This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program provides $599,986 to Stanford University for research titled "Machine Learning with Behavioral and Social Data." The five-year award beginning in August 2022 will support the development of new machine learning algorithms that model human decision-making descriptively based on behavioral data. The researcher aims to build on recent advances in modeling choices as driven by pairwise interactions using tools from graph theory. A key goal is to operationalize behavioral economic theories within machine learning to improve the design of large-scale online systems. The project also seeks to understand theoretical limits of interference-based approaches to modeling choices and apply the methods to complex problems like ranking. It will adapt the modeling tools to develop mechanisms for protecting users from potentially manipulative platform designs by measuring irrationality. The work relies heavily on graph-theoretic analysis and will integrate decision theory and social network modeling literature.
