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 ...

Lost ground, lost value: Investigating the relationship between soil erosion and agricultural land value

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

Context‐centric proactive information delivery for Knowledge Work support: Opportunities, challenges, and directions. An Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST)

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Context‐centric proactive information delivery (PID) is a relatively underexplored domain within recommender systems (RS) aimed at enhancing Knowledge Workers' productivity by proactively providing relevant information during digital tasks.

Neural Dynamics of the Combined Discounting of Delay and Probability During the Evaluation of a Delayed Risky Reward

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Delay discounting and probability discounting are two important processes, but in daily life there are many more situations that involve delayed risky outcomes. Although neuroscience research has extensively investigated delay and probability discounting

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.

Near-Optimal Scheduling for LTL with Future Discounting [PDF]

, 2015
We study the search problem for optimal schedulers for the linear temporal logic (LTL) with future discounting. The logic, introduced by Almagor, Boker and Kupferman, is a quantitative variant of LTL in which an event in the far future has only ...

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 ...

Cost‐utility analysis of nusinersen–risdiplam switch in patients with spinal muscular atrophy in Croatia: A discrete event simulation model

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Introduction In recent years, the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a rare disease, has significantly progressed, improving patients' survival and overall quality of life. However, current SMA treatments are expensive, and some (nusinersen) are very inconvenient for patients.

Restoring Trust: Rebuilding the Forest Carbon Credit System Through Scientific Rigor

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As pivotal nature‐based climate solutions (NbCS), forests are increasingly recognized for their climate mitigation potential. However, this potential is undermined by fundamental flaws in current carbon credit systems. Our analysis identifies four interconnected systemic challenges: (1) subjective additionality assessments arising from ...

The sooner the better: clinical and neural correlates of impulsive choice in Tourette disorder

Translational Psychiatry, 2021
Reward sensitivity has been suggested as one of the central pathophysiological mechanisms in Tourette disorder. However, the subjective valuation of a reward by introduction of delay has received little attention in Tourette disorder, even though it has ...
