title: Relational learning for set value functions
Creators: name: Wang, Yiliu
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2022

description: Relational learning is learning in a context where we have a set of items with relationships. For example, in a recommender system or advertising platform, items are grouped into lists to attract user attention, and some items may be more popular than others. We are often interested in learning individual abilities, approximating group performances and making best set selection. However, it could be challenging as we have limited feedback and various uncertainties. We might only observe noisy aggregate feedback at the set level (set level randomness), and each item could be a random variable following some distributions (item level randomness). To tackle the problem, we model the group performance using a set value function, defined as a function of item values within the group of interest. We first study the beta model for hypergraphs. The model treats relational data as hypergraphs where nodes represent items and hyper-edges group items into sets. The goal is to estimate individual beta values from the group outcomes. We study the inference problem under different settings using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). We move on to consider more general set value functions and the second source of randomness at the item level. The goal is to find good item representations (sketches) for approximation of stochastic valuation functions, defined as the expectation of set value functions of independent random variables. We present an approximation everywhere guarantee for a wide range of stochastic valuation functions. Finally, we study an online variant where an agent can draw samples sequentially. At each time step, the agent chooses a group of items subject to constraints and receives some form of feedbacks. The goal is to select a set of items with maximum performances according to some stochastic valuation functions. We consider the regret minimization setting and address the problem under value-index feedback.

description: The continuous digitalization affects private and professional lives alike, providing new chances but also threats for companies, consumers, and society. Particularly data privacy and security risks remain central for consumers. In this evolving setting, the concept of Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR) gains traction. CDR provides a framework for the responsible application of digital technologies, thereby putting, inter alia, data privacy and security in a larger context. A remarkable amount of prior Information Systems (IS) research can be linked to facets of the concept of CDR. Hence, this study pursues the goal to evaluate the comprehensiveness of current research in IS, also guiding future research efforts. To address this goal, this study grounds on a scoping review to evaluate previous popularity in IS research. The results illustrate a need for a more comprehensive view on data privacy and security in the larger context of CDR in the IS discipline.

description: The subject of this thesis is a minimax optimal study of statistical inference, with a focus on hypothesis testing. This will give us the opportunity of reviewing tools and ideas from the literature of estimation and testing of discrete and continuous distributions. In the course of our analysis, we will explore several extensions of classical minimax statistical problems. The first one is a local refinement of the minimax framework and we will contribute by obtaining local minimax optimal rates for closeness testing. The second is the study of minimax optimal methods while preserving the privacy of data sets. Our contribution in that area will be minimax rates for identity testing under local differential privacy. Finally, we extend the scope of our study to a sequential setting, where we will employ techniques from bandit theory in order to obtain the first minimax rate for adaptive rejection sampling.
description: Gegenstand dieser Dissertation ist die Untersuchung inferenzstatistischer Methoden - insbesondere von Hypothesentests - auf Minimax-Optimalität. Wir werden Ideen und Techniken untersuchen, die bereits in der Literatur zum Schätzen und Testen für diskrete oder auch stetige Verteilungen vorhanden sind. Im Verlauf unserer Analyse werden wir verschiedene Erweiterungen klassischer statistischer Minimax-Probleme untersuchen. Die Erste ist eine lokale Verfeinerung des Minimax-Frameworks und wir zeigen neue lokale Minimax-optimale Raten für Closeness Testing. Die Zweite ist die Untersuchung der optimalen Minimax-Methoden unter Wahrung der Privacy von Datensätzen. Unser Beitrag in diesem Bereich sind Minimax-Raten für Anpassungstests unter lokaler differenzieller Privatsphäre. Anschließend erweitern wir unsere Resultate auf eine sequentielle Umgebung, wobei wir Techniken aus der Banditentheorie anwenden, um erstmalig eine Minimax-Rate für eine solche adaptive Testmethode zu erhalten - bisher gab es in der Literatur keine Resultate dafür.

