Bandit Algorithms: Fairness, Welfare, and Applications in Causal Inference
We study regret in online learning from a welfarist perspective and explore an application of
bandit algorithms in causal inference. We introduce Nash regret, which measures the difference
between the optimal action ...
Rational Secure Computation: New Definitions and Constructions
Cryptography and Game Theory are two fascinating areas of modern computing, and there have been numerous works since the early 2000s to bridge these. While cryptography provides mechanisms to detect deviations, game theory ...
Automatic Speech Recognition Solutions For Resource Constrained Devices
The current realm of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems, pivotal in applications ranging from voice assistants to transcription services and assistive technologies, requires an improvement when confronted with ...
Developmental Studies on a Multistage Induction Coilgun-Based Electromagnetic Launcher
The archetypal chemical propellant-based launchers (e.g., guns, missiles, spacecraft launchers, etc.) with their hot trailing plume (hence, known as the “hot-launching system”) has been widely deployed over the decades by ...
Design and Development of Optical Modality-based Probe for Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Breast Cancer is the leading cause of mortality among women worldwide. The key to efficiently controlling cancer on a larger scale is effective diagnosis at an early stage by distinguishing the vital signatures of the ...
Exploring Fairness and Causality in Online Decision-Making
Online decision-making under uncertainty is a fundamental aspect of numerous real-world problems across various domains, including online resource allocation, crowd-sourcing, and online advertising. Multi-Armed Bandits ...
Frequent Episode Mining: Efficient Discovery Algorithms and Significance Analysis
Frequent Pattern mining is a popular area of data mining, where the goal is to unearth interesting patterns that occur often in a given data. A pattern is a local structure that captures correlations and dependencies present ...
First-principles Based Investigation of the Adsorption and Optoelectronic Properties of Polymorphic Borophene
The discovery of graphene has prompted interest in other two-dimensional materials, especially borophene, which is a single layer of boron atoms that forms a variety of crystal shapes. Borophene, the lightest member of the ...
Estimation of flashovers in the EHV/UHV lines on the east coast due to lightning produced by the Bay of Bengal cyclones
Electric Power is imperative for the modern world. The quality and reliability of the power supply can be impaired by several factors. Lightning is one such natural threat that disrupts the continuity of supply and can ...
Audio-Visual association learning in Humans and Multimodal Networks
We easily learn audiovisual associations when we give visual objects their names. While humans
easily learn the names of new objects while retaining previously learned information, deep neural
networks forget old ...
