Pathogen Hazards in Africa

We aim to develop, field-test, and promote improved ways to measure and assess the public health hazards associated with sanitation systems and practices in sub-Saharan Africa, with the overall goal of informing sanitation planning and implementation at community levels. This will involve learning more about the range and distribution of sanitation technologies encountered in two cities of Africa (i.e., Kampala and Lusaka). Learning more about the levels of microbiological hazard in onsite sanitation systems especially septic tanks and other technology-specific lessons can be usefully incorporated in citywide sanitation improvement tools.

Understanding Target Variable Selection in Machine Learning Model Development

Predictive modeling has recently attracted a lot of attention from organizations trying to leverage AI and big data to improve their work processes such as decision-making. However, real-world problems are rarely well-formulated machine learning problems. Practitioners have to supply a well-defined predictive target to operationalize a predictive model. In such cases, they often resort to using observed variables to approximate the actual construct of interest. For example, people have used high sales numbers as a proxy for a good employee. Proxy label selection is a recurring challenge when predictive ML is applied to real-world problems. The purpose of this interview study is to understand how ML practitioners select proxy labels, evaluate proxy labels, and iterate through the different tasks involved.
