we assess whether personalization
occurred? We might find users for whom it appears that the algorithm has indeed learned in
which contexts the user is more responsive to a particular intervention. But could this
have happened completely by chance? We discuss some first approaches to addressing these
questions.
Where: CGIS Knafel Building, Room K354
