Position: Use Sparse Autoencoders to Discover Unknowns

Kenny Peng, Rajiv Movva, Jon Kleinberg +2

While sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have generated significant excitement, a series of negative results have added to skepticism about their usefulness. Here, we establish a conceptua…

Urban Incident Prediction with Graph Neural Networks: Integrating Government Ratings and Crowdsourced Reports

Sidhika Balachandar, Shuvom Sadhuka, Bonnie Berger +2

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are widely used in urban spatiotemporal forecasting, such as predicting infrastructure problems. In this setting, government officials wish to know in…

Bayesian Modeling of Zero-Shot Classifications for Urban Flood Detection

Matt Franchi, Nikhil Garg, Wendy Ju +1

Street scene datasets, collected from Street View or dashboard cameras, offer a promising means of detecting urban objects and incidents like street flooding. However, a major chal…

Inferring fine-grained migration patterns across the United States

Gabriel Agostini, Rachel Young, Maria Fitzpatrick +2

Fine-grained migration data illuminate demographic, environmental, and health phenomena. However, United States migration data have serious drawbacks: public data lack spatial gran…

Sparse Autoencoders for Hypothesis Generation

Rajiv Movva, Kenny Peng, Nikhil Garg +2

We describe HypotheSAEs, a general method to hypothesize interpretable relationships between text data (e.g., headlines) and a target variable (e.g., clicks). HypotheSAEs has three…

Learning Disease Progression Models That Capture Health Disparities

Erica Chiang, Divya Shanmugam, Ashley N. Beecy +4

Disease progression models are widely used to inform the diagnosis and treatment of many progressive diseases. However, a significant limitation of existing models is that they do…

A Bayesian Spatial Model to Correct Under-Reporting in Urban Crowdsourcing

Gabriel Agostini, Emma Pierson, Nikhil Garg

Decision-makers often observe the occurrence of events through a reporting process. City governments, for example, rely on resident reports to find and then resolve urban infrastru…

Domain constraints improve risk prediction when outcome data is missing

Sidhika Balachandar, Nikhil Garg, Emma Pierson

Machine learning models are often trained to predict the outcome resulting from a human decision. For example, if a doctor decides to test a patient for disease, will the patient t…

Topics, Authors, and Institutions in Large Language Model Research: Trends from 17K arXiv Papers

Rajiv Movva, Sidhika Balachandar, Kenny Peng +3

Large language models (LLMs) are dramatically influencing AI research, spurring discussions on what has changed so far and how to shape the field's future. To clarify such question…

Detecting disparities in police deployments using dashcam data

Matt Franchi, J. D. Zamfirescu-Pereira, Wendy Ju +1

Large-scale policing data is vital for detecting inequity in police behavior and policing algorithms. However, one important type of policing data remains largely unavailable withi…

Coarse race data conceals disparities in clinical risk score performance

Rajiv Movva, Divya Shanmugam, Kaihua Hou +4

Healthcare data in the United States often records only a patient's coarse race group: for example, both Indian and Chinese patients are typically coded as "Asian." It is unknown,…
