Value of Information Lab

This lab is devising methods that reason about the acquisition cost and value of specific pieces of information when learning and making inferences with predictive models. These methods are being applied to determine how experimental, clinical, human and other resources should be optimally allocated when gathering data for training predictive models, and also to determine what information should be collected at prediction time in order to optimally make decisions using a given model.
