2023 Hoffman-Yee Symposium
The Hoffman-Yee Grant Symposium highlighted the work of the 2022 winners of the Hoffman-Yee Research Grants. The teams presented their results to date, plans for the future, and competed for additional funding of up to $2 million over the next two years. The grant program is a multiyear initiative to invest in research that leverages artificial intelligence to address significant scientific and/or societal challenges aligned with Stanford HAI’s key areas of focus: understanding the human and societal impact of AI, augmenting human capabilities, and developing AI technologies inspired by human intelligence. We believe the results of these projects could play a significant role in defining future work in AI from academia to industry, government, healthcare and civil society.
At the Symposium, the 2021 recipients of Hoffman-Yee Research Grants also presented results from their research to date and plans for the future.

Sequence data is ubiquitous in economics — job histories in labor economics, diagnosis and treatment sequences in health economics, strategic interactions in game theory. Generative sequence models can learn to predict these sequences well, but their complexity makes it hard to extract interpretable economic insights from their predictions.
