Biases in Information Selection and Processing: Survey Evidence from the Pandemic

Andreas Fuster

We conduct two survey experiments to study which information people choose to consume and how it affects their beliefs. In the first experiment, respondents choose between optimistic and pessimistic article headlines related to the COVID-19 pandemic and ar ...

Social Opinion Formation and Decision Making Under Communication Trends

Ali H. Sayed, Virginia Bordignon, Mert Kayaalp

This work studies the learning process over social networks under partial and random information sharing. In traditional social learning models, agents exchange full belief information with each other while trying to infer the true state of nature. We stud ...

Energy Management of Price-Maker Community Energy Storage by Stochastic Dynamic Programming

Xue Zhang, Tianshu Yang

In this paper, we propose an analytical stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) algorithm to address the optimal management problem of price-maker community energy storage. As a price-maker, energy storage smooths price differences, thus decreasing energy arb ...

Spatial Modeling for Building Design Evaluation: from Visual Landscape Quality Assessment to Devaluation Risk Estimation

Adam Robert Swietek

Zoning reform is a crucial tool for cities to adapt to contemporary challenges. However, its implementation remains challenging. Property owners, with a vested interest in the value of their neighborhoods, are sensitive to local developments and the potent ...

On the selection and effectiveness of pseudo-absences for species distribution modeling with deep learning

Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger, Nina Marion Aurélia Van Tiel, Lloyd Haydn Hughes, Robin Adrien Zbinden

Species distribution modeling is a highly versatile tool for understanding the intricate relationship between environmental conditions and species occurrences. However, the available data often lacks information on confirmed species absence and is limited ...

Curiosity-driven exploration: foundations in neuroscience and computational modeling

Wulfram Gerstner, Alireza Modirshanechi

Curiosity refers to the intrinsic desire of humans and animals to explore the unknown, even when there is no apparent reason to do so. Thus far, no single, widely accepted definition or framework for curiosity has emerged, but there is growing consensus th ...

Safe multi-agent deep reinforcement learning for joint bidding and maintenance scheduling of generation units

Olga Fink

This paper proposes a safe reinforcement learning algorithm for generation bidding decisions and unit maintenance scheduling in a competitive electricity market environment. In this problem, each unit aims to find a bidding strategy that maximizes its reve ...

The challenges of quasi-static and fatigue experiments of structural adhesives

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

This paper presents the results of an experimental campaign designed specifically to investigate unexpected and unwanted failures observed during the quasi-static and fatigue tensile loading of structural adhesives. Simple finite element models were also d ...

Utility/privacy trade-off as regularized optimal transport

Etienne Patrice Boursier

Strategic information is valuable either by remaining private (for instance if it is sensitive) or, on the other hand, by being used publicly to increase some utility. These two objectives are antagonistic and leaking this information by taking full advant ...

Knowledge-Aware Cross-Modal Text-Image Retrieval for Remote Sensing Images

Devis Tuia, Christel Marie Tartini-Chappuis, Li Mi, Siran Li

Image-based retrieval in large Earth observation archives is difficult, because one needs to navigate across thousands of candidate matches only with the proposition image as a guide. By using text as a query language, the retrieval system gains in usabili ...

A blockchain and IoT-based lightweight framework for enabling information transparency in supply chain finance

Jinzhi Lu

Supply Chain Finance (SCF) refers to the financial service in which banks rely on core enterprises to manage the capital flow and logistics of upstream and downstream enterprises. SCF adopts a self-testing and closed-loop credit model to control funds and ...

The Role of Adaptivity in Source Identification with Time Queries

Gergely Odor

Understanding epidemic propagation in large networks is an important but challenging task, especially since we usually lack information, and the information that we have is often counter-intuitive. An illustrative example is the dependence of the final siz ...

Safety in Numbers: Asymptotic Analysis of a Monitoring Problem

Emre Telatar, Reka Inovan

In this work, we introduce a setup where a monitoring entity attempts to distinguish a cheating player among a group of regular players where all players behave in order to maximize their reward. We assume that the cheating player has an "information advan ...

Imputation of missing information in worldwide patent data

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse

We present a general method for imputing missing information in the Worldwide Patent Statistical Database (PATSTAT) and make the resulting datasets publicly available. The PATSTAT database is the de facto standard for academic research using patent data. C ...

Social Learning Under Inferential Attacks

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Virginia Bordignon, Konstantinos Ntemos

A common assumption in the social learning literature is that agents exchange information in an unselfish manner. In this work, we consider the scenario where a subset of agents aims at driving the network beliefs to the wrong hypothesis. The adversaries a ...

Expectations with Endogenous Information Acquisition: An Experimental Investigation

Andreas Fuster

We use a survey experiment to generate direct evidence on how people acquire and process information. Participants can buy different information signals that could help them forecast future national home prices. We elicit their valuations and exogenously v ...

Single-server Multi-message Private Information Retrieval with Side Information: the General Cases

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Su Li

The single-server multi-message private information retrieval with side information problem is studied for general cases. In this problem, K independent messages are stored at a single server. One user initially has M messages as side information and wants ...

Converse for Multi-Server Single-Message PIR with Side Information

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Su Li

Multi-server single-message private information retrieval is studied in the presence of side information. In this problem, K independent messages are replicatively stored at N non-colluding servers. The user wants to privately download one message from the ...

Agency conflicts and short- versus long-termism in corporate policies

Erwan Morellec

We build a dynamic agency model in which the agent controls both current earnings via short-term investment and firm growth via long-term investment. Under the optimal contract, agency conflicts can induce short- and long-term investment levels beyond firs ...
