Interpretable, Not Black-Box, Artificial Intelligence Should Be Used For Embryo Selection, Michael Anis Mihdi Afnan, Yanhe Liu, Vincent Conitzer, Cynthia Rudin, Abhishek Mishra, Julian Savulescu, Masoud Afnan

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are starting to be used in IVF, in particular for selecting which embryos to transfer to the woman. AI has the potential to process complex data sets, to be better at identifying subtle but important patterns, and to be more objective than humans when evaluating embryos. However, a current review of the literature shows much work is still needed before AI can be ethically implemented for this purpose. No randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been published, and the efficacy studies which exist demonstrate that algorithms can broadly differentiate well between ‘good-’ and ‘poor-’ quality embryos but …

Administrative Law In The Automated State, Cary Coglianese

All Faculty Scholarship

In the future, administrative agencies will rely increasingly on digital automation powered by machine learning algorithms. Can U.S. administrative law accommodate such a future? Not only might a highly automated state readily meet longstanding administrative law principles, but the responsible use of machine learning algorithms might perform even better than the status quo in terms of fulfilling administrative law’s core values of expert decision-making and democratic accountability. Algorithmic governance clearly promises more accurate, data-driven decisions. Moreover, due to their mathematical properties, algorithms might well prove to be more faithful agents of democratic institutions. Yet even if an automated state were …

Playing Pong Using Q-Learning, Akash Kumar Jan 2021

Playing Pong Using Q-Learning, Akash Kumar

West Chester University Master’s Theses

This thesis involves the use of a reinforcement learning algorithm (RL) called Q-learning to train a Q-agent to play a game of Pong against a near-perfect opponent. Compared to previously related work which trained Pong RL agents by combining Q-learning with deep learning in an algorithm known as Deep Q-Networks, the work presented in this paper takes advantage of known environment constraints of the custom-made Pong environment to train the agent using one-step Q-learning alone. In addition, the thesis explores ways of making the Q-learning more efficient by converting Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) to Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs), …
