News Finding: The algorithm takes into account a variety of factors that resettlement agencies usually don't, from age to English proficiency to the size of the immigrant community from a refugee's country in any given location.
Paper Finding: Our preferred case-level metric was the predicted probability that at least one refugee in the case would find employment at the location in question.
News Context: But what kind of life that will be largely depends on where they end up. The algorithm takes into account a variety of factors that resettlement agencies usually don't, from age to English proficiency to the size of the immigrant community from a refugee's country in any given location. But by weighing in specific details about the refugees and the communities where they are headed, the algorithm can place them where their skills are the most marketable.
Paper Context: Various mapping functions can be used. Our preferred case-level metric was the predicted probability that at least one refugee in the case would find employment at the location in question. Our algorithm is flexible and can accommodate multiple criteria and constraints.
