Scalable Action Respecting Embedding

ARE is a non-linear dimensionality reduction technique for embedding observation trajectories, which captures state dynamics that traditional methods do not. The core of ARE is a semidefinite optimization with constraints requiring actions to be distance-preserving in the resulting embedding. Unfortunately, these constraints are quadratic in number and non-local (making recent scaling tricks in...

Notes from Underground: Are Cognitive-Enhancing Drugs Respecting their Promises?

Cognitive deficits are increasingly acknowledged as a highly relevant clinical feature of schizophrenia, susceptible of therapeutic intervention. Considerable efforts have been devoted to identify and develop pharmacological agents that provide cognitive-enhancing benefits to patients with schizophrenia. However, results from studies are not univocal and the "real world" cognitive functioning g...

Random Assignment Respecting Group Priorities∗

When allocating indivisible objects, agents may be partitioned into several groups and different groups are granted different priority rights. Group-wise random serial dictatorship (GRSD) and group-wise probabilistic serial mechanism (GPS) can be applied to such problems to restore fairness within and across groups. GPS outperforms GRSD not only in efficiency but also in stability ex-ante. The ...
