Bridging Theory and Prediction: A Hybrid SEM and Machine Learning Approach to Optimize Lean Construction for Megaproject Sustainability in China

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Construction megaprojects, large‐scale, complex, and capital‐intensive, are particularly prone to inefficiencies, cost overruns, delays, and environmental degradation due to fragmented workflows, stakeholder misalignment, and resource intensity.

Hedonic Games with Ordinal Preferences and Thresholds

Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, 2020
We propose a new representation setting for hedonic games, where each agent partitions the set of other agents into friends, enemies, and neutral agents, with friends and enemies being ranked. Under the assumption that preferences are monotonic (respectively, antimonotonic) with respect to the addition of friends (respectively, enemies), we propose a ...

A Multivariate Mixed‐Effects Regression Framework for Ground Motion Modeling: Integrating Parametric and Machine Learning Approaches

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multivariate ground motion models (GMMs) that capture the correlation between different intensity measures (IMs) are essential for seismic risk assessment. Conventional GMMs are often developed using a two‐stage approach, where separate univariate models with predefined functional forms are fitted first, and correlation is addressed in a ...

Hydra Games and Tree Ordinals

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2007
Hydra games were introduced by Kirby and Paris, for the formulation of a result which is independent from Peano arithmetic but depends on the transfinite structure of ∈0. Tree ordinals are a well-known simple way to represent countable ordinals.

ESG Performance and Credit Risk: Evidence From Chinese Manufacturing Companies

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effect of corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance on credit risk using a sample of manufacturing firms listed on China's Shanghai and Shenzhen A‐share markets from 2009 to 2021. Employing fixed effects, the generalised method of moments, and instrumental variable models, we find that ...
