Adhesive Bond Testing By Laser Induced Shock Waves

Adhesive bonding of metal sheets presents many practical advantages when compared to other joining methods, but its application for critical components is limited by the absence of reliable nondestructive methods that can assure the bond strength of the joint. In this paper, a method based on shock waves produced by pulsed lasers is applied to the evaluation of adhesive bond strength of two alu...

Optimal A-B Testing∗

We consider the problem of A-B testing when the impact of the treatment is marred by a large number of covariates. Randomization can be highly inefficient in such settings, and thus we consider the problem of optimally allocating test subjects to either treatment with a view to maximizing the efficiency of our estimate of the treatment effect. Our main contribution is a tractable algorithm for ...

Containerized A/B Testing

Testing CPT with B Mesons

Apparent violations of CPT and Lorentz symmetry might arise in nature as a result of spontaneous symmetry breaking in a theory beyond the standard model. This talk summarizes a few relevant theoretical and experimental issues, with some emphasis on implications for CPT tests with neutral-B mesons.

Towards Automated A/B Testing

User-intensive software, such as Web and mobile applications, heavily depends on the interactions with large and unknown populations of users. Knowing the preferences and behaviors of these populations is crucial for the success of this class of systems. A/B testing is an increasingly popular technique that supports the iterative development of user-intensive software based on controlled experi...
