Estimation of Static Discrete Choice Models Using Market Level DataNBER
This document discusses methods for estimating static discrete choice models using market-level data rather than individual consumer data. It covers several key topics:
1) The types of market-level and consumer-level data that can be used. Market-level data is easier to obtain but poses challenges for identification and estimation.
2) A common linear random coefficients logit model framework. It includes observed and unobserved product characteristics as well as observed and unobserved consumer heterogeneity.
3) The key challenges of estimating heterogeneity parameters without consumer-level data. It also discusses how to deal with potential endogeneity of unobserved product characteristics.
4) The two-step estimation approach when consumer-level data is available, and
A Novel Metaheuristics To Solve Mixed Shop Scheduling Problems ijfcstjournal
This paper proposes a novel metaheuristic approach called Ant Inspired Bacterial Foraging Optimization (ABFO) to solve Mixed Shop Scheduling problems. Mixed Shop Scheduling combines elements of Job Shop, Flow Shop, and Open Shop scheduling and is NP-hard. The ABFO algorithm hybridizes Bacterial Foraging Optimization with principles from Ant Colony Optimization to guide the search for optimal solutions. Computational results on benchmark instances show the ABFO algorithm performs better than existing algorithms at minimizing makespan for Mixed Shop Scheduling problems.
The document summarizes research on synthesizing and characterizing fluorinated yttrium barium copper oxide (Y3Ba5Cu8Oy) superconducting compounds. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the compounds had an orthorhombic structure similar to YBa2Cu3O7, with a larger 'c' axis. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the grain size increased with higher fluorine content. Transition temperature measurements found the superconducting transition onset temperature increased with fluorine addition up to 0.6, likely due to optimization of oxygen stoichiometry, but saturated beyond that point due to disturbance of the optimum oxygen level. Overall, fluorine doping improved the superconducting properties of the samples.

This document presents a method for interactive image segmentation using constrained active contours. It begins with an overview of existing interactive segmentation techniques, including boundary-based methods like active contours/snakes and region-based methods like random walks and graph cuts. The proposed method initializes a contour using region-based segmentation then refines it using a convex active contour model that incorporates both regional information from seed pixels and boundary smoothness. This allows the contour to globally evolve to object boundaries while handling topology changes.
The document analyzes friction stir welding tools with various threaded pin profiles. Three tool pin profiles are modeled in CATIA and analyzed using ANSYS: cylindrical, frustum, and conical pins with threads. The stress distributions and displacement vectors in the pins are obtained for different rotational speeds and temperatures. The results show that the cylindrical pin profile experiences the lowest stress levels and displacement compared to the other profiles. Increasing rotational speed does not significantly affect the stress, while higher temperatures generally increase stress across all pin profiles. The cylindrical pin profile is determined to be preferable for withstanding loads during friction stir welding.

This paper presents the concept of objective landscape in the context of Constraint Programming. An objective landscape is a light-weight structure providing some information on the relation between decision variables and objective values, that can be quickly computed once and for all at the beginning of the resolution and is used to guide the search. It is particularly useful on decision variables with large domains and with a continuous semantics, which is typically the case for time or resource quantity variables in scheduling problems. This concept was recently implemented in the automatic search of CP Optimizer and resulted in an average speed-up of about 50% on scheduling problems with up to almost 2 orders of magnitude for some applications.
The Comprehensive Product Platform Planning (CP3) framework presents a flexible mathematical model of the platform planning process, which allows (i) the formation of sub-families of products, and (ii) the simultaneous identification and quantification of plat- form/scaling design variables. The CP3 model is founded on a generalized commonality matrix that represents the product platform plan, and yields a mixed binary-integer non- linear programming problem. In this paper, we develop a methodology to reduce the high dimensional binary integer problem to a more tractable integer problem, where the com- monality matrix is represented by a set of integer variables. Subsequently, we determine the feasible set of values for the integer variables in the case of families with 3 − 7 kinds of products. The cardinality of the feasible set is found to be orders of magnitude smaller than the total number of unique combinations of the commonality variables. In addition, we also present the development of a generalized approach to Mixed-Discrete Non-Linear Optimization (MDNLO) that can be implemented through standard non-gradient based op- timization algorithms. This MDNLO technique is expected to provide a robust and compu- tationally inexpensive optimization framework for the reduced CP3 model. The generalized approach to MDNLO uses continuous optimization as the primary search strategy, how- ever, evaluates the system model only at the feasible locations in the discrete variable space.

