Weak teachers: assisted specification of discrete choice models using ensemble learning algorithms
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 ...
2019A disaggregate choice-based approach to find epsilon-equilibria of oligopolistic markets
Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Stefano Bortolomiol
We present a general framework to find epsilon-equilibrium solutions of oligopolistic markets in which demand is modeled at the disaggregate level using discrete choice models. Consumer choices are modeled according to random utility theory, and the choice ...
2019A Predictive Model for User Motivation and Utility Implications of Privacy-Protection Mechanisms in Location Check-Ins
Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Igor Bilogrevic, Reza Shokri, Italo Ivan Dacosta Petrocelli, Joana Catarina Soares Machado, Stefan Mihaila
Location check-ins contain both geographical and semantic information about the visited venues. Semantic information is usually represented by means of tags (e.g., “restaurant”). Such data can reveal some personal information about users beyond what they a ...
2018SmarPer: Context-Aware and Automatic Runtime-Permissions for Mobile Devices
Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Italo Ivan Dacosta Petrocelli, Mohammad Emtiyaz Khan, Joana Catarina Soares Machado, Katarzyna Lucja Olejnik
Permission systems are the main defense that mobile platforms, such as Android and iOS, offer to users to protect their private data from prying apps. However, due to the tension between usability and control, such systems have several limitations that oft ...
IEEE2017A Robust Resolution of Newcomb's Paradox
Newcomb's problem is viewed as a dynamic game with an agent and a superior being as players. Depending on whether or not a risk-neutral agent's confidence in the superior being, as measured by a subjective probability assigned to the move order, exceeds a ...
2016A new mathematical formulation to integrate supply and demand within a choice-based optimization framework
Michel Bierlaire, Shadi Sharif Azadeh, Meritxell Pacheco Paneque
Discrete choice models are the state-of-the-art for the mathematical modeling of demand. Based on the concept of random utility, they are able to predict the choice behavior of individuals. However, these models are highly non linear and non convex in the ...
2016A Non-Parametric Approach to Demand Forecasting in Revenue Management
In revenue management, the profitability of the inventory and pricing decisions rests on the accuracy of demand forecasts. However, whenever a product is no longer available, true demand may differ from registered bookings, thus inducing a negative bias in ...
2015Predicting Users' Motivations behind Location Check-Ins and Utility Implications of Privacy Protection Mechanisms
Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Igor Bilogrevic, Reza Shokri, Stefan Mihaila
Location check-ins contain both geographical and semantic information about the visited venues, in the form of tags (e.g., “restaurant”). Such data might reveal some personal information about users beyond what they actually want to disclose, hence their p ...
2015Value of Integration in Database and Service Domains
The paper discusses the concept of value of integration in two apparently distant research domains, database and service domains. In the area of virtual database integration, we address the problem of increased utility in an organization resulting from ado ...
IEEE2014Utility Metrics Specifications. OpenIoT Deliverable D422
Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez, Mehdi Riahi
This deliverable specifies the utility metrics that are considered and used in the scope of the OpenIoT project. These utility metrics are recorded as part of the implementation of the Utility Manager component of the OpenIoT platform, while they have also ...
