About
The Machine Learning for Health and Well-Being (MLwell) Lab is a research lab at the Bio-Medical Engineering department at Tel-Aviv University. Our vision is to create the technology to allow everyone and everywhere access to personalized medicine and precision psychology that is: (i) effective (ii) respects the biological, cultural and behavioral differences between people (iii) respects privacy and other ethical requirements (iv) affordable. Our mission is to improve the state in the art in machine learning algorithms for personalized medicine and precision psychology.

A Last Switch Dependent Analysis of Satiation and Seasonality in Bandits
When interacting with humans, boredom/novelty should be considered when selecting content. In this paper, recently presented at AIstats we present a novel version of the multi-armed bandit problem that defines this problem. We present theoretical analysis of the problem and algorithms.

Trees with Attention for Set Prediction Tasks
In a new ICML 2021 paper we shows how decision trees can be applied to data with sets. Empirical results show it is on par and sometimes outperforms deep learning.

Robust Model Compression Using Deep Hypotheses
In a paper published in AAAI 2021 we show a new method to compress large models. The method allows compressing across model types such that a big neural network can be compressed to a tree and vice-versa.
