BeSci Briefs
Our BeSci briefs cover the behavioral science solutions Lirio uses to optimize the content, channel, and timing of behavioral interventions and the behavioral biases that inform them.
Ingroup/Outgroup Bias – Lirio Bias Brief
Here we examine the tendency to favor members of one’s own group (“us”) over those in other groups (“them”). Ingroup/outgroup bias, # 8 on Lirio’s list, can have a huge impact on behavior—but will it be the impact you intended?

Omission Bias – Lirio Bias Brief
Omission bias can cause people to make irrational decisions rather than weighing the odds of each outcome. Learn about bias #149 and it’s implications in healthcare and beyond.

Commitment & Consistency – Lirio Bias Brief
People often say that past behavior is the greatest predictor of future behavior. But why? It has a lot to do with self-perception. Learn how commitment & consistency bias can help change it for the better.

Lirio Research: A Novel Policy Comparison Metric for Reinforcement Learning
Lirio’s Behavioral Reinforcement Learning Lab (BReLL) recently published a paper describing a new approach, the Limited Data Estimator, for comparing reinforcement learning policies using limited historical data.
Lirio Research: Introducing A New Form of Machine Learning Optimization
Lirio’s AI Research team recently developed a novel adaptive stochastic gradient-free (ASGF) approach for solving some of the most difficult optimization challenges in machine learning. This innovative optimization algorithm, which is simple to implement and does not require careful fine-tuning, offers significant improvements when compared to existing state-of-the-art approaches.
