description: Tensor factorization with hard and/or soft constraints has played an important role in signal processing and data analysis. However, existing algorithms for constrained tensor factorization have two drawbacks: (i) they require matrix-inversion; and (ii) they cannot (or at least is very difficult to) handle structured regularizations. We propose a new tensor factorization algorithm that circumvents these drawbacks. The proposed method is built upon alternating optimization, and each subproblem is solved by a primal-dual splitting algorithm, yielding an efficient and flexible algorithmic framework to constrained tensor factorization. The advantages of the proposed method over a state-of-the-art constrained tensor factorization algorithm, called AO-ADMM, are demonstrated on regularized nonnegative tensor factorization.

description: Person re-identification is the task of recognizing or identifying a person across multiple views in multi-camera networks. Although there has been much progress in person re-identification, person re-identification in large-scale multi-camera networks still remains a challenging task because of the large spatio-temporal uncertainty and high complexity due to a large number of cameras and people. To handle these difficulties, additional information such as camera network topology should be provided, which is also difficult to automatically estimate, unfortunately. In this study, we propose a unified framework which jointly solves both person re-identification and camera network topology inference problems with minimal prior knowledge about the environments. The proposed framework takes general multi-camera network environments into account and can be applied to online person re-identification in large-scale multi-camera networks. In addition, to effectively show the superiority of the proposed framework, we provide a new person re-identification dataset with full annotations, named SLP, captured in the multi-camera network consisting of nine non-overlapping cameras. Experimental results using our person re-identification and public datasets show that the proposed methods are promising for both person re-identification and camera topology inference tasks.

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: In this paper, we propose a novel distance-based camera network topology inference method for efficient person re-identification. To this end, we first calibrate each camera and estimate relative scales between cameras. Using the calibration results of multiple cameras, we calculate the speed of each person and infer the distance between cameras to generate distance-based camera network topology. The proposed distance-based topology can be applied adaptively to each person according to its speed and handle diverse transition time of people between non-overlapping cameras. To validate the proposed method, we tested the proposed method using an open person re-identification dataset and compared to state-of-the-art methods. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective for person re-identification in the large-scale camera network with various people transition time.

description: A $p$-jump process is a piecewise deterministic Markov process with jumps by a factor of $p$. We prove a limit theorem for such processes on the unit interval. Via duality with respect to probability generating functions, we deduce limiting results for the survival probabilities of time-homogeneous branching processes with arbitrary offspring distributions, underlying binomial disasters. Extending this method, we obtain corresponding results for time-inhomogeneous birth-death processes underlying time-dependent binomial disasters and continuous state branching processes with $p$-jumps.

description: The tensor rank decomposition, or canonical polyadic decomposition, is the decomposition of a tensor into a sum of rank-1 tensors. The condition number of the tensor rank decomposition measures the sensitivity of the rank-1 summands with respect to structured perturbations. Those are perturbations preserving the rank of the tensor that is decomposed. On the other hand, the angular condition number measures the perturbations of the rank-1 summands up to scaling.
 We show for random rank-2 tensors that the expected value of the condition number is infinite for a wide range of choices of the density. Under a mild additional assumption, we show that the same is true for most higher ranks $r\geq 3$ as well. In fact, as the dimensions of the tensor tend to infinity, asymptotically all ranks are covered by our analysis. On the contrary, we show that rank-2 tensors have finite expected angular condition number. Based on numerical experiments, we conjecture that this could also be true for higher ranks.
 Our results underline the high computational complexity of computing tensor rank decompositions. We discuss consequences of our results for algorithm design and for testing algorithms computing tensor rank decompositions.

description: Polyhedral products were defined by Bahri, Bendersky, Cohen and Gitler, to be spaces obtained as unions of certain product spaces indexed by the simplices of an abstract simplicial complex. In this paper we give a very general homotopy theoretic construction of polyhedral products over arbitrary pointed posets. We show that under certain restrictions on the poset $\calp$, that include all known cases, the cohomology of the resulting spaces can be computed as an inverse limit over $\calp$ of the cohomology of the building blocks. This motivates the definition of an analogous algebraic construction - the polyhedral tensor product. We show that for a large family of posets, the cohomology of the polyhedral product is given by the polyhedral tensor product. We then restrict attention to polyhedral posets, a family of posets that include face posets of simplicial complexes, and simplicial posets, as well as many others. We define the Stanley-Reisner ring of a polyhedral poset and show that, like in the classical cases, these rings occur as the cohomology of certain polyhedral products over the poset in question. For any pointed poset $\calp$ we construct a simplicial poset $s(\calp)$, and show that if $\calp$ is a polyhedral poset then polyhedral products over $\calp$ coincide up to homotopy with the corresponding polyhedral products over $s(\calp)$.

