Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Police Patrol and Dispatch
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Police patrol units need to split their time between performing preventive patrol and being dispatched to serve emergency incidents. In the existing literature, patrol and dispatch decisions are often studied separately. We consider joint optimization of these two decisions to improve police operations efficiency and reduce response time to ...

The power of expressed humility: Early stage investors' reaction to humble entrepreneurs
Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary We examine how entrepreneur‐expressed humility affects early stage investors' willingness to fund new ventures. In pitching contexts where investors rely on relational cues and implicit prototypes of entrepreneurs, we theorize three distinct pathways through which expressed humility shapes funding decisions. First, building on

Generating Compressed Counterfactual Hard Negative Samples for Graph Contrastive Learning
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Graph contrastive learning (GCL) relies on acquiring high‐quality positive and negative samples to learn the structural semantics of the input graph. Previous approaches typically sampled negative samples from the same training batch or an irrelevant external graph.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Preregistration is an open science practice which aims to improve research transparency and mitigate questionable research practices, like cherry‐picking results. It helps protect against cognitive biases, like hindsight bias, that can influence how study outcomes are interpreted.

Hierarchical Differentiable Fluid Simulation
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We introduce a two‐step algorithm that significantly reduces memory usage for solving control problems using differentiable fluid simulation techniques: our method first optimizes for bulk forces at reduced resolution, then refines local details over sub‐domains while maintaining differentiability. In trading runtime for memory, it enables optimization
