We consider the problem of Adverse Selection and optimal derivative design within a Principal-Agent framework. The principal’s income is exposed to non-hedgeable risk factors ar...
A variety of information extraction techniques rely on the fact that instances of the same relation are "distributionally similar," in that they tend to appear in simila...
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are a powerful probabilistic tool for modeling sequential data, and have been applied with success to many text-related tasks, such as part-of-speech t...