Evaluating the effectiveness of the Healthiest Babies Possible dental program
Creators: name: Lin, Diana Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Objectives: A community dental public health program in Vancouver has been providing clinical hygiene services and oral health counseling to a limited number of high-risk, low income pregnant women for over 20 years. To enable future program decision-making, a program evaluation was undertaken with the following objectives: 1) to describe program, clients, and their oral health needs; 2) to determine whether program activities have been implemented as intended; and 3) to assess program's effectiveness in improving oral health status of clients and in improving their knowledge and behavior in relation to their own health and those of their children. Methods: The evaluation, undertaken by the resident dental hygienist, had two phases. Phase 1: Evaluability assessment, descriptive and process evaluation (retrospective and concurrent chart reviews, semi-structured interviews, appointment monitoring, and field observations). Phase 2: A short- and medium-term outcome evaluation with a convenience sample who attended over a 1-year period. Data, collected by questionnaires, interviews, clinical indices, chart review, field observations, and appointment statistics, was analyzed with a combination of univariate and bivariate analyses. Results: Phase 1: Stakeholders' goals were identified; a logic model and organizational flowchart were developed. Chart review (N=123) revealed mean client age of 27 years; 28% Canadian-born; 48% had other children; 78% were concerned about "bleeding gums"; and 63% had visible tooth decay. 28% of women referred to the program never attended. Unfamiliarity of clients with the dental "experience", language barriers, and clinic operation and time restraints affected implementation of program's activities. Phase 2: Outcomes in clients (N=61) demonstrated significant improvements (P<0.05) in clinical indices, oral health knowledge and tooth brushing skills, and dental care for clients' children. A positive program experience was reported from all the women. However, 79% (48/61) of clients never obtained the "outside" dental services that they needed. Conclusions: Evaluation revealed positive changes, extending into the postnatal period in knowledge, behaviors and clinical outcomes despite language barriers, insufficient resources, and ill-defined program goals. Identified program limitations need to be addressed to further improve outcomes of this promising intervention. Research was partially supported by a grant from the British Columbia Dental Hygienists Association.

Subjects: subject: 300 Sozialwissenschaften

description: Due to rising costs and competitive pressure, successful price enforcements and margin im-provements are increasingly challenging for companies. Therefore, this paper is the first to research the decoy effect and de-contenting, two effects from the field of pricing, in combina-tion, to address these challenges. The primary aim of this work is to successfully combine the phenomena in the GSA-region with electronic services from VoD-providers and to derive prac-tical findings from this. The central questions are: Can the decoy effect be proven in the GSA-region? What is the interplay between the decoy effect and de-contenting in relation to strate-gic pricing? What practical findings can be derived from this? The research is conducted quantitatively in the form of a fully structured online survey using a convenience sample. The design of the stimuli is based on the offer of the VoD-provider Netflix and partly on the study by Huber et al. (1982). A total of 385 questionnaire responses are considered for the statistical analysis. The result shows that the decoy effect can successfully be demonstrated in the GSA-region. Despite the demonstrated price sensitivity of respondents, it is possible to in-crease the choice frequency of the more expensive option by up to 23% by combining the phenomena. At the same time, the selection rate of the competition is reduced. Simulations combining the research data with real company metrics also reveal a potential increase in sales and profits of 3-8%. These results show that the combined application of the effects is recommended to simultaneously enable cost reductions and profit increases. In summary, this study provides the first insights into the combination of the decoy effect and de-contenting and provides practical application examples as well as approaches for further research.
The partial duplication random graph with edge deletion

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: We study a random graph model in continuous time. Each vertex is partially copied with the same rate, i.e.\ an existing vertex is copied and every edge leading to the copied vertex is copied with independent probability $p$. In addition, every edge is deleted at constant rate, a mechanism which extends previous partial duplication models. In this model, we obtain results on the degree distribution, which shows a phase transition such that either -- if $p$ is small enough -- the frequency of isolated vertices converges to 1, or there is a positive fraction of vertices with unbounded degree. We derive results on the degrees of the initial vertices as well as on the sub-graph of non-isolated vertices. In particular, we obtain expressions for the number of star-like subgraphs and cliques.

