Influence of façade details on early design decisions regarding daylight performance of neighborhoods

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Minu Agarwal

Neighborhood form and building facade design are key drivers of indoor daylight performance. Architectural design at the neighborhood scale starts with massing scheme proposals and other design specifications including façade design are typically enriched ...

Decision Rule Bounds for Two-Stage Stochastic Bilevel Programs

Daniel Kuhn

We study stochastic bilevel programs where the leader chooses a binary here-and-now decision and the follower responds with a continuous wait-and-see-decision. Using modern decision rule approximations, we construct lower bounds on an optimistic version an ...

One-shot learning and eligibility traces in sequential decision making

Marco Philipp Lehmann

When humans or animals perform an action that led to a desired outcome, they show a tendency to repeat it. The mechanisms underlying learning from past experience and adapting future behavior are still not fully understood. In this thesis, I study how huma ...

Belief as a Wise Wager

Leyla Loued-Khenissi

From the moment we wake up in the morning to the day's ebb when we settle in to sleep, we are bound to the task of decision-making. Some of these decisions barely register in our consciousness, if at all, while others, less shy, take a more prominent place ...

Information-gap decision theory (IGDT): a new promising method for management of uncertainties in hydropower projects: case study

Anton Schleiss, Felix Oberrauch

The design of hydropower is determined by estimates and long-term forecasts. These forecasts and estimates are highly uncertain and make performance evaluation and design choices challenging. Effective values deviating from the estimates can have a signifi ...

Behavioural, modeling, and electrophysiological evidence for supramodality in human metacognition

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre

Human metacognition, or the capacity to introspect on one's own mental states, has been mostly characterized through confidence reports in visual tasks. A pressing question is to what extent results from visual studies generalize to other domains. Answerin ...

Time course of prediction errors in sequential decision making

Michael Herzog, He Xu

In reinforcement learning, an agent makes sequential decisions to maximize reward. During learning, the actual and expected outcome are compared to tell whether a decision was good or bad. The difference between the actual outcome and expected outcome is t ...

Sensitivity To Perceived Mutual Understanding In Human-Robot Collaborations

Pierre Dillenbourg, Alexis David Jacq, Ana Paiva

In order to collaborate with humans, robots are often provided with a Theory of Mind (ToM) architecture. Such architectures can be evaluated by humans perception of the robot's adaptations. However, humans sensitivities to these adaptations are not the one ...

Distributed Transactions: Dissecting the Nightmare

Rachid Guerraoui, Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona, Junxiong Wang

Many distributed storage systems are transactional and a lot of work has been devoted to optimizing their performance, especially the performance of read-only transactions that are considered the most frequent in practice. Yet, the results obtained so far ...
