50 years of behavioral models for transportation and logistics

Fifty years ago, transportation and logistics problems were primarily analyzed either from a supply-side or a demand-side perspective, with the fields of operations research and demand modeling evolving separately. Since then, there has been a growing inte ...

How Words Move Hearts: Interpretable Machine Learning Models of Bias, Engagement, and Influence in Socio-Political Systems

Aswin Suresh

We study socio-political systems in representative democracies. Motivated by problems that affect the proper functioning of the system, we build computational methods to answer research questions regarding the phenomena occurring in them. For each phenomen ...

A data fusion approach for ride-sourcing demand estimation: A discrete choice model with sampling and endogeneity corrections

Michel Bierlaire, Prateek Bansal

Ride-sourcing services offered by companies like Uber and Didi have grown rapidly in the last decade. Understanding the demand for these services is essential for planning and managing modern transportation systems. Existing studies develop statistical mod ...

GCC Countries Strategic Options in a Global Transition to Zero-Net Emissions

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie

Using a multi-level perspective approach combined with top-down macroeconomic models, we analyze the situation of the GCC countries in the perspective of a global transition to zero-net emissions before the end of the century. Based on these analyses, we p ...

Stochastic adaptive resampling for the estimation of discrete choice models

Michel Bierlaire, Nicola Marco Ortelli, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent

In the field of choice modeling, the availability of ever-larger datasets has the potential to significantly expand our understanding of human behavior, but this prospect is limited by the poor scalability of discrete choice models (DCMs): as sample sizes ...

Composite Relationship Fields with Transformers for Scene Graph Generation

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, David Mizrahi, George Adaimi

Scene graph generation (SGG) methods extract relationships between objects. While most methods focus on improving top-down approaches, which build a scene graph based on detected objects from an off-the-shelf object detector, there is a limited amount of w ...

THE PHASE TRANSITION FOR PLANAR GAUSSIAN PERCOLATION MODELS WITHOUT FKG

Alejandro Rivera

We develop techniques to study the phase transition for planar Gaussian percolation models that are not (necessarily) positively correlated. These models lack the property of positive associations (also known as the 'FKG inequality'), and hence many classi ...

Networks with correlated edge processes

Sofia Charlotta Olhede, Mária Süveges

This article proposes methods to model non-stationary temporal graph processes motivated by a hospital interaction data set. This corresponds to modelling the observation of edge variables indicating interactions between pairs of nodes exhibiting dependenc ...

Sampling of alternatives in migration aspiration models

Michel Bierlaire, Evangelos Paschalidis

The use of discrete choice models (DCMs) is a regular approach to investigating migration aspirations concerning destination choices. However, given the complex substitution patterns between destinations, more advanced model specifications than the multino ...