description: Computer experiments are becoming increasingly important in scientific investigations. In the presence of uncertainty, analysts employ probabilistic sensitivity methods to identify the key-drivers of change in the quantities of interest. Simulation complexity, large dimensionality and long running times may force analysts to make statistical inference at small sample sizes. Methods designed to estimate probabilistic sensitivity measures at relatively low computational costs are attracting increasing interest. We propose a fully Bayesian approach to the estimation of probabilistic sensitivity measures based on a one-sample design. We discuss, first, new estimators based on placing piecewise constant priors on the conditional distributions of the output given each input, by partitioning the input space. We then present two alternatives, based on Bayesian non-parametric density estimation, which bypass the need for predefined partitions. In all cases, the Bayesian paradigm guarantees the quantification of uncertainty in the estimation process through the posterior distribution over the sensitivity measures, without requiring additional simulator evaluations. The performance of the proposed methods is compared to that of traditional point estimators in a series of numerical experiments comprising synthetic but challenging simulators, as well as a realistic application. $\textit{An Updated Version of the Manuscript is Forthcoming in Statistics and Computing.}$

The Struggle Over Diet Trends and Women's Nutrition in the United States

Diet trend

Women's nutrition
Hughes Award 2024 Finalist

description: How have women in the U.S. promoted, resisted, and otherwise responded to diet trends on social media? Fad diets have been present for decades, and are generally targeted towards women. Many women in the early 2000s were encouraged to try fad diets due to the diet culture that heavily promoted the thin ideal, and produced societal norms that are still common today.
As social media has developed, it has become a new way to share diets and lifestyle habits. Women are more likely than men to use social media, especially image-based platforms such as Pinterest and Instagram, so they are more likely to be exposed to potentially harmful diet content. This issue is especially concerning for adolescent females, who are more susceptible to peer influences and social norms shared over social media. Body image concerns are extremely common among this group, which can be worsened by high exposure to diet media. The top risk factor for being diagnosed with an eating disorder is being an adolescent female. Frequent dieting or diet changes are additional risk factors for developing an eating disorder. Eating disorders can have severe outcomes, such as strain on social relationships, lasting health issues, and risk of death. Many women’s posts regarding fad diets online are negative; some actively counteract harmful narratives from dieting communities, while others bring awareness to the issue. Numerous diet companies utilize social media influencers to market their products, although it is not always obvious that something is being advertised. Common diet products include supplements, diet pills, detox teas and superfood powders. These are generally not regulated by the FDA and not sustainable methods of weight management long-term. Dietitians have also begun sharing advice online, improving accessibility to correct and helpful information.

Symmetry multi-reduction method for partial differential equations with conservation laws

Year: 2019

description: For partial differential equations (PDEs) that have $n\geq2$ independent variables and a symmetry algebra of dimension at least $n-1$, an explicit algorithmic method is presented for finding all symmetry-invariant conservation laws that will reduce to first integrals for the ordinary differential equation (ODE) describing symmetry-invariant solutions of the PDE. This significantly generalizes the double reduction method known in the literature. Moreover, the condition of symmetry-invariance of a conservation law is formulated in an improved way by using multipliers, thereby allowing symmetry-invariant conservation laws to be obtained directly, without the need to first find conservation laws and then check their invariance. This cuts down considerably the number and complexity of computational steps involved in the reduction method. If the space of symmetry-invariant conservation laws has dimension $m\geq 1$, then the method yields $m$ first integrals along with a check of which ones are non-trivial via their multipliers. Several examples of interesting symmetry reductions are considered: travelling waves and similarity solutions in $1+1$ dimensions; line travelling waves, line similarity solutions, and similarity travelling waves in $2+1$ dimensions; rotationally symmetric similarity solutions in $n+1$ dimensions. In addition, examples of nonlinear PDEs for which the method yields the explicit general solution for symmetry-invariant solutions are shown.

An evaluation of the value of security in the international marine supply chain
Creators: name: Loke, Wai Leng
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Since the events of 9/11, there has been tremendous amount of renewed interests in the study of trade security. There has been an influx of security regulations and the private sector has been trying to keep pace in complying with them. However, due to the public externalities of security improvements and the lack of quantified and proven benefits, the private sector is struggling to establish business cases for their security initiatives. There is very little quantitative research in this area. Using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM), this study serves to fill this gap by introducing a statistical way of analysing and understanding the complex relationships amongst security effort, its motivators and performance and traditional supply chain performance (SCP). This study also proposes an evaluation framework for security efforts. EFA results show that security is a dimension of SCP. This means that organizations have all along been measuring an aspect of their operations that relates to security. As such, organizations should not perceive the current heightened interests in security as throwing them off-balance. In evaluating security efforts, organizations should select key performance indicators (KPIs) that represent each of the four areas of information, cargo, people and cost. SEM results show that organizations undertake security efforts as a result of both perceived security benefits and perceived collateral benefits, with perceived security benefits carrying a greater weight in the decision-making process. Results also show that organizations are implementing security initiatives out-of-compliance i.e. implementing initiatives that they perceive as not having significant impacts on security and SCP. In view of the positive relationships among perceived security impact, security effort and security performance, there is further imperative for an objective method for evaluating security efforts to prevent effort justification behaviour in determining the effectiveness of the same. Results also show that organizations perceive an improved performance in security leads to an overall improvement in SCP. However, as with other supply chain strategies, there are tradeoffs and not all aspects of SCP are impacted in the same way. Time, responsiveness and efficiency for instance are negatively impacted while reliability is positively impacted.
Teaching Physical Archival Research in the Digital Age

