CAIS Seminar: Sadiq Patel (Harvard Medical School) - The Telemedicine Use and Access to Health Care during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Tue, Sep 28, 2021 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Sadiq Patel, Harvard Medical School
Talk Title: The Telemedicine Use and Access to Health Care during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Series: USC Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society (CAIS) Seminar Series
Abstract: Using population-level data of 16.7M commercially insured individuals in the US, we examine 1) trends in telemedicine use, 2) variation in telemedicine use by clinical specialty, diagnosis, and patient characteristics, and 3) community factors driving telemedicine use. This analysis uses the machine learning procedure of targeted maximum likelihood estimation.

Epstein Seminar: David Simchi-Levi (MIT) - Statistical Learning in Operations Management
Tue, Sep 28, 2021 @ 03:30 PM - 04:50 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. David Simchi-Levi, MIT
Talk Title: Statistical Learning in Operations Management
Abstract: Traditionally, statistical learning is focused on either (i) online learning where data is generated online according to some unknown model; or (ii) offline learning where the entire data is available at the beginning of the process. In this talk we show that combining both approaches can accelerate learning. Specifically, we show that difficult online learning problems can be reduced to well-understood offline regression problems. We demonstrate the impact of our work in the context of product recommendation, multiclass classification problems, personalized medicine and dynamic pricing.
