Relatively robust decisions

It is natural for humans to judge the outcome of a decision under uncertainty as a percentage of an ex-post optimal performance. We propose a robust decision-making framework based on a relative performance index. It is shown that if the decision maker's p ...

Some first results on the consistency of spatial regression with partial differential equation regularization

Fabio Nobile, Eleonora Arnone

We study the consistency of the estimator in spatial regression with partial differential equa-tion (PDE) regularization. This new smoothing technique allows to accurately estimate spatial fields over complex two-dimensional domains, starting from noisy ob ...

From Massive Parallelization to Quantum Computing: Seven Novel Approaches to Query Optimization

Immanuel Trummer

The goal of query optimization is to map a declarative query (describing data to generate) to a query plan (describing how to generate the data) with optimal execution cost. Query optimization is required to support declarative query interfaces. It is a co ...

A Situated and Embodied Approach to Service-oriented Modeling

Anshuman Bahadur Saxena

[Context] As opposed to the traditional approach to problem solving, which limits the scope of the solution to the stated problem, the mandate for services is to go deeper and focus on the value that the proposed solution creates for the entities affected ...

Risk, Unexpected Uncertainty, and Estimation Uncertainty: Bayesian Learning in Unstable Settings

Recently, evidence has emerged that humans approach learning using Bayesian updating rather than (model-free) reinforcement algorithms in a six-arm restless bandit problem. Here, we investigate what this implies for human appreciation of uncertainty. In ou ...

Of Malicious Motes and Suspicious Sensors

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert

How efficiently can a malicious device disrupt communication in a wireless network? Imagine a basic game involving two honest players, Alice and Bob, who want to exchange information, and an adversary, Collin, who can disrupt communication using a limited ...

Design and control of asymmetrical multi-level inverters

Alfred Rufer

This paper deals with asymmetrical multi-level inverters. The investigated topologies consist of series connected cells with different input voltages. Some combinations of different input voltages have been proposed to improve the converter resolution. Thi ...
