  • Reinforcement learning-based off-equilibrium incentives to approximate the VCG mechanism

    Creator:
    Moissinac, Béatrice
    Abstract:
    Auctions are used to solve resource allocation problem between many agents and many items in real-world settings. Unfortunately, in most cases, it is possible for selfish agents to manipulate the system for their own interest at the expense of the social welfare. Such manipulation can be prevented using the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves...

  • Learning cost-sensitive diagnostic policies from data

    Creator:
    Zubek, Valentina Bayer
    Abstract:
    In its simplest form, the process of diagnosis is a decision-making process in which the diagnostician performs a sequence of tests culminating in a diagnostic decision. For example, a physician might perform a series of simple measurements (body tem- perature, weight, etc.) and laboratory measurements (white blood count, CT scan,...

  • A comparison of box-cox and additive exponential models to estimate the depreciation of farm machinery

    Creator:
    Wu, Jing
    Abstract:
    Farm machinery continues to increase in its importance to the agricultural sector. Depreciation, the decline in value of a durable asset over time, represents one of the largest costs of agricultural production. The general objectives of this study were to update and expand the number of Remaining Value (RV) functions...

  • Accuracy versus cost in distributed data mining

    Creator:
    Deutschman, Stephanie
    Abstract:
    A basic tradeoff to consider when designing a distributed data-mining framework is the need for a compromise between the cost of communication and computation resources and the accuracy of the mining results. This is essentially a decision of whether it is more efficient to communicate all of the data to...
