2021 Internship Work Featured in IBM's Environmental, Social, & Governance Report

Here’s a copy of the excerpt of work mentioned in the ESG report:

IBM Research® continued its long-standing Science for Social Good program to conduct joint research with social change organizations, and develop algorithmic solutions for problems relevant to their missions. In 2021, the goal was to work with organizations from different areas of the social sector and devise a common, reusable solution framework to address their needs. The team developed a novel restless multi-armed bandit algorithm to support the decision making of Breaking Ground in homeless outreach, Change Machine in financial coaching for socioeconomically disadvantaged people, and Leket in gleaning unharvested food.

Here’s a link to the report, if curious for more.
