Hierarchical Multi-Label Clsf. for Vaccine
Last edited: August 8, 2025Misinformation can decline people’s intent to vaccinate.
Data
VaxConcerns Taxonomy: sorting misinformation into a taxonomy which has multiple, hierarchical labels
So, you can classify a label in a bunch of places.
Approaches
Ask an LLM to do one of the following…
One-Shot, Multi-Label
Ignore hierchy, just go do multi label system
multi-pass, hierarchical label
try to predict groups at a time, each pass has a label group as input and needs to produce whether the label is given + sublabels

Hindsight Optimization
Last edited: August 8, 2025If we are tele-operating a robot, we ideally want to minimize cost. We want to estimate a user’s goal via user inputs. Predict the most likely goal + assist for it.
“find a cost function for which user input \(u\) is optimal”.
- system does not know the goal
- the user may not change their goal on a whim
Hindsight Optimization
To solve this, we use QMDP: “select the most optimal actions to estimating cost-to-go assuming full observability”.