description: Background: Time-reversal-invariance violation, or equivalently CP violation, may explain the observed cosmological baryon asymmetry as well as signal physics beyond the Standard Model. In the decay of polarized neutrons, the triple correlation D\cdot(p_{e}\timesp_ν) is a parity-even, time-reversal- odd observable that is uniquely sensitive to the relative phase of the axial-vector amplitude with respect to the vector amplitude. The triple correlation is also sensitive to possible contributions from scalar and tensor amplitudes. Final-state effects also contribute to D at the level of 1e-5 and can be calculated with a precision of 1% or better. Purpose: We have improved the sensitivity to T-odd, P-even interactions in nuclear beta decay. Methods: We measured proton-electron coincidences from decays of longitudinally polarized neutrons with a highly symmetric detector array designed to cancel the time-reversal-even, parity-odd Standard-Model contributions to polarized neutron decay. Over 300 million proton-electron coincidence events were used to extract D and study systematic effects in a blind analysis. Results: We find D = [-0.94\pm1.89(stat)\pm0.97(sys)]e-4. Conclusions: This is the most sensitive measurement of D in nuclear beta decay. Our result can be interpreted as a measurement of the phase of the ratio of the axial-vector and vector coupling constants (CA/CV= |λ|exp(iϕ_AV)) with ϕ_AV = 180.012° \pm0.028° (68% confidence level) or to constrain time-reversal violating scalar and tensor interactions that arise in certain extensions to the Standard Model such as leptoquarks. This paper presents details of the experiment, analysis, and systematic- error corrections.

description: In August 1914, a targeted and systematic manipulation of opinion by the media, intellectuals and authorities started. Atrocities were attributed to the enemies that arose from preformed images or were based merely on rumors and unexamined reports. All belligerents aimed at mobilizing the home front and influencing neutral countries. However, Allied propaganda utilized supposed or actual infringements of the law of war systematically and successfully. It was the connection between real transgressions of norms and excessive propaganda that hindered the mental conclusion of peace and led in 1918/19 to making demands for penalties for the first time. The later uncovering of numerous false anti-German reports strengthened the myth of the “stab in the back” in Germany.

description: The comprehensive low-temperature specific heat C(T) data identify both an isotropic s-wave and an extended s-wave order parameters coexisting in a superconducting single crystal FeSe with Tc=8.11 K. The isotropic gap Δ0=1.33 meV on the hole Fermi sheets and the extended s-wave gap Δ=Δe(1+α*cos2_theta) with Δe=1.13 meV and α=0.78 on the electron Fermi sheets. The extended s-wave is rather anisotropic but the low energy quasiparticle excitations demonstrate no sign of the accidental nodes. The coefficient γ(H) manifesting the quasiparticle contribution to C is a non-linear function of the applied magnetic field H in the mixed state in accord with the anisotropic multi-order parameters.

Navigating Capital Flows in Brazil and Chile

Year: 2012
Subjects: Finance

description: In the wake of the global financial crisis, many emerging market countries have been the recipients of unstable capital flows. Indeed, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has gone so far as to refer to post-crisis capital flows as a 'tsunami' that is a cause of great concern in the developing world. Different nations have responded to this challenge with different tools. Some nations have deployed capital account regulations, others have intervened in currency markets, and others have refrained from any activity at all. This paper analyzes the actions of Brazil and Chile between 2009 and the third quarter of 2011. During this period Brazil deployed capital account regulations and Chile intervened in its currency markets. We examine the effectiveness of each of these actions and the extent to which the actions of Brazil caused capital flow spillovers in the Chilean market. Consistent with the peer-reviewed literature on the subject, we find that capital account regulations had small but significant impacts on the shifting the composition of capital inflows toward longer-term investment, on the level and volatility of the exchange rate, on asset prices, and on the ability of Brazil to have independence in monetary policy. Brazil's regulations did also temporarily cause an increase in capital flows into Chile. Chile's interventions did not have a lasting impact on the Chilean exchange rate or on asset prices beyond the initial announcements of the policies. In Brazil's case we thus conclude that Brazil's regulations helped the nation 'lean against the wind,' but were not enough to tame the tsunami.

