Proud & excited to share, 8 years(!) after starting this work. 🚨New in @NatureHumBehav🚨 BEAST-GB: a hybrid model predicting human choice at near-ceiling levels. It uses small data, beats behavioral & AI models, generalizes across contexts, and even explains human choice! 1/x
In this Article, @OriPlonsky et al. introduce a new model that merges behavioral science and machine learning to predict choice under risk and uncertainty. Tested on multiple large datasets, it exceeds top psychological and AI models. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Between alarms and sheltering, I learned last night that my postdoc mentor, Professor Atul Butte @atulbutte, has passed away, and he is only 55 years old. This is devastating news 💔. Atul was a giant in so many ways. He was a visionary leader in translational bioinformatics…
