5 results for present-bias

Paper analyzes how present-bias affects carbon emissions and proposes a method to mitigate it.

problem Present-bias impacts carbon emission patterns towards a net zero target.
method Stochastic control techniques adapted from insurance risk theory.
result Higher present-bias leads to excess emissions, and carbon taxes can reduce emissions but beyond a certain point have diminishing returns.

Study on investment strategy for agents with periodic preferences and discounting.

problem Investment decisions by agents with periodic S-shaped preferences and present bias.
method Infinite-horizon, continuous-time portfolio selection problem with quasi-hyperbolic discounting.
result Time-consistent planning strategy can be formulated as an equilibrium to a static mean field game.

While implicit feedback (e.g., clicks, dwell times, etc.) is an abundant and attractive source of data for learning to rank, it can produce unfair ranking policies for both exogenous and endogenous reasons. Exogenous reasons typically manifest themselves as biases in the training data, which then get reflected in the l…

This study analyzes bias in face generation models and proposes mitigation techniques.

problem Bias in face generation models that may misrepresent certain social groups.
method Three approaches: generators, attribute modifier, and post-processing bias mitigators.
result Generators suffer from bias across all social groups, while post-processing mitigators show different feature concentration.