description: Most methods for decision-theoretic online learning are based on the Hedge algorithm, which takes a parameter called the learning rate. In most previous analyses the learning rate was carefully tuned to obtain optimal worst-case performance, leading to suboptimal performance on easy instances, for example when there exists an action that is significantly better than all others. We propose a new way of setting the learning rate, which adapts to the difficulty of the learning problem: in the worst case our procedure still guarantees optimal performance, but on easy instances it achieves much smaller regret. In particular, our adaptive method achieves constant regret in a probabilistic setting, when there exists an action that on average obtains strictly smaller loss than all other actions. We also provide a simulation study comparing our approach to existing methods.

description: While World War I featured the largest armies ever assembled, it was also fought by unprecedented numbers of paramilitary fighters. In a situation where the line between combatant and non-combatant was fluid, so was the line between paramilitary fighter and civilian, and the postwar paramilitaries often directed their extraordinary levels of violence at civilian victims. Attributed to the brutalizing effects of war, the shattering of prewar empires, and the anti-Bolshevik counter-revolution, paramilitarism devastated Central and Eastern Europe for years after peace was formally concluded.

description: We derive the condition on f(R) gravities that admit Killing spinor equations and construct explicit such examples. The Killing spinor equations can be used to reduce the fourth-order differential equations of motion to the first order for both the domain wall and FLRW cosmological solutions. We obtain exact "BPS" domain walls that describe the smooth Randall-Sundrum II, AdS wormholes and the RG flow from IR to UV. We also obtain exact smooth cosmological solutions that describe the evolution from an inflationary starting point with a larger cosmological constant to an ever-expanding universe with a smaller cosmological constant. In addition, We find exact smooth solutions of pre-big bang models, bouncing or crunching universes. An important feature is that the scalar curvature R of all these metrics is varying rather than a constant. Another intriguing feature is that there are two different f(R) gravities that give rise to the same "BPS" solution. We also study linearized f(R) gravities in (A)dS vacua.

description: This paper examines the process of data collection within forestry and its individuals and organizations in Germany as a first step towards digitization. Germany has one of the largest forest areas in Europe and plays a significant role in mitigating the impacts of climate change and providing ecosystem services to society. To fulfill this role, data collection is required by law for most forests in Germany. This data collection has been historically labor intensive and time consuming. Data collection through Internet of Things (IoT) devices has the potential to improve the efficiency and accuracy of forestry operations while also providing valuable insights into forest health and productivity. Modern data collection through drones and satellite imagery already provide significant benefits to the economy of forestry. This could be further enhanced by low-cost IoT devices bundled as sensor networks in forests to gather data over a lifespan of a forest.

description: We present optical ($B$, $V$, $R_{\rm c}$, $I_{\rm c}$ and $y$) and near infrared ($J$, $H$ and $K_{\rm s}$) photometric and spectroscopic observations of a classical nova V1280 Scorpii for five years from 2007 to 2011. Our photometric observations show a declining event in optical bands shortly after the maximum light which continues $\sim$ 250 days. The event is most probably caused by a dust formation. The event is accompanied by a short ($\sim$ 30 days) re-brightening episode ($\sim$ 2.5 mag in $V$), which suggests a re-ignition of the surface nuclear burning. After 2008, the $y$ band observations show a very long plateau at around $y$ = 10.5 for more than 1000 days until April 2011 ($\sim$ 1500 days after the maximum light). The nova had taken a very long time ($\sim$ 50 months) before entering the nebular phase (clear detection of both [\ion{O}{iii}] 4959 and 5007) and is still continuing to generate the wind caused by H-burning. The finding suggests that V1280 Sco is going through the historically slowest evolution. The interval from the maximum light (2007 February 16) to the beginning of the nebular phase is longer than any previously known slow novae: V723 Cas (18 months), RR Pic (10 months), or HR Del (8 months). It suggests that the mass of a white dwarf in the V1280 Sco system might be 0.6 $M_\mathrm{\sun}$ or smaller. The distance, based on our measurements of the expansion velocity combined with the directly measured size of the dust shell, is estimated to be 1.1 $\pm$ 0.5 kpc.

