This paper presents a novel activity-based demand model that combines an optimisation framework for continuous temporal scheduling decisions (i.e. activity timings and durations) with traditional discrete choice models for non-temporal choice dimensions (i ...

Overcoming decision paralysis—A digital twin for decision making in energy system design

François Maréchal, Tuong-Van Nguyen, Julia Granacher

The design of efficient energy systems, through the development of new technologies and the improvement of current ones, requires the use of rigorous process synthesis methods for generating and analysing design alternatives. We introduce a digital twin of ...

Multi-armed Bandits in Action

Farnood Salehi

Making decisions is part and parcel of being human. Among a set of actions, we want to choose the one that has the highest reward. But the uncertainty of the outcome prevents us from always making the right decision. Making decisions under uncertainty can ...

In Alan Westin's generally accepted definition of privacy, he describes it as an individual's right 'to control, edit, manage, and delete information about them[selves] and decide when, how, and to what extent information is communicated to others.' There ...

Exploring the diversity of social preferences: Is a heterogeneous population evolutionarily stable under assortative matching?

Boris Thurm, Charles Chadi Ayoubi

Why do individuals make different decisions when confronted with similar choices? This paper investigates whether the answer lies in an evolutionary process. Our analysis builds on recent work in evolutionary game theory showing the superiority of a given ...

Medialab stories: how to align actor network theory and digital methods

Dominique Georges Léon Boullier

The history of laboratories may become controversial in social sciences. In this paper, the story of Sciences Po Médialab told by Venturini et al. is discussed and completed by demonstrating the incoherence in the choice of digital methods at the Médialab ...

Caching of Bivariate Gaussians with Non-Uniform Preference Probabilities

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Guillaume Jean Op 't Veld

Caching is technique that alleviates networks during peak hours by transmitting partial information before a request for any is made. We study this method in a lossy source coding setting with Gaussian databases. A good caching strategy minimizes the data ...

Recent studies have shown that a population acting not only upon self-interest but also exhibiting some morality preference has an evolutionary advantage. Specifically, in the setting of a symmetric fitness game, a resident population is evolutionary stabl ...
