Virality and the Virus: COVID-19 Cures on Twitter in India
Social media platforms often become environments of information ambiguity during crisis events. We studied the discussion around four ”cures” for COVID-19 in India, where the highest number of cases were recorded between 2020 and May 2021, focusing on the role played by high network accounts on social media such as those of journalists, politicians, and celebrities. We find that information scarcity and anxiety among citizens enabled non-experts, particularly the aforementioned social media influencers. We find…

Medical Dead-ends and Learning to Identify High-risk States and Treatments
Machine learning has successfully framed many sequential decision making problems as either supervised prediction, or optimal decision-making policy identification via reinforcement learning. In data-constrained offline settings, both approaches may fail as they assume fully optimal behavior or rely on exploring alternatives that may not exist. We introduce an inherently different approach that identifies possible “dead-ends” of a state space. We focus on the condition of patients in the intensive care unit, where a “medical dead-end”…