description: Over the past five years I have had the opportunity to advise dozens of short archival research projects using the collection of the Musiksammlung at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, Austria, the primary archive where I completed my CLIR Mellon Fellowship. Despite the prevalence of freely available digital archival materials, when confronted with original sources such as manuscripts in a well-known composer’s hand, medieval sacred chant books, or annotations filling the margins of étude books, students have expressed excitement and engagement that goes far beyond anything that occurs in a traditional classroom, or while examining digital documents.

In this essay I offer some suggestions on working with college students on archival projects, as well as speculations on the benefits of encouraging active use of physical archives by modern students. Students who live vast portions of their lives online can benefit as much as, if not more than, earlier generations by studying physical archival documents. Encounters with original sources can increase comprehension, excitement, and creativity for students longing for educational experiences that create a feeling of authenticity.

Smooth Solutions of the tt* Equation: A Numerical Aided Case Study

description: An important special class of the tt* equations are the tt*-Toda equations. Guest et al. have given comprehensive studies on the tt*-Toda equations in a series of papers. The fine asymptotics for a large class of solutions of a special tt*-Toda equation, the case 4a in their classification, have been obtained in the paper [Comm. Math. Phys. 374 (2020), 923-973] in the series. Most of these formulas are obtained with elaborate reasoning and the calculations involved are lengthy. There are concerns about these formulas if they have not been verified by other methods. The first part of this paper is devoted to the numerical verification of these fine asymptotics. In fact, the numerical studies can do more and should do more. A natural question is whether we can find more such beautiful formulas in the tt* equation via numerical study. The second part of this paper is devoted to the numerical study of the fine asymptotics of the solutions in an enlarged class defined from the Stoke data side. All the fine asymptotics of the solutions in the enlarged class are found by the numerical study. The success of the numerical study is largely due to the truncation structures of the tt* equation.
Generalizable prediction of academic performance from short texts on social media

description: It has already been established that digital traces can be used to predict various human attributes. In most cases, however, predictive models rely on features that are specific to a particular source of digital trace data. In contrast, short texts written by users $-$ tweets, posts, or comments $-$ are ubiquitous across multiple platforms. In this paper, we explore the predictive power of short texts with respect to the academic performance of their authors. We use data from a representative panel of Russian students that includes information about their educational outcomes and activity on a popular networking site, VK. We build a model to predict academic performance from users' posts on VK and then apply it to a different context. In particular, we show that the model could reproduce rankings of schools and universities from the posts of their students on social media. We also find that the same model could predict academic performance from tweets as well as from VK posts. The generalizability of a model trained on a relatively small data set could be explained by the use of continuous word representations trained on a much larger corpus of social media posts. This also allows for greater interpretability of model predictions.

description: In the present paper, we introduce and investigate various types of harmonic Finsler manifolds and find out the interrelation between them. We give some characterizations of such spaces in terms of the mean curvature of geodesic spheres and the Laplacian of the distance function induced by the Finsler structure. We investigate some properties of the Finsler mean curvature of geodesic spheres of different radii. In addition, we prove that certain harmonic Finsler manifolds are of Einstein type and provide a technique to construct harmonic Finsler manifolds of Randers type. Moreover, we give some examples of non-Riemmanian Finsler harmonic manifolds of constant flag curvature and constant $S$-curvature.

Quota-based debiasing can decrease representation of already underrepresented groups

description: Many important decisions in societies such as school admissions, hiring, or elections are based on the selection of top-ranking individuals from a larger pool of candidates. This process is often subject to biases, which typically manifest as an under-representation of certain groups among the selected or accepted individuals. The most common approach to this issue is debiasing, for example via the introduction of quotas that ensure proportional representation of groups with respect to a certain, often binary attribute. Cases include quotas for women on corporate boards or ethnic quotas in elections. This, however, has the potential to induce changes in representation with respect to other attributes. For the case of two correlated binary attributes we show that quota-based debiasing based on a single attribute can worsen the representation of already underrepresented groups and decrease overall fairness of selection. We use several data sets from a broad range of domains from recidivism risk assessments to scientific citations to assess this effect in real-world settings. Our results demonstrate the importance of including all relevant attributes in debiasing procedures and that more efforts need to be put into eliminating the root causes of inequalities as purely numerical solutions such as quota-based debiasing might lead to unintended consequences.
