Exploiting Early Intent Recognition for Competitive Advantage

In physical domains (military or athletic), team behaviors often have an observable spatio-temporal structure, defined by the relative physical positions of team members over time. In this paper, we demonstrate that this structure can be exploited to recognize football plays in the Rush 2008 football simulator. Although events in the simulator are stochastically generated, we present a method f...

Exploiting Tom DeLay: A New Method for Estimating Incumbency Advantage

We propose a new method for estimating incumbency advantage which relies upon the successive implementation of multiple redistricting plans, and demonstrate that the manner in which previous work has used redistricting to identify the causal effect of incumbency results in biased estimates. Strikingly, we show that even if voters were redistricted at random, previous uses of redistricting as a ...
