Data-driven method clusters and analyzes heat load patterns in district heating networks.
Neural network model improves longevity risk assessment.
We analyze a conservative market model for the competition among economic agents in a close society. A minimum dynamics ensures that the poorest agent has a chance to improve its economic welfare. After a transient, the system self-organizes into a critical state where the wealth distribution have a minimum threshold, …
Commissioned by MIT's in-house artist Jane Philbrick, we evolve an abstract 2D surface (resembling Marta Pan's 1961 "Sculpture Flottante I") under mean curvature, all the while calculating the eigenmodes and eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the resulting shapes. These are then synthesized into a sound-wa…
Examines how extending home loan durations affects French households financially.
Although the understanding of and motivation behind individual trading behavior is an important puzzle in finance, little is known about the connection between an investor's portfolio structure and her trading behavior in practice. In this paper, we investigate the relation between what stocks investors hold, and what …
Koopman-PINN framework improves epidemic model parameter inference and forecasting
New method predicts heat load in thermal grids using latent variables.
Several studies have established the predictive power of the yield curve in terms of real economic activity. In this paper we use data for a variety of E.U. countries: both EMU (Germany, France, Italy) and non-EMU members (Sweden and the U.K.). The data used range from 1991:Q1 to 2009:Q1. For each country, we extract t…
Using an analog of the boundary element method in engineering and science, we analyze and model unemployment rate in Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States as a function of inflation and the change in labor force. Originally, the model linking unemployment to inflation and labor for…
New method reduces text classification errors by learning writing style instead of content.
Develops a combinatorial semi-bandit method for electric vehicle charging station selection.
New approach detects small defects on car surfaces with high accuracy.
Course on neural networks for scientists and engineers.
Explains how geometry and statistics intertwine, focusing on information geometry.