A product family with a common platform paradigm can increase the flexibility and responsiveness of the product- manufacturing process and help take away market share from competitors that develop one product at a time. The recently developed Comprehensive Product Platform Planning (CP3 ) method allows (i) the formation of sub-families of products, and (ii) the simultaneous identification and quantification of platform/scaling design variables. The CP3 model is founded on a generalized commonality matrix representation of the product-platform-plan. In this paper, a new commonality index is developed and introduced in CP3 to simultaneously account for the degree of inter-product commonalities and for the overlap between groups of products sharing different platform variables. To maximize both the performance of the product family and the new commonality measure, we develop and apply an advanced mixed-discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (MDPSO) algorithm. In the MDPSO algo- rithm, the discrete variables are updated using a deterministic nearest-feasible-vertex criterion after each iteration of the conventional PSO. Such an approach is expected to avoid the undesirable discrepancy in the rate of evolution of discrete and continuous variables. To prevent a premature stagnation of solutions (likely in conventional PSO), while solving the high dimensional MINLP problem presented by CP3, we introduce a new adaptive diversity-preservation technique. This technique first characterizes the population diversity and then applies a stochastic update of the discrete variables based on the estimated diversity measure. The potential of the new CP3 optimization methodology is illustrated through its application to design a family of universal electric motors. The optimized platform plans provide helpful insights into the importance of accounting for the overlap between different product platforms, when quantifying the effective commonality in the product family.
This document provides an introduction to multi-objective optimization problems (MOOPs). It defines the key components of an optimization problem including objectives to minimize or maximize, constraints, and design variables. For MOOPs, there are two or more objectives. Solving an MOOP is challenging because optimizing one objective may compromise others and the objectives may conflict. MOOPs typically have a set of trade-off optimal solutions, known as Pareto optimal solutions, rather than a single optimal solution. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) like genetic algorithms (GAs) can be adapted to find Pareto optimal solutions to MOOPs.

This document discusses passive and active measurements for studying cybersecurity risk parameters. It covers the following key points in 3 sentences:
Passive measurements involve analyzing existing empirical data sources to study interdependencies between information security in different sectors and regions without directly interacting with systems. Theoretical active measurements involve designing observable stochastic processes to model dynamics of security risks like default risks and value changes over time for digital objects based on factors like compromise rates. Empirical studies on inter-sector and inter-regional information security used datasets like economic transaction data and security survey responses to analyze how risks in one area could influence others.

Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of Supersonic Transport Wing Using Surr...Masahiro Kanazaki
The document summarizes research on the multidisciplinary design optimization of supersonic transport wing concepts. The objectives were to develop an efficient MDO tool for conceptual design of SST wings using low-cost computational fluid dynamics and surrogate modeling. 107 design samples were evaluated for aerodynamic performance, sonic boom levels, and wing weight. 24 non-dominated solutions were identified, with the best designs having thinner root airfoils, larger inboard sweep angles, or modified tail angles compared to a baseline compromised design. Analysis of variance identified key design variables with the most influence on objectives.
This document describes a senior project to improve the pivot point selection algorithm in the simplex method for linear programming. It provides background on the history and development of the simplex method by George Dantzig in the 1940s. It then explains the current standard process for performing the simplex method, including setting up the linear program, identifying the pivot column and element, and performing the pivot steps. The project aims to identify a flaw in the current pivot rule and develop a new algorithm to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the simplex method.
Development of a family of products that satisfies different sectors of the market introduces significant challenges to today’s manufacturing industries – from development time to aftermarket services. A product family with a common platform paradigm offers a powerful solution to these daunting challenges. The Comprehensive Product Platform Planning (CP3) framework formulates a flexible product family model that (i) seeks to eliminate traditional boundaries between modular and scalable families, (ii) allows the formation of sub-families of products, and (iii) yield the optimal depth and number of platforms. In this paper, the CP3 framework introduces a solution strategy that obviates common assumptions; namely (i) the identification of platform/non-platform design variables and the determination of variable values are separate processes, and (ii) the cost reduction of creating product platforms is independent of the total number of each product manufactured. A new Cost Decay Function (CDF) is developed to approximate the reduction in cost with increasing commonalities among products, for a specified capacity of production. The Mixed Integer Non-Liner Programming (MINLP) problem, presented by the CP3 model, is solved using a novel Platform Segregating Mapping Function (PSMF). The proposed CP3 framework is implemented on a family of universal electric motors.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
