The 2025 Hoffman-Yee Grant Symposium will comprise of public talks from the six teams who are competing for funding, as well as showcase the work of the four 2024 winners of the Hoffman-Yee Research Grants. All teams will present their results to date and plans for the future.

The Hoffman-Yee Research 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.

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.
