Online learning with kernels by Fan, Haijin

“…On the other hand, to update the kernel weight, the traditional linear or nonlinear online learning algorithms are extended to RKHS to develop types of kernel online learning algorithms, such as the kernel recursive least square algorithms and the kernel (regularized) least mean square algorithms which incorporate suitable sparsification methods to select their kernel centers. …”

New Resiliency in Truly Combinatorial Auctions (and Implementation in Surviving Strategies) by Chen, Jing, Micali, Silvio

“…To advance resilient mechanism design,We put forward a new meaningful benchmark for the COMBINED social welfare-revenue performance of any mechanism in truly combinatorial auctions.We put forward a NEW notion of implementation, much more general than the ones used so far, which we believe to be of independent interest.We put forward a new RESILIENT mechanism that, by leveraging the knowledge that the players have about each other, guarantees at least one half of our benchmark under a very general collusion model.…”

Social resilience through pluralism as Singapore's centre of gravity against the impact of terrorism. by Lee, Wee Leong.

“…It is posited here that given the Singapore government’s emphasis on building the social resilience of its people, especially in promoting pluralism, this center of gravity (COG) would even have prevented, or at the very least, withstood another violent reaction between the races as intended by the JI, even if the plot had succeeded, as alluded to in the article at the beginning of this paper.…”
