Study uses ML to predict non-participation in ELSA COVID-19 follow-up studies.

problem Predicting non-participation in follow-up surveys due to various factors.
method Used machine learning algorithms including KNN, RF, AdaBoost, logistic regression, NN, and SVC.
result Random Forest (RF) outperforms other models in balanced accuracy.

Active learning suffers from biased non-response, which this paper addresses.

problem Active learning's effectiveness is compromised by biased non-response in real-world contexts.
method Proposes a cost-based correction to the sampling strategy, UCB-EU, to mitigate the impact of biased non-response.
result UCB-EU successfully reduces the harm from labelling non-response in many settings.

Deep learning models outperform MICE in large survey imputation but with hyperparameter tuning.

problem Comparing deep learning and MICE for missing data imputation in large surveys.
method Extensive simulation studies comparing four machine learning-based MI methods: MICE with classification trees, MICE with random forests, generative adversarial imputation networks, and multiple imputation using denoising autoencoders.
result MICE with classification trees consistently outperforms deep learning methods in terms of bias, mean squared error, and coverage.

Outliers arise in networks due to different reasons such as fraudulent behavior of malicious users or default in measurement instruments and can significantly impair network analyses. In addition, real-life networks are likely to be incompletely observed, with missing links due to individual non-response or machine fai…

Study shows non-systematic bias in customer satisfaction surveys limits data value.

problem Non-systematic bias in customer satisfaction surveys limits data value.
method Used real customer satisfaction survey data of a large retail bank to show the irreducible error and suggest thoughtful survey design methods.
result A thoughtful survey design can reduce non-systematic error in customer satisfaction surveys.

The paper tests the credibility of public and private surveys using linear regression and differential privacy.

problem Ensuring the validity of data analysis results from sample surveys using linear regression.
method Designing an algorithm to test the credibility of surveys and extending it to handle LDP.
result The algorithm achieves optimal estimation error bound for 1\ell_1 linear regression and reduces sample complexity.

This is a survey of motivations, constructions and applications of higher prequantum geometry. In section 1 we highlight the open problem of prequantizing local field theory in a local and gauge invariant way, and we survey how a solution to this problem exists in higher differential geometry. In section 2 we survey ex…

problem Assessing survey question difficulty based on respondents' interaction data.
method Ensemble models combining semi-metric-based weak learners to classify multivariate functional data.
result Improved survey data quality through better identification of respondent difficulty.

Digital personas improve survey results for stable attributes but fail for subjective responses.

problem When can digital personas reliably approximate human survey findings?
method Using LISS panel, constructed personas from background variables and survey histories, tested against held-out post-cutoff answers.
result Digital personas improve alignment with human response distributions for stable attributes but fail for subjective responses.

Survey of methods for solving smooth stochastic variational inequalities.

problem Solving smooth (strongly) monotone stochastic variational inequalities.
method Deterministic foundation, general stochastic formulation, finite sum setup, recent advances.
result Review of various methods for solving smooth stochastic variational inequalities.

This survey covers in our opinion the most important results in the theory of continuous selections of multivalued mappings (approximately) from 2002 through 2012. It extends and continues our previous such survey which appeared in Recent Progress in General Topology, II, which was published in 2002. In comparison, our…
