Temporal-difference reinforcement learning with distributed representations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Temporal-difference (TD) algorithms have been proposed as models of reinforcement learning (RL). We examine two issues of distributed representation in these TD algorithms: distributed representations of belief and distributed discounting factors ...

A neuroeconomic theory of rational addiction and\ud nonlinear time-perception. [PDF]
, 2011 Neuroeconomic conditions for “rational addiction” (Becker and Murphy, 1988) have\ud been unknown. This paper derived the conditions for “rational addiction” by utilizing a\ud nonlinear time-perception theory of “hyperbolic” discounting, which is ...

Optimal seismic upgrade timing in seaports with increasing throughput demand via real options [PDF]
, 2018 A real options (RO) formulation is proposed for decision-making on the timing to upgrade the seismic performance of existing seaports with increasing throughput demand in earthquake prone areas.

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study advances the literature on sustainable urban agriculture and alternative sustainable food production systems, which have gained momentum due to the need to strengthen regional food supply chains and meet the growing urban demand for fresh food. Indoor agriculture (IA) holds promise for year‐round cultivation of fresh produce even in

Does thinking about the past reduce temporal discounting? An investigation into the effects of episodic thought on intertemporal choice [PDF]
, 2011 Humans show a preference for present rewards over delayed rewards, a phenomenon known as temporal discounting (TD). TD, of perennial interest because of its violation of rational economic theory, is associated with poor outcomes such as drug addiction ...

Temporal Discounting in Technical Debt: How do Software Practitioners Discount the Future? [PDF]
2019 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Technical Debt (TechDebt), 2019 Technical Debt management decisions always imply a trade-off among outcomes at different points in time. In such intertemporal choices, distant outcomes are often valued lower than close ones, a phenomenon known as temporal discounting. Technical Debt research largely develops prescriptive approaches for how software engineers should make such ...

The neurodevelopment of delay discounting for monetary rewards in pre-adolescent children
Scientific Reports, 2021 Children are found to exhibit high degrees of delay discounting compared with adults in many delay discounting studies, which might be due to the asynchronous development of “bottom-up” and “top-down” neural systems.
