The paper analyzes how employers can efficiently screen candidates using multiple tests, considering both skill estimation and fairness.

problem How to efficiently screen candidates using multiple noisy signals without violating fairness.
method The paper extends traditional screening models to a multi-test setting, analyzing optimal employer policies for both fixed and dynamic test assignments.
result A fundamental impossibility emerges when noise levels vary across groups, making it impossible to administer the same number of tests and maintain the same outcomes.

The paper addresses fairness issues in screening classifiers, proposing within-group monotonicity to avoid unfair treatment of qualified candidates.

problem Within-group unfairness in screening classifiers using calibrated models.
method Introducing within-group monotonicity as a property to avoid unfair treatment and developing an efficient post-processing algorithm based on dynamic programming.
result Within-group monotonicity can be achieved efficiently and often at a small cost, improving fairness without significantly compromising prediction accuracy.

New AI platform screens portfolios for desirable firms and news.

problem Optimizing portfolio selection with AI.
method Two LLM agents screen for firm fundamentals and news sentiment. Agents deliberate to generate buy/sell signals. High-dimensional estimation determines optimal weights.

A method selects candidates based on predictions with statistical control.

problem Screening candidates for resource-intensive steps like hiring or drug discovery.
method Wraps around any prediction model to produce a subset of candidates with controlled false selection rate.
result Empirically demonstrates selection of candidates whose predictions exceed a data-dependent threshold.

High throughput screening of compounds (chemicals) is an essential part of drug discovery [7], involving thousands to millions of compounds, with the purpose of identifying candidate hits. Most statistical tools, including the industry standard B-score method, work on individual compound plates and do not exploit cross…

Variable screening is a fast dimension reduction technique for assisting high dimensional feature selection. As a preselection method, it selects a moderate size subset of candidate variables for further refining via feature selection to produce the final model. The performance of variable screening depends on both com…

This paper explores the following question: what kind of statistical guarantees can be given when doing variable selection in high-dimensional models? In particular, we look at the error rates and power of some multi-stage regression methods. In the first stage we fit a set of candidate models. In the second stage we s…

Imagine a large firm with multiple departments that plans a large recruitment. Candidates arrive one-by-one, and for each candidate the firm decides, based on her data (CV, skills, experience, etc), whether to summon her for an interview. The firm wants to recruit the best candidates while minimizing the number of inte…

problem Lack of clear evidence leading to consistent deployment actions.
method Introduces deployment-complete benchmarking to test if benchmark evidence determines deployment actions.
result Benchmark evidence must be complete for a claim to lead to a consistent deployment action.

Unified model learns from proteins and ligands for drug design.

problem Disjoint data sources and modeling assumptions limit joint use of structure- and ligand-based drug design.
method Contrastive Geometric Learning for Unified Computational Drug Design (ConGLUDe)
result Unified model achieves competitive zero-shot virtual screening performance and state-of-the-art ligand-conditioned pocket selection.

The study finds that firm membership in flagship indices and TCFD endorsement are strong predictors of a wider Disclosure-Performance Gap.

problem The Aggregate Confusion hypothesis and the measurement of greenwashing in environmental disclosures.
method The study uses a Disclosure-Performance Gap (DPG) model to measure the divergence between voluntary environmental disclosures and realised emissions performance for 200 large European firms. The model selection process involved multiple stages and robust standard errors.
result Firm membership in flagship indices and TCFD endorsement are strong predictors of a wider gap, while renewable energy use and environmental capital expenditure significantly narrow the gap.

This paper treats the problem of screening for variables with high correlations in high dimensional data in which there can be many fewer samples than variables. We focus on threshold-based correlation screening methods for three related applications: screening for variables with large correlations within a single trea…

result The method provides sure screening property without strong assumptions.

We study safe screening for metric learning. Distance metric learning can optimize a metric over a set of triplets, each one of which is defined by a pair of same class instances and an instance in a different class. However, the number of possible triplets is quite huge even for a small dataset. Our safe triplet scree…

result The design space is redundant, with fewer effective mixture regimes.

In this paper we develop the notion of screen isoparametric hypersurface for null hypersurfaces of Robertson-Walker spacetimes. Using this formalism we derive Cartan identities for the screen principal curvatures of null screen hypersurfaces in Lorentzian space forms and provide a local characterization of such hypersu…

Recently, to solve large-scale lasso and group lasso problems, screening rules have been developed, the goal of which is to reduce the problem size by efficiently discarding zero coefficients using simple rules independently of the others. However, screening for overlapping group lasso remains an open challenge because…
