Robust Sparse Voting

Rachid Guerraoui, Youssef Allouah, Oscar Jean Olivier Villemaud, Le Nguyen Hoang

Many applications, such as content moderation and recommendation, require reviewing and scoring a large number of alternatives. Doing so robustly is however very challenging. Indeed, voters' inputs are inevitably sparse: most alternatives are only scored b ...

Smell Driven Navigation for Soft Robotic Arms: Artificial Nose and Control

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Francesco Stella, Egidio Falotico

Elephants and other animals heavily rely on the sense of smell to operate. Soft robots would also benefit from an artificial sense of smell, which could be helpful in typical soft robotic tasks such as search and rescue, pipe inspection, and all the tasks ...

Optimization and equilibrium problems with discrete choice models

Stefano Bortolomiol

Many transportation markets are characterized by oligopolistic competition. In these markets customers, suppliers and regulators make decisions that are influenced by the preferences and the decisions of all other agents. In particular, capturing and under ...

Appropriate Communal Open Spaces: Principle 6

Yves Pedrazzini, Lesslie Astrid Herrera Quiroz

Principle 6 stresses that an appropriate proportion, number, organization and equitable distribution of Communal Open Spaces are essential for the sustainability of any settlement on the long-term, and should consider cultural, social and environmental asp ...

Understanding intergenerational fitness tracking practices: 12 suggestions for design

Pearl Pu Faltings

The paper presents a qualitative study to explore the use of fitness trackers and their social functions in intergenerational settings. The study covered three phases of semi-structured interviews with older and younger adults during individual and interge ...

Evaluating the predictive abilities of mixed logit models with unobserved inter- and intra-individual heterogeneity

Michel Bierlaire, Prateek Bansal

Mixed logit models with unobserved inter-and intra-individual heterogeneity hierarchically extend standard mixed logit models by allowing tastes to vary randomly both across individuals and across choice situations encountered by the same individual. Recen ...

Core-Selecting Mechanisms in Electricity Markets

Maryam Kamgarpour, Orcun Karaca

Due to its theoretical virtues, several recent works propose the use of the incentive-compatible Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism for electricity markets. Coalitions of participants, however, can influence the VCG outcome to obtain higher collective u ...

On the usefulness of mixed logit models with unobserved inter-and intra-individual heterogeneity

Michel Bierlaire, Prateek Bansal

Mixed logit models with unobserved inter- and intra-individual heterogeneity hierarchically extend standard mixed logit models by allowing tastes to vary randomly both across individuals as well as across choice tasks encountered by the same individual. Re ...

Designing Coalition-Proof Reverse Auctions Over Continuous Goods

Maryam Kamgarpour, Orcun Karaca

This paper investigates reverse auctions that involve continuous values of different types of goods, general nonconvex constraints, and second stage costs. We seek to design the payment rules and conditions under which coalitions of participants cannot inf ...

Bounding Inefficiency of Equilibria in Continuous Actions Games using Submodularity and Curvature

Maryam Kamgarpour, Andreas Krause

Games with continuous strategy sets arise in several machine learning problems (e.g. adversarial learning). For such games, simple no-regret learning algorithms exist in several cases and ensure convergence to coarse correlated equilibria (CCE). The effic ...
