Validity of machine learning in biology and medicine increased through collaborations across fields of expertise

M Littmann, K Selig, L Cohen-Lavi, Y Frank…�- Nature Machine�…, 2020 - nature.com
Abstract Machine learning (ML) has become an essential asset for the life sciences and
medicine. We selected 250 articles describing ML applications from 17 journals sampling 26�…

[HTML][HTML] Bursty gene expression in the intact mammalian liver

KB Halpern, S Tanami, S Landen, M Chapal, L Szlak…�- Molecular cell, 2015 - cell.com
Bursts of nascent mRNA have been shown to lead to substantial cell-cell variation in
unicellular organisms, facilitating diverse responses to environmental challenges. It is�…

Multi-player bandits–a musical chairs approach

J Rosenski, O Shamir, L Szlak�- International Conference on�…, 2016 - proceedings.mlr.press
We consider a variant of the stochastic multi-armed bandit problem, where multiple players
simultaneously choose from the same set of arms and may collide, receiving no reward. This�…

Online learning with local permutations and delayed feedback

O Shamir, L Szlak�- International Conference on Machine�…, 2017 - proceedings.mlr.press
Abstract We propose an Online Learning with Local Permutations (OLLP) setting, in which
the learner is allowed to slightly permute the order of the loss functions generated by an�…

[HTML][HTML] Comparing the efficacy of anti-seizure medications using matched cohorts on a large insurance claims database

L Ness, L Szlak, F Benninger, S Ravid, M Chorev…�- Epilepsy Research, 2024 - Elsevier
Epilepsy is a severe chronic neurological disease affecting 60 million people worldwide.
Primary treatment is with anti-seizure medicines (ASMs), but many patients continue to�…

Convergence results for Q-learning with experience replay

L Szlak, O Shamir�- arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.04213, 2021 - arxiv.org
A commonly used heuristic in RL is experience replay (eg~\citet {lin1993reinforcement,
mnih2015human}), in which a learner stores and re-uses past trajectories as if they were�…

Replay For Safety

L Szlak, O Shamir�- arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.04229, 2021 - arxiv.org
Experience replay\citep {lin1993reinforcement, mnih2015human} is a widely used
technique to achieve efficient use of data and improved performance in RL algorithms. In�…

Hierarchical Bias-Driven Stratification for Interpretable Causal Effect Estimation

L Ter-Minassian, L Szlak, E Karavani, C Holmes…�- arXiv preprint arXiv�…, 2024 - arxiv.org
Interpretability and transparency are essential for incorporating causal effect models from
observational data into policy decision-making. They can provide trust for the model in the�…

Meeting new, more strict limits for formaldehyde emission from wood based composites is
hardly possible without essential changes in technology and processing. Since�…

Suboptimal and trait-like reinforcement learning strategies correlate with midbrain encoding of prediction errors

L Szlak, K Aberg, R Paz�- arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.04327, 2021 - arxiv.org
During probabilistic learning organisms often apply a sub-optimal" probability-matching"
strategy, where selection rates match reward probabilities, rather than engaging in the�…
