Glitches cause unreliable AI decisions with steep boundaries.
The detection of gravitational waves with LIGO and Virgo requires a detailed understanding of the response of these instruments in the presence of environmental and instrumental noise. Of particular interest is the study of anomalous non-Gaussian noise transients known as glitches, since their high occurrence rate in L…
In the last years, crowdsourcing is transforming the way classification training sets are obtained. Instead of relying on a single expert annotator, crowdsourcing shares the labelling effort among a large number of collaborators. For instance, this is being applied to the data acquired by the laureate Laser Interferome…
Bayesian method improves dictionary learning for complex problems.
Modern physics has demonstrated that matter behaves very differently as it approaches the speed of light. This paper explores the implications of modern physics to the operation and regulation of financial markets. Information cannot move faster than the speed of light. The geographic separation of market centers means…
Order matching systems form the backbone of modern equity exchanges, used by millions of investors daily. Thus, their operation is strictly controlled through numerous regulatory directives to ensure that markets are fair and transparent. Despite these efforts, market manipulation remains an open problem. In this work,…
The in-game economies of massively multi-player online games (MMOGs) are complex systems that have to be carefully designed and managed. This paper presents the results of an analysis of auction house data from the MMOG Glitch, across a 14 month time period, the entire lifetime of the game. The data comprise almost 3 m…
The paper tackles model misspecification in reinforcement learning through a bootstrapped neural network and error correction.
This paper explains how low-precision arithmetic causes loss spikes in deep learning models.
New method disentangles sources of different timescales in planetary seismic data.
