Identifying Present-Biased Discount Functions in Dynamic Discrete Choice Models
We study the identification of dynamic discrete choice models with sophisticated, quasi-hyperbolic time preferences under exclusion restrictions. We consider both standard finite horizon problems and empirically useful infinite horizon ones, which we prove to always have solutions. We reduce identification to finding the present-bias and standard discount factors that solve a system of polynomial equations with coefficients determined by the data and use this to bound the cardinality of the ide…

Growing a Modular Framework for Modal Systems- HOLMS: a HOL Light Library
The present dissertation introduces the research project on HOLMS (\textbf{HOL} Light Library for \textbf{M}odal \textbf{S}ystems), a growing modular framework for modal reasoning within the HOL Light proof assistant. To provide an accessible introduction to the library, the fundamentals of modal logic are outlined first, followed by a concise manual for the proof assistant itself. The core contribution of this work on HOLMS is the development of a unified and modular strategy for proving adequ…

Maryland works to replace parking lots at train stations with dense housing & mixed use development.

Maryland announces $1.25 million in grants for development around rail stations
The announcement comes as Maryland is trying to double down on a bet that transit hubs can help turn the tide on climate and housing affordability issues.

ICU-TSB: A Benchmark for Temporal Patient Representation Learning for Unsupervised Stratification into Patient Cohorts
Patient stratification identifying clinically meaningful subgroups is essential for advancing personalized medicine through improved diagnostics and treatment strategies. Electronic health records (EHRs), particularly those from intensive care units (ICUs), contain rich temporal clinical data that can be leveraged for this purpose. In this work, we introduce ICU-TSB (Temporal Stratification Benchmark), the first comprehensive benchmark for evaluating patient stratification based on temporal pat…

CTA: Cross-Task Alignment for Better Test Time Training
Deep learning models have demonstrated exceptional performance across a wide range of computer vision tasks. However, their performance often degrades significantly when faced with distribution shifts, such as domain or dataset changes. Test-Time Training (TTT) has emerged as an effective method to enhance model robustness by incorporating an auxiliary unsupervised task during training and leveraging it for model updates at test time. In this work, we introduce CTA (Cross-Task Alignment), a nov…

Generalized Modulated Symmetries in $\mathbb{Z}_2$ Topological Ordered Phases
We study $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological ordered phases in 2+1 dimensions characterized by generalized modulated symmetries. Such phases have explicit realizations in terms of fixed-point Hamiltonians involving commuting projectors with support $h=3,5,7,\ldots$ in the horizontal direction, which dictates the modulation of the generalized symmetries. These symmetries are sensitive to the lattice sizes. For certain sizes, they are spontaneously broken and the ground state is degenerated, while for the…

Novel Simplified Model for Planar Capacitors up to 1 GHz
The study and modelling of planar capacitors remain highly relevant due to their broad applications. However, their accurate modelling presents significant challenges due to intrinsic high-frequency effects, which include not only parasitic inductance but also ohmic losses in the copper and dielectric losses in the substrate. Therefore, this work proposes developing a new simplified planar capacitor model consisting of two identical rectangular plates, which incorporates the effects of both the…

Currents Beneath Stability: A Stochastic Framework for Exchange Rate Instability Using Kramers Moyal Expansion
Understanding the stochastic behavior of currency exchange rates is critical for assessing financial stability and anticipating market transitions. In this study, we investigate the empirical dynamics of the USD exchange rate in three economies, including Iran, Turkey, and Sri Lanka, through the lens of the Kramers-Moyal expansion and Fokker-Planck formalism. Using log-return data, we confirm the Markovian nature of the exchange rate fluctuations, enabling us to model the system with a second-o…
