Productivity and credit limits affect aggregate production in non-monotonic ways.
We introduce a fully probabilistic framework of consumer product choice based on quality assessment. It allows us to capture many aspects of marketing such as partial information asymmetry, quality differentiation, and product placement in a supermarket.
Study on identifying and inferring nonlinear dynamics on unknown networks.
AI-enhanced product embeddings boost demand analysis accuracy.
In market modeling, one often treats buyers as a homogeneous group. In this paper we consider buyers with heterogeneous preferences and products available in many variants. Such a framework allows us to successfully model various market phenomena. In particular, we investigate how is the vendor's behavior influenced by…
There are clear benefits associated with a particular consumer choice for many current markets. For example, as we consider here, some products might carry environmental or `green' benefits. Some consumers might value these benefits while others do not. However, as evidenced by myriad failed attempts of environmental p…
We consider the problem of multi-product dynamic pricing, in a contextual setting, for a seller of differentiated products. In this environment, the customers arrive over time and products are described by high-dimensional feature vectors. Each customer chooses a product according to the widely used Multinomial Logit (…
Estimates price sensitivity from transaction data using a novel odds ratio method.
A new sliced IGW distance for Gromov-Wasserstein alignment.
Upper bounds on utility for managing heterogeneous collectivised funds.
GeMA learns latent manifolds to benchmark complex systems.
Trade networks, across which countries distribute their products, are crucial components of the globalized world economy. Their structure is strongly heterogeneous across products, given the different features of the countries which buy and sell goods. By using a diversified pool of indicators from network science and …
Much of the analysis of economic growth has focused on the study of aggregate output. Here, we deviate from this tradition and look instead at the structure of output embodied in the network connecting countries to the products that they export.We characterize this network using four structural features: the negative r…
In this paper, we focus on graph representation learning of heterogeneous information network (HIN), in which various types of vertices are connected by various types of relations. Most of the existing methods conducted on HIN revise homogeneous graph embedding models via meta-paths to learn low-dimensional vector spac…
GBS uses machine learning to design products based on consumer preferences.
Novel method CHPCA simplifies complex market dynamics.
Identifying behavior that is relatively invariant under different conditions is a challenging task in far-from-equilibrium complex systems. As an example of how the existence of a semi-invariant signature can be masked by the heterogeneity in the properties of the components comprising such systems, we consider the exc…
CR-UOT improves matching of heterogeneous single-cell omics profiles.
Social interactions and personal tastes shape our consumption behavior of cultural products. In this study, we present a computational model of a cultural market and we aim to analyze the behavior of the consumer population as an emergent phenomena. Our results suggest that the final market shares of cultural products …
The paper introduces heterogeneous manifolds for better graph embeddings.
Heterogeneity of economic agents is emphasized in a new trend of macroeconomics. Accordingly the new emerging discipline requires one to replace the production function, one of key ideas in the conventional economics, by an alternative which can take an explicit account of distribution of firms' production activities. …
We develop a cross-sectional research design to identify causal effects in the presence of unobservable heterogeneity without instruments. When units are dense in physical space, it may be sufficient to regress the "spatial first differences" (SFD) of the outcome on the treatment and omit all covariates. The identifyin…
A framework for causal classification using uplift and causal heterogeneity methods.
The rising use of deep learning and other big-data algorithms has led to an increasing demand for hardware platforms that are computationally powerful, yet energy-efficient. Due to the amount of data parallelism in these algorithms, high-performance 3D manycore platforms that incorporate both CPUs and GPUs present a pr…
Debiased learners estimate heterogeneous treatment effects in observational studies.
Method proposed for pricing insurance products covering both foreseeable and unforeseeable risks.
The paper corrects for node degree in spectral clustering using random walk Laplacian.
This paper improves federated learning for industrial predictive analytics by accommodating client heterogeneity.
Financial fraud detection in digital banking requires reasoning over multiple heterogeneous event streams.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in geometric evolution in heterogeneous media. Here we consider curvature driven fows of planar curves, with an additional space-dependent forcing term. Motivated by a homogenization problem, we look for estimates which depend only on the uniform norm of the forcing te…
Optimizes user marketing campaigns to balance cost and effectiveness.
TF-GNN simplifies graph neural networks in TensorFlow.
To compare entities of differing types and structural components, the artificial neural network paradigm was used to cross-compare structural components between heterogeneous documents. Trainable weighted structural components were input into machine-learned activation functions of the neurons. The model was used for m…
New method measures price elasticity from daily sales data.
Sum-Product Networks (SPNs) are a class of expressive yet tractable hierarchical graphical models. LearnSPN is a structure learning algorithm for SPNs that uses hierarchical co-clustering to simultaneously identifying similar entities and similar features. The original LearnSPN algorithm assumes that all the variables …
This paper proposes a method for estimating consumer preferences among discrete choices, where the consumer chooses at most one product in a category, but selects from multiple categories in parallel. The consumer's utility is additive in the different categories. Her preferences about product attributes as well as her…

Model dynamic customer sensitivities across categories.
System interprets complex treatment effects for personalized policies.
Framework for pricing data products in data-poor markets.
A global agreement on how to reduce and cap human footprint, especially their GHG emissions, is very unlikely in near future. At the same time, bilateral agreements would be inefficient because of their neural and balanced nature. Therefore, unilateral actions would have attracted attention as a practical option. Howev…
We consider a simple market where a vendor offers multiple variants of a certain product and preferences of both the vendor and potential buyers are heterogeneous and possibly even antagonistic. Optimization of the joint benefit of the vendor and the buyers turns the toy market into a combinatorial matching problem. We…
Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have recently achieved state-of-the-art results in various applications. In the case of image recognition, an ideal model has to learn independently of the training data, both local dependencies between the three components (R,G,B) of a pixel, and the global relations describing edge…

We introduce the anti-profile Support Vector Machine (apSVM) as a novel algorithm to address the anomaly classification problem, an extension of anomaly detection where the goal is to distinguish data samples from a number of anomalous and heterogeneous classes based on their pattern of deviation from a normal stable c…
We study a recently proposed large-scale distributed learning paradigm, namely Federated Learning, where the worker machines are end users' own devices. Statistical and computational challenges arise in Federated Learning particularly in the presence of heterogeneous data distribution (i.e., data points on different de…
