The burgeoning need for kidney transplantation mandates immediate attention. Mismatch of deceased donor-recipient kidney leads to post-transplant death. To ensure ideal kidney donor-recipient match and minimize post-transplant deaths, the paper develops a prediction model that identifies factors that determine the prob…

Prediction markets can shape political behavior through persistent signals, not just forecast accuracy.

problem The role of prediction markets beyond forecasting.
method Transaction-level evidence from the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Signal Credibility Index (SCI).
result Price signals in prediction markets are more influential due to persistence, breadth of trader types, and cross-platform consensus.

In this study, we introduce a new approach to curve pairs by using integral curves. We consider the direction curve and donor curve to study curve couples such as involute-evolute curves, Mannheim partner curves and Bertrand partner curves. We obtain new methods to construct partner curves of a unit speed curve and giv…

In this paper, we introduce a new approach to non-lightlike curve pairs by using integral curves in Minkowski 3-space. We consider direction curve and donor curve to study non-lightlike curve couples such as involute-evolute curves, Mannheim partner curves and Bertrand partner curves. We obtain new methods to construct…

Differentially private synthetic control estimates treatment effects while protecting privacy.

problem Estimating treatment effects on sensitive data without revealing individual information.
method Combines non-private synthetic control and differentially private empirical risk minimization.
result Private synthetic control produces accurate predictions with minimal privacy cost.

Cooperation is a persistent behavioral pattern of entities pooling and sharing resources. Its ubiquity in nature poses a conundrum. Whenever two entities cooperate, one must willingly relinquish something of value to the other. Why is this apparent altruism favored in evolution? Classical solutions assume a net fitness…

We present a robust generalization of the synthetic control method for comparative case studies. Like the classical method, we present an algorithm to estimate the unobservable counterfactual of a treatment unit. A distinguishing feature of our algorithm is that of de-noising the data matrix via singular value threshol…

Reflective of income and wealth distributions, philanthropic gifting appears to follow an approximate power-law size distribution as measured by the size of gifts received by individual institutions. We explore the ecology of gifting by analysing data sets of individual gifts for a diverse group of institutions dedicat…

The kind of realized mission inflows the sensitivity to risk. Among other factors, the risk results from decision about liquid assets investment level and liquid assets financing. The higher the risk exposure, the higher the level of liquid assets. If the specific risk exposure is smaller, the more aggressive could be …

IGSD separates task-specific content channels in transformer components by comparing activation replacement with zero ablation.

problem Mechanistic interpretability of transformer components
method IGSD: paired-intervention framework for comparing activation replacement with zero ablation
result IGSD identifies an early-layer content channel in transformer components that standard importance methods underestimate.

Generative Distribution Embeddings learn multiscale representations of distributions.

problem Learning representations of entire distributions for multiscale reasoning.
method Introducing GDE framework that lifts autoencoders to the space of distributions, using conditional generative models and distributional invariance.
result GDEs learn predictive sufficient statistics embedded in Wasserstein space, recovering distances and trajectories for Gaussian and Gaussian mixture distributions.

Improved logistic regression for multi-omics data improves prediction and variable selection.

problem Predicting binary class labels from multi-omics datasets with varying characteristics.
method Two-step penalized logistic regression with separate variable selection for each data layer.
result Our approach selects more relevant predictors and achieves comparable prediction performance.

Behavior modification improves prediction accuracy by nudging user behavior.

problem Improving prediction accuracy using behavior modification techniques.
method Combining prediction and behavior modification with reinforcement learning algorithms.
result Behavior modification can make predictions more certain but may not generalize.

problem Lack of quantitative evaluation criteria for unsupervised behavior discovery.
method Proposed and investigated several metrics for generative models of behavior.
result The proposed metrics correspond with biologists' intuitions and allow for model evaluation and bias understanding.

Study reveals LLM personality patterns but lacks behavioral consistency.

problem Understanding and validating personality traits in LLMs.
method Characterized LLM personality across three dimensions: training dynamics, self-report validity, and intervention effects.
result Self-reported traits do not reliably predict behavior, and instructional alignment affects trait expression but not behavior.

Interactive news recommendation has been launched and attracted much attention recently. In this scenario, user's behavior evolves from single click behavior to multiple behaviors including like, comment, share etc. However, most of the existing methods still use single click behavior as the unique criterion of judging…
