A Holistic Approach for the Simulation, Evaluation, and Design of Organ Transplantation Policies in the US
A Holistic Approach for the Simulation, Evaluation, and Design of Organ Transplantation Policies in the US
Abstract: The rapid proliferation of high-quality synthetic data -- generated by advanced AI models or collected as auxiliary data from related tasks -- presents both opportunities and challenges for statistical inference. Here, we introduce the GEneral Synthetic-Powered Inference (GESPI) framework that wraps around any statistical inference procedure to safely enhance sample efficiency by combining synthetic…
Statistics and Strategic Behavior in Algorithmically Mediated Systems
Abstract: The emergence of large language models has prompted a surge of interest into theoretical models that might give us insight into both their successes and their shortcomings. We'll give an overview of recent work in this direction, focusing on a surprising line of positive results that shows it is possible to give guarantees for…