description: Bone fractures that fail to heal after a prolonged period are known as non-healing unions. Bolus injections of soluble bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) are rapidly cleared-off and lose their activity. Hence, high dosages are needed; resulting in inflammation, increased cancer incidence and ectopic bone formation, in addition to the high costs of the treatment. This study aims to fabricate extracellular matrix-like surface coatings with intrinsic cross-linking property that enables the control and delivery of BMP-2 to cells, in its active matrix-bound state, in order to promote osteogenesis. The glycosaminoglycans; heparin, chondroitin-sulfate and hyaluronic acid were combined with either chitosan or Collagen I to fabricate multilayers using layer-by-layer technique. Overall, intrinsically cross-linked multilayers represented successful efficient candidates to be used as biomimetic surface coatings and growth factors delivery systems for tissue regeneration applications.
description: Knochenbrüche, die nach längerer Zeit nicht heilen, werden als nicht heilende Verbände bezeichnet. Bolusinjektionen von löslichem knochenmorphogenetischem Protein-2 (BMP-2) werden schnell wieder abgebaut und verlieren ihre Wirkung. Daher sind hohe Dosierungen erforderlich, die neben den hohen Behandlungskosten zu Entzündungen, erhöhter Krebsinzidenz und ektopischer Knochenbildung führen. In dieser Studie sollen extrazelluläre matrixähnliche Oberflächenbeschichtungen mit intrinsischer Vernetzungseigenschaft hergestellt werden, die die Kontrolle und Abgabe von BMP-2 an Zellen in seinem aktiven, matrixgebundenen Zustand ermöglichen, um die Osteogenese zu fördern. Die Glykosaminoglykane Heparin, Chondroitinsulfat und Hyaluronsäure wurden entweder mit Chitosan oder Kollagen I kombiniert, um Multischichten mit der Layer-by-Layer-Technik herzustellen. Insgesamt waren die intrinsisch vernetzten Multischichten erfolgreiche und effiziente Kandidaten für biomimetische Oberflächenbeschichtungen und Wachstumsfaktoren Delivery-Systeme für Geweberegenerationsanwendungen.

description: The proliferation of standards, norms and specifications across different industries poses a significant challenge to organizations trying to navigate this complex landscape. This paper addresses this challenge by identifying and discussing selected characteristics that facilitate the distinction of different publication formats such as specifications, norms, and standards. It also examines the inherent characteristics of their development process, including consensus mechanisms, levels of influence and accessibility. In addition, inherent characteristics of the development process for standards, norms and specifications is discussed. The level of consensus is identified as a critical factor, as it reflects the degree of agreement among stakeholders during the development phase. The degree of influence exerted by different organizations or bodies is examined, shedding light on the authority and influence of different publications and organizations. Accessibility is identified as another important characteristic. The study of these characteristics is a first step towards a holistic navigation mechanism for users, experts, and organizations to gain a better understanding of the diverse landscape of standards, norms, and specifications, thus enabling informed decision-making on which publications to follow, which to prioritize, and where to bring in ideas and challenges to be addressed in the context of open innovation. In addition, the results can provide guidance to standards bodies on recent shortcomings in their offerings and limitations in current models of collaboration with other standardization and research institutions.

description: Across the major belligerent powers, industrial production and the mobilization and organization of industrial labor became central to the conduct of the First World War. States and private industries restructured labor towards large-scale production, employing increasing numbers of semiskilled and unskilled laborers, women and men, and laborers from across the world. Organized labor’s political power saw some significant increases during the war, and declining real wages and living conditions for many industrial workers led to protests and an increasingly radicalized workers’ politics by the war’s end.

