Homeostatic reinforcement learning for integrating reward collection and physiological stability
eLife, 2014 Efficient regulation of internal homeostasis and defending it against perturbations requires adaptive behavioral strategies. However, the computational principles mediating the interaction between homeostatic and associative learning processes remain ...

Sign Theory: A Non-extensional Theory of Preference [PDF]
, 2003 57 pagesA non-extensional theory of preference, called Sign Theory, is proposed and tested. Sign Theory considers preference construction as an evidence-building process, in which local valuation of evidence combines additively to form a global judgment.

Avoiding Environmental Catastrophes: Varieties of Principled Precaution
Ecology and Society, 2012 The precautionary principle is often proposed as a guide to action in environmental management or risk assessment, and has been incorporated in various legal and regulatory contexts. For many, it reflects the common sense notion of being safe rather than

Higher-Order Decision Theory [PDF]
, 2017 Classical decision theory models behaviour in terms of utility maximisation where utilities represent rational preference relations over outcomes. However, empirical evidence and theoretical considerations suggest that we need to go beyond this framework.

Random 3-D young diagrams and representation theory
, 2011 The topic of the thesis is related to statistical mechanics and probability theory from one side, and to the representation theory of ``big'' groups on the other side. A typical example of a ``big'' group is the union of unitary groups naturally embedded

Coherent random permutations with biased record statistics
, 2011 We consider random permutations that are defined coherently for all values of n, and for each n have a probability distribution which is conditionally uniform given the set of upper and lower record values.

The Impact of Formal Decision Processes on e-Government Projects
Administrative Sciences, 2017 This paper studies associations between the use of formal decision-making processes in e-Government projects and the outcomes of these projects. By doing so, this study contributes to the decision sciences as well as to the fields of e-Government ...
