A central problem of surveillance is to monitor multiple targets moving in a large-scale, obstacle-ridden environment with occlusions. This paper presents a novel principled Partially Observable Markov Decision Process-based approach to coordinating...
Video prediction aims to generate realistic future frames by learning dynamic visual patterns. One fundamental challenge is to deal with future uncertainty: How should a model behave when there are multiple correct, equally probable future? We propos...
The cosmic far-infrared background is now well measured from 140 micron to 1 mm. Uncertainties remain at 100 micron (and even more at 60 micron). These are dominated by limitations of the zodiacal model. The nature of sources dominating the backgro...
High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems interconnect AC grids to increase reliability, connect offshore wind generation, and enable coupling of electricity markets. Considering the growing uncertainty in power infeed and the complexity introduced...
I wanted to share my career journey in case it helps someone who's feeling stuck or uncertain about their job situation. === Disclaimer: Naghahanap ka ng TL DR Version? This is a 3-5 Minute Read. ...
A major source of risk in project management is inaccurate forecasts of project costs, demand, and other impacts. The paper presents a promising new approach to mitigating such risk, based on theories of decision making under uncertainty which won th...
This paper presents a coordinated framework to optimize electric vehicle (EV) charging considering grid constraints and system uncertainties. The proposed framework consists of two optimization models. In particular, the distribution system operator...
This paper presents a new interacting particle system and uses it as a spin model for financial market microstructure. The asymptotic analysis of this stochastic process exhibits a lower bound to the contemporaneous measurement of price and trading...
Autonomous agents operating in sequential decision-making tasks under uncertainty can benefit from external action suggestions, which provide valuable guidance but inherently vary in reliability. Existing methods for incorporating such advice typical...
We study a robust selling problem where a seller attempts to sell one item to a buyer but is uncertain about the buyer's valuation distribution. Existing literature shows that robust screening provides a stronger theoretical guarantee than robust det...
The increasing penetration of renewable energy in recent years has led to more uncertainties in power systems. In order to maintain system reliability and security, electricity market operators need to keep certain reserves in the Security-Constraine...
This study addresses the critical issue of reliability for AI-assisted medical diagnosis. We focus on the selection prediction approach that allows the diagnosis system to abstain from providing the decision if it is not confident in the diagnosis. S...
Corrosion fatigue is a major threat to the integrity of marine structures. However, the combined damaging effect of corrosion and fatigue is not well understood due to the uncertainties associated with the stochastic nature of pitting corrosion. A pi...
The killing of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the ongoing US-Israeli bombing campaign have ushered in a period of uncertainty for the country's leadership.Iran's political system has...
The death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who stood at the pinnacle of Iran’s Islamic Republic for nearly four decades, along with a number of top military leaders in the first day of the U.S.-Israeli camp...
Joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran have killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country’s supreme leader for nearly four decades, thrusting the country into uncertainty and sparking a war that could draw in ...
Platinum is widely used as a pressure calibration standard. However, the established thermal EOS has uncertainties, especially in the high $P$-$T$ range. We use density functional theory to calculate the thermal equation of state of platinum, up to...
In this paper, we extend our previous discussion on ontological determinism, non-locality and quantum mechanics to that of the Sarfatti post-quantum mechanics perspective. We examine the nature of quantum equilibrium and non-equilibrium and uncertain...
The relativistic second-order corrections at orders $mα^6$ and $mα^6(m/M)$ in hydrogen molecular ions are calculated. Convergence of numerical results is studied, which allows estimating the relative numerical uncertainty to be less then $10^{-5}$....
An uninformed sender publicly commits to an informative experiment about an uncertain state, privately observes its outcome, and sends a cheap-talk message to a receiver. We provide an algorithm valid for arbitrary state-dependent preferences that wi...