description: This Brief summarizes a CCRC study that analyzed the patterns and determinants of student progression through sequences of developmental education starting from initial referral. The authors relied primarily on a micro-level longitudinal dataset that includes detailed information about student progression through developmental education. This dataset was collected as part of the national community college initiative, Achieving the Dream: Community Colleges Count. The dataset has many advantages, but it is not nationally representative; therefore, we check our results against a national dataset—the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988. Results of the study indicate that fewer than one half of the students who are referred to remediation actually complete the entire sequence to which they are referred. About 30 percent of students referred to developmental education do not enroll in any remedial course, and only about 60 percent of referred students actually enroll in the remedial course to which they were referred. The results also show that more students exit their developmental sequences because they did not enroll in the first or a subsequent course than because they failed or withdrew from a course in which they were enrolled.

description: A widespread quality assurance technique for ensuring correctness of software is testing, but relevant test cases might be easily overlooked. Formal methods - an alternative to testing - are applied in software industry only rarely, due to the lack of both widely used verification tools and engineers able to apply such tools effectively. In order to address these problems, our university offers appropriate courses, in which the open-source tool VeriFast is applied to formally verify given contracts for functions implemented in C. While VeriFast is very fast in verifying even larger programs, students often have difficulties when authoring function contracts and other proof arguments formally. To address this problem, we developed a web-based system for visualizing each contract as a graph. In this paper, we describe the architecture and the main features of our system and show on a running example, how our system can support the user of VeriFast.

description: We study the evolution of an inflation-generated magnetic field, due to its coupling to fluid motions, during cosmological phase transitions. We find that the magnetic field stays almost unchanged on large scales, while on small scales the spectrum is modified in such a way that power at small scales becomes progressively suppressed. We also show that the magnetic field generates turbulent motions in the initially turbulence-free plasma. On large scales, the slope of the resulting kinetic energy spectrum is consistent with that of white noise.

description: This article argues that the shifts in the colonial administration after World War One should be analyzed from two intertwined perspectives: Firstly the new international system of the mandates and its language of development, and secondly the concrete colonial situations in Africa. While the new international system provided different norms and rationalizations, as well as alternative opportunities for African actors in the colonies, continuity was nonetheless more commonly experienced and dominated societal currents more so than the shifts. The same argument might also be put forward in case of the transferred German colonies as mandates of the League of Nations, administered by the Allied Forces Great Britain, France, Belgium and South Africa.

description: We report transient electron paramagnetic resonance (trEPR) measurements with sub-microsecond time resolution performed on a P3HT:PCBM blend at low temperature. The trEPR spectrum immediately following photoexcitation reveals signatures of spin-correlated polaron pairs. The pair partners (positive polarons in P3HT and negative polarons in PCBM) can be identified by their characteristic g-values. The fact that the polaron pair states exhibit strong non-Boltzmann population unambiguously shows that the constituents of each pair are geminate, i.e. originate from one exciton. We demonstrate that coupled polaron pairs are present even several microseconds after charge transfer and suggest that they embody the intermediate charge transfer complexes which form at the donor/acceptor interface and mediate the conversion from excitons into free charge carriers.

description: The overall structure of the immune system is highly conserved across vertebrates, but characterization and description of the immune system is heavily biased toward mammals. One arm of the vertebrate immune system, the adaptive immune system, mounts pathogen-specific responses that tend to be robust and effective at clearing pathogens. This system requires selection against self-recognition and modulation of the immune response. One of the mechanisms of immune modulation is the presence of regulatory T cells that suppress other effector immune cells. Regulatory T cells and their primary activator forkhead box protein P3 (FOXP3) have been well characterized in mammalian models but unexplored in most other vertebrate taxa. Amphibians are a good focal group for the characterization of FOXP3 due to their phylogenetic position on the vertebrate tree of life, and their susceptibility to emerging pathogens. In this study, we mine available transcriptomic and genomic data to confirm the presence of FOXP3 across the amphibian tree of life. We find that FOXP3 is present in all major clades of amphibians. We also find evidence of intensified selection among anurans compared to salamanders and caecilians, which may reflect exposure to emerging diseases that primarily impact anurans. Our findings provide insights into the evolutionary history of the vertebrate immune system and confirm the conservation of vertebrate immune genes within amphibians.

