Data-Driven Behaviour Estimation in Parametric Games

A central question in multi-agent strategic games deals with learning the underlying utilities driving the agents' behaviour. Motivated by the increasing availability of large data-sets, we develop an unifying data-driven technique to estimate agents' util ...

(In)visible reuse: Retrofit and refurbishment practices in the home

Ankita Singhvi

The construction sector is the world's largest consumer of raw materials, and emissions from housing and construction contribute to approximately 40% of all annual global carbon dioxide emissions. With cities racing to meet their climate targets, there is ...

Heterogeneity in decentralized asset markets

Julien Hugonnier

We study a canonical model of decentralized exchange for a durable good or asset, where agents are assumed to have time-varying, heterogeneous utility types. Whereas the existing literature has focused on the special case of two types, we allow agents' uti ...

Integrating advanced discrete choice models in mixed integer linear optimization

Michel Bierlaire, Bernard Gendron

In many transportation systems, a mismatch between the associated design and planning decisions and the demand is typically encountered. A tailored system is not only appealing to operators, which could have a better knowledge of their operational costs, b ...

Weak teachers: assisted specification of discrete choice models using ensemble learning algorithms

Timothy Michael Hillel

Discrete Choice Models (DCMs) have a distinct advantage over Machine Learning (ML) classification algorithms, in that they employ a highly interpretable linear structure. However, a key drawback of DCMs compared to ML is the need to specify the utility fun ...

Scheduling trips through a bottleneck: monotonicity and stability

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

This paper investigates the stability of departure time choice within a population of commuters that need to pass through a bottleneck of constant capacity. It is shown that the corresponding utility function is monotonic if and only if the marginal utilit ...

Environmental Flows Determination and Monitoring with Hydraulic Habitat Models-Pushing the Boundaries of Habitat Models Application

Mikolaj Stanislaw Adamczyk, Piotr Parasiewicz

Hydraulic habitat simulation models were designed for the quantitative determination of environmental flows that consider the needs of aquatic fauna in rivers and streams. In the past 50 years, the modeling techniques were significantly developed, but expe ...

A Lagrangian relaxation technique for the demand-based benefit maximization problem

Michel Bierlaire, Shadi Sharif Azadeh, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Meritxell Pacheco Paneque, Bernard Gendron

The integration of discrete choice models in Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models provides a better understanding of the preferences of the customers to the operators while planning for their systems. However, the formulations associated with ch ...

Synthesis of single and interplant non-isothermal water networks

François Maréchal, Maziar Kermani

This paper addresses the synthesis problem of non-isothermal water networks using a mathematical programming approach. A heat-integrated water network superstructure and its corresponding mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is proposed for th ...

Acute stress alters individual risk taking in a time-dependent manner and leads to anti-social risk

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Samuel Bendahan, Fiona Hollis, Leyla Loued-Khenissi, John Christian Thoresen, Lorenz Goette

Decision-making processes can be modulated by stress, and the time elapsed from stress induction seems to be a crucial factor in determining the direction of the effects. Although current approaches consider the ﬁrst post-stress hour a uniform period, the ...
