No trespassing! Abandoning the novice/expert problem by Levy, N

“…I argue that attempts to deploy them in this sort of deep way involve a kind of transgression akin to, and at least as unreliable as, epistemic trespassing. We should give up trying to solve the novice/expert problem and instead promote better epistemic trust.…”

Unveiling the facade of blog posts to reveal subjective well-being : an exploratory study. by Ou, Zhiqi., Tan, Justine Yi Ting., Tan, Jessie Zi Xi.

“…Our two main findings demonstrate that eight out of 11 of the regressions involving the objective ranking as the main independent variable show the objective ranking having the correct expected sign at at least the 10% significance level. As for the subjective ranking, 11 out of 13 of the regressions show it having the correct expected sign at at least the 10% significance level. …”

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.…”

Power system transient stability enhancement by Keh, Soon Heng

“…To understand how it works we will need to first understand how a power system works with the help of a simplified power model known as the Single Machine to Infinite Bus and make used of the simulation software “MATLAB” to build and run the stimulation models. Last but not least, we will review and conclude our results from stimulation models and analyses by comparing results and suggest what could be done for future recommendations.…”

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.…”
