Global Rewards in Restless Multi-Armed Bandits
We prove approximation bounds but also point out how these indices could fail when reward functions are highly non-linear. To overcome this, we propose two sets of adaptive policies: the first computes indices iteratively, and the second combines indices with Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS). Empirically, we demonstrate that our proposed policies outperform baselines and index-based policies with synthetic data and real-world data from food rescue.
UniToxSupplementaryMaterials
Drugs For what purpose was the dataset created? that do not have a current FDA-approved label UniTox was created as a unified toxicity dataset (e.g., withdrawn or discontinued drugs) are not across eight types of drug toxicities Each instance is a single drug. For each We generated information across all toxicities for instance, there are eight toxicities, and for each the same set of 2,418 drugs with the same toxicity, there is an LLM-generated summary of methodology of applying LLMs. For each drug, the relevant sections of the drug label, a ternary for each toxicity, we provide an LLM-generated prediction (No/Less/Most), and a binary summary of the relevant portions of the drug prediction (No/Yes). Each instance also provides label, as well as ternary (No/Less/Most) the unique SPL ID, allowing users to find the predictions and binary (No/Yes) predictions for exact text used to generate the instance data. Is there a label or target associated with each Who created the dataset (e.g., which team, instance?
A Decision-Language Model (DLM) for Dynamic Restless Multi-Armed Bandit Tasks in Public Health
Restless multi-armed bandits (RMAB) have demonstrated success in optimizing resource allocation for large beneficiary populations in public health settings. Unfortunately, RMAB models lack flexibility to adapt to evolving public health policy priorities. Concurrently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as adept automated planners across domains of robotic control and navigation. In this paper, we propose a Decision Language Model (DLM) for RMABs, enabling dynamic fine-tuning of RMAB policies in public health settings using human-language commands. We propose using LLMs as automated planners to (1) interpret human policy preference prompts, (2) propose reward functions as code for a multi-agent RMAB environment, and (3) iterate on the generated reward functions using feedback from grounded RMAB simulations. We illustrate the application of DLM in collaboration with ARMMAN, an India-based non-profit promoting preventative care for pregnant mothers, that currently relies on RMAB policies to optimally allocate health worker calls to low-resource populations. We conduct a technology demonstration in simulation using the Gemini Pro model [1], showing DLM can dynamically shape policy outcomes using only human prompts as input.
A Public Health Dataset for England Featuring Medical Prescriptions and Satellite Imagery
As extreme weather events become more frequent, understanding their impact on human health becomes increasingly crucial. However, the utilization of Earth Observation to effectively analyze the environmental context in relation to health remains limited. This limitation is primarily due to the lack of fine-grained spatial and temporal data in public and population health studies, hindering a comprehensive understanding of health outcomes. Additionally, obtaining appropriate environmental indices across different geographical levels and timeframes poses a challenge. For the years 2019 (pre-COVID) and 2020 (COVID), we collected spatio-temporal indicators for all Lower Layer Super Output Areas in England. These indicators included: i) 111 sociodemographic features linked to health in existing literature, ii) 43 environmental point features (e.g., greenery and air pollution levels), iii) 4 seasonal composite satellite images each with 11 bands, and iv) prescription prevalence associated with five medical conditions (depression, anxiety, diabetes, hypertension, and asthma), opioids and total prescriptions.
A Benchmark Task Details
The risk for lead exposure is disproportionately higher for children who are poor, non-Hispanic black, living in large metropolitan areas, or living in older housing. The CDC sets a national standard for blood lead levels in children. This value was established in 2012 to be 3.5 micrograms per decileter (ยตg/dL) of blood.
