• Abstract summary: Kilkari is one of the world's largest mobile health programs which delivers time sensitive audio-messages to pregnant women and new mothers. We provide an initial analysis of the trajectories of beneficiaries' interaction with the mHealth program. We examine elements of the program that can be potentially enhanced to boost its success.

• Abstract: Mobile health programs are becoming an increasingly popular medium for dissemination of health information among beneficiaries in less privileged communities. Kilkari is one of the world's largest mobile health programs which delivers time sensitive audio-messages to pregnant women and new mothers. We have been collaborating with ARMMAN, a non-profit in India which operates the Kilkari program, to identify bottlenecks to improve the efficiency of the program. In particular, we provide an initial analysis of the trajectories of beneficiaries' interaction with the mHealth program and examine elements of the program that can be potentially enhanced to boost its success. We cluster the cohort into different buckets based on listenership so as to analyze listenership patterns for each group that could help boost program success. We also demonstrate preliminary results on using historical data in a time-series prediction to identify beneficiary dropouts and enable NGOs in devising timely interventions to strengthen beneficiary retention.

  We propose a hierarchical programmatic reinforcement learning framework to produce program policies. By learning to compose programs, our proposed framework can produce program policies that describe out-of-distributionally complex behaviors. The experimental results in the Karel domain show that our proposed framework outperforms baselines.

  We propose to let the model perform sampling during training and learn from both self-sampled fully-correct programs and partially-correct programs. We show that our use of self-sampled correct and partially-correct programs can benefit learning and help guide the sampling process. Our proposed method improves the pass@k performance by 3.1% to 12.3% compared to learning from a single reference program with MLE.

  Cell phones have enabled non-profits to deliver critical health information to their beneficiaries in a timely manner. A key challenge in such information delivery programs is that a significant fraction of beneficiaries drop out of the program. We developed a Restless Multi-Armed Bandits system to help non-profits place crucial service calls for live interaction with beneficiaries to prevent such engagement drops.
