Bidding Machine: Learning to Bid for Directly Optimizing Profits in Display Advertising
TL;DR: This paper proposes Bidding Machine, a comprehensive learning to bid framework, which consists of three optimizers dealing with each challenge above, and as a whole, jointly optimizes these three parts, and shows that such a joint optimization would largely increase the campaign effectiveness and the profit.

Probabilistic effects in data selection
TL;DR: The authors investigated the effects of probability manipulations on the indicative four card selection task (Wason, 1966, 1968) and found that probabilistic effects were consistent with some probabilism accounts but not with non-probabilistic approaches to selection task performance.

Cue combination in human spatial navigation.
TL;DR: Across all four experiments, consistent correlations were found between observed weights assigned to cues and relative reliability of cues, demonstrating that the cue-weighting process followed Bayesian principles.

Stopped Myopic Policies in Some Inventory Models with Generalized Demand Processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered single-item inventory systems with immediate delivery and no economies of scale and provided bounds on the value loss relative to optimal cost for restricting attention to the class of inventory stocking policies that behave myopically up to a specified stopping time.

Estimation of scale parameter under entropy loss function
Ahmad Parsian,Nader Nematollahi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an explicit form of minimum risk scale-equivariant estimator under entropy loss is obtained, with restrictions to the principles of invariance and risk unbiasedness.
