Ariel Rosenfeld - Strategic Human-Agent Interaction: From Promoting Traffic Safety to Medical Triage

As technology progresses, we find ourselves working with automated agents increasingly more often. Developing intelligent automated agents capable of interacting and operating in shared environments necessitate the development of integrative approaches which consider both the computational and human factors. In this talk, I will present a few of my research efforts towards developing intelligent agents with real-world impact, ranging from "adversarial" settings such as apprehending reckless drivers (which is currently

deployed by the Israeli Traffic Police) to fully cooperative settings such as automated emergency room triage (which is currently being adapted for deployment in one of Israel's hospitals). Through extensive empirical evaluations, we demonstrate how the interdisciplinary integration of computational fields such as Machine Learning, Optimization and AI with behavioral sciences such as economics can bring about a much desired leap in the way we develop human interacting agents for social good.
