Sound decision-making relies on accurate prediction for tangible outcomes ranging from military conflict to disease outbreaks. To improve crowdsourced forecasting accuracy, we developed SAGE, a hybrid forecasting system that combines human…

Ensembles are ubiquitous in off-policy actor-critic learning, yet their efficacy depends critically on how they are aggregated. Current methods typically rely on static rules or task-specific hyperparameters to balance overestimation bias…
