We examine competition between two-sided platforms in a sharing economy. In sharing economies, workers self-schedule their supply based on the wage they receive. The platforms compete for workers a…
What is the value of verified employment data in consumer lending? We study this question using a data set covering all employment verification inquiries to Equifax. Using a difference-in-differenc…
In the problem of composite hypothesis testing, identifying the potential uniformly most powerful (UMP) unbiased test is of great interest. Beyond typical hypothesis settings with exponential famil…
This paper studies instance-dependent P ositive and U nlabeled (PU) classification, where whether a positive example will be labeled (indicated by s ) is not only related to the class label y , but…
Knowledge transfer plays a vastly important role in solving multitask optimization problems (MTOPs). Many existing methods transfer task-specific knowledge, such as the high-quality solution from o…
Estimating 3D human pose from a single image is a challenging task. This work attempts to address the uncertainty of lifting the detected 2D joints to the 3D space by introducing an intermediate st…
Characterizing the asymptotic distributions of eigenvectors for large random matrices poses important challenges yet can provide useful insights into a range of statistical applications. To this en…
Supply chain management (SCM) is a significant and complex system in a smart city that requires advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and optimization techniques. The multiobjective supply chain co…
Interrogating a remote passive-sensor with high fidelity is one of the biggest challenges in the sensing domain. Recently, random fiber laser (RFL) combined with remote fiber sensors was proposed f…
Researches on high coherence light sources always pursue fast tuning speed, linear tunability and persistence of narrow linewidths at different tuning channels. Fortunately, acousto-optical interac…
