Important article here. Is yimby success distorting inflation statistics?
Here's the issue: Legalizing apartments increases supply of apartments but not of 1-family houses. So it will lower rent on apts more than on houses.
For owner-occupied housing, cost-of-living index measures the cost of renting a similar home. So housing cost index reflects mostly 1-family house rents, even though renters live more in apartments.

Contracts with Inspections
In the classical principal-agent hidden-action model, a principal delegates the execution of a costly task to an agent for which he can choose among actions with different costs and different success probabilities to accomplish the task. To incentivize the agent to exert effort, the principal can commit to a contract, which is the amount of payment based on the task's success. A crucial assumption of this model is that the principal can only base the payment on the outcome but not on the agent'…

Multi-modal fusion is vital to the success of super-resolution of depth images. However, commonly used fusion strategies, such as addition and concatenation, fall short of effectively bridging the modal gap.

Learning Traffic Signal Control via Genetic Programming
The control of traffic signals is crucial for improving transportation efficiency. Recently, learning-based methods, especially Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), garnered substantial success in the quest for more efficient traffic signal control strategies. However, the design of rewards in DRL highly demands domain knowledge to converge to an effective policy, and the final policy also presents difficulties in terms of explainability. In this work, a new learning-based method for signal contr…

AFDGCF: Adaptive Feature De-correlation Graph Collaborative Filtering for Recommendations
Collaborative filtering methods based on graph neural networks (GNNs) have witnessed significant success in recommender systems (RS), capitalizing on their ability to capture collaborative signals within intricate user-item relationships via message-passing mechanisms. However, these GNN-based RS inadvertently introduce excess linear correlation between user and item embeddings, contradicting the goal of providing personalized recommendations. While existing research predominantly ascribes this…

Ellipsoidal embeddings of graphs
Due to their flexibility to represent almost any kind of relational data, graph-based models have enjoyed a tremendous success over the past decades. While graphs are inherently only combinatorial objects, however, many prominent analysis tools are based on the algebraic representation of graphs via matrices such as the graph Laplacian, or on associated graph embeddings. Such embeddings associate to each node a set of coordinates in a vector space, a representation which can then be employed fo…

Modal-adaptive Knowledge-enhanced Graph-based Financial Prediction from Monetary Policy Conference Calls with LLM
Financial prediction from Monetary Policy Conference (MPC) calls is a new yet challenging task, which targets at predicting the price movement and volatility for specific financial assets by analyzing multimodal information including text, video, and audio. Although the existing work has achieved great success using cross-modal transformer blocks, it overlooks the potential external financial knowledge, the varying contributions of different modalities to financial prediction, as well as the in…

Provably Robust Score-Based Diffusion Posterior Sampling for Plug-and-Play Image Reconstruction
In a great number of tasks in science and engineering, the goal is to infer an unknown image from a small number of measurements collected from a known forward model describing certain sensing or imaging modality. Due to resource constraints, this task is often extremely ill-posed, which necessitates the adoption of expressive prior information to regularize the solution space. Score-based diffusion models, due to its impressive empirical success, have emerged as an appealing candidate of an ex…

LOOPer: A Learned Automatic Code Optimizer For Polyhedral Compilers
While polyhedral compilers have shown success in implementing advanced code transformations, they still have challenges in selecting the most profitable transformations that lead to the best speedups. This has motivated the use of machine learning to build cost models to guide the search for polyhedral optimizations. State-of-the-art polyhedral compilers have demonstrated a viable proof-of-concept of this approach. While such a proof-of-concept has shown promise, it still has significant limita…

Dallas Cowboys draft Marshawn Kneeland: How he fits, pick grade and scouting intel
The Dallas Cowboys selected Western Michigan edge Marshawn Kneeland with pick No. 56 in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. A former two-star recruit who moved across the state of Michigan midway through his prep career, Kneeland was a JV receiver/safety before moving up to defensive line as a varsity player. He stayed there and found success a skinny, long, fast pass rusher. Kneeland, 22, gained roughly 40 pounds throughout his high school career and only grew from there — he’s now 6-f…

Day 1 of our classroom's digital detox was a huge success. Students focused on the activity, they actually discussed as a class, and they completed an expected amount of work in a class period.
Students struggled with the idea that they 1) couldn't look at their grades to decide if they needed to do this activity, 2) couldn't ctrl-F the paper reading, and 3) couldn't copy and paste answers from Google.
Overall, the experience was a 10/10. 😍

Picking the best Round 2 draft targets for the Cowboys ahead of the 2024 NFL Combine
If there's one thing Dallas Cowboys fans should fear more than facing the Green Bay Packers or San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs, it's entering the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The team has had very little success in this particular round for several reasons, including a surprisingly aggressive approach in which they are more willing to take risky swings on high-upside prospects, i.e. Randy Gregory, Jaylon Smith, Kelvin Joseph, among others. Even when they're not rolling the dice, hits…

Generative Recommendation: Towards Next-generation Recommender Paradigm
Recommender systems typically retrieve items from an item corpus for personalized recommendations. However, such a retrieval-based recommender paradigm faces two limitations: 1) the human-generated items in the corpus might fail to satisfy the users' diverse information needs, and 2) users usually adjust the recommendations via inefficient passive feedback, e.g., clicks. Nowadays, AI-Generated Content (AIGC) has revealed significant success, offering the potential to overcome these limitations:…

Programmers Prefer Individually Assigned Tasks vs. Shared Responsibility
In traditional management, tasks are typically assigned to individuals, with each worker taking full responsibility for the success or failure of a task. In contrast, modern Agile, Lean, and eXtreme Programming practices advocate for shared responsibility, where an entire group is accountable for the outcome of a project or task. Despite numerous studies in other domains, the preferences of programmers have not been thoroughly analyzed. To address this gap, we conducted a survey featuring seven…
