Optimal Treatment Rules under Missing Predictive Covariates: A Covariate-Balancing Doubly Robust Approach
In precision medicine, one of the most important problems is estimating the optimal individualized treatment rules (ITR), which typically involves recommending treatment decisions based on fully observed individual characteristics of patients to maximize overall clinical benefit. In practice, however, there may be missing covariates that are not necessarily confounders, and it remains uncertain whether these missing covariates should be included for learning optimal ITRs. In this paper, we prop…

CAMNet: Leveraging Cooperative Awareness Messages for Vehicle Trajectory Prediction
Autonomous driving remains a challenging task, particularly due to safety concerns. Modern vehicles are typically equipped with expensive sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, and radars to reduce the risk of accidents. However, these sensors face inherent limitations: their field of view and line of sight can be obstructed by other vehicles, thereby reducing situational awareness. In this context, vehicle-to-vehicle communication plays a crucial role, as it enables cars to share information and rema…

Pooling Probabilistic Forecasts for Cooperative Wind Power Offering
Wind power producers can benefit from forming coalitions to participate cooperatively in electricity markets. To support such collaboration, various profit allocation rules rooted in cooperative game theory have been proposed. However, existing approaches overlook the lack of coherence among producers regarding forecast information, which may lead to ambiguity in offering and allocations. In this paper, we introduce a ``reconcile-then-optimize'' framework for cooperative market offerings. This …

Fair Kernel-Lock-Free Claim/Release Protocol for Shared Object Access in Cooperatively Scheduled Runtimes
We present the first spin-free, kernel-lock-free mutex that cooperates with user-mode schedulers and is formally proven FIFO-fair and linearizable using CSP/FDR. Our fairness oracle and stability-based proof method are reusable across coroutine runtime designs. We designed the claim/release protocol for a process-oriented language -- ProcessJ -- to manage the race for claiming shared inter-process communication channels. Internally, we use a lock-free queue to park waiting processes for gaining…

There’s this place we walk by pretty regularly that’s semi-abandoned. The owner replaces parts when they fall off and there are lights at night, but the front and back have been left to return to nature. This chunk of land is worth ~$2.5M Canadian, so an odd situation. Anyhow, I enjoy watching the progress of the informal small-scale rewilding.

Sometimes hacking a computer means a whole different thing...
In this use, I'm actually hacking (with a hacksaw) the case apart to add an I/O shield (custom made) so I can fit an older motherboard that was not designed for this case.
And thank you to Gateway for making me do this by not using a removable shield and instead stamping every hole they needed and covering them with a sticker if they weren't on this model. 🤦‍♂️

A Systematic North-South asymmetry in the Steady-state Climate of rapidly-rotating Oblique Water Worlds
Planetary obliquity (axial tilt) plays an important role in regulating the climate evolution and habitability of water-covered planets. Despite the suspicion of large obliquities in several exoplanetary systems, this phenomenon remains hard to observe directly. We aimed to study the effect of mass, obliquity, and rotation on the steady state climate of water-covered planets. We simulated the climate evolution of such planets with varying obliquities, rotational speed, and mass using a general c…