description: Germany entered the First World War without a sophisticated censorship or propaganda apparatus. At first, censorship focused on the elimination of all information that might be useful to the enemy. Policies and decisions of censorship authorities varied widely among military districts. The longer the war continued the more blurred were the boundaries between propaganda and censorship.

description: We report findings from a comparative evaluation of several recent object detection models applied to a domain-specific use case in technical document analysis and graphics recognition. More specifically, we apply models from the EfficientDet and YOLO model families to detect and classify figures in electronics datasheets according to a custom classification scheme. We identify YOLOv7-D6 as the most accurate model in our study and show that it can successfully solve this task. We highlight an iterative approach to figure annotation in document page images for creating a comprehensive and balanced custom dataset for our use case. In our experiments, the object detection models show impressive performance levels on par with state-of-the-art results from the literature and related studies.
Tennessee and Florida: Continuity and Change in Long-Lasting State Performance Funding Systems for Higher Education

description: One of the key ways that state governments pursue better higher education performance is through performance funding. It ties state funding directly to specific indicators of institutional performance, such as rates of graduation and job placement. This study considers the ways that performance funding systems in states with long-lasting systems have changed over time and what political and social conditions explain the changes. We analyze the experiences of two states: Tennessee, which pioneered performance funding in 1979; and Florida, which launched it in 1994. Funding for Tennessee's system has steadily increased over the years, whereas Florida's funding history has been more volatile and now provides much fewer dollars than when it was at its peak. Both Tennessee and Florida have changed their performance indicators substantially. But Florida added nine and dropped two in 12 years, while Tennessee added only six and dropped four over 31 years. Moreover, in Tennessee, performance indicators are added at the end of a regular five-year review, whereas in Florida they have been added irregularly, with no tie to a cyclical process of program reappraisal. Overall, Tennessee's performance funding system has been considerably more stable than Florida's because its initial policy design delineated much more clearly how the system was to be governed and changed over time, and provided for regular and systematic evaluation. Moreover, Tennessee's state legislature has played a smaller role in the ongoing development of performance funding than Florida's. These differences in policy process carry important implications. A system where funding levels do not oscillate greatly and indicators change more gradually and systematically is more likely to allow institutions to plan effectively. Further, such a system will have a more secure base of consent from institutions if it comes under attack.

description: El objetivo de este trabajo es recopilar las técnicas traductológicas más usuales que se utilizan a la hora de enfrentarse a las características y dificultades propias de la traducción para el doblaje. Para ello, hemos analizado la traducción al español de España de la película de Disney, Hércules (1997), comparándola con su original en inglés. Con este propósito, nos hemos guiado por algunos autores de referencia, como Martínez (2008), Chaume (2004) o Agost (1999). Así, nuestro análisis se compone de un breve marco teórico, seguido de una exposición de los principales problemas de traducción audiovisual y las estrategias tomadas por la traductora para cada uno de ellos a través de algunos ejemplos comentados.
description: This paper aims to serve as a compilation of the most commonly used translation strategies in dubbing, which presents particular characteristics and difficulties. For this purpose, we have analysed the translation of the Disney film Hercules (1997) into Spanish from Spain, comparing it with the original English version. Bearing this in mind, we have based our article on the theoretical frame provided by some reference authors, such as Martínez (2008), Chaume (2004) or Agost (1999). Thus, our analysis comprises a brief presentation of the above mentioned theoretical frame, an enumeration of the main audiovisual translation problems and the strategies chosen by the translator in each case illustrated by some explained examples.
