Estimating Financial Information Asymmetry In Real Estate Transactions In China: An Application Of Two-Tier Frontier Model, Ganlin Pu, Ying Zhang, Li-Chen Chou

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This study applies the two-tier stochastic frontier model to estimate the distribution of housing transaction information in Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Ningbo, and Jinhua (four cities in Zhejiang Province, China) during the year 2018, to analyze the difference in the price information acquired by the buyers and sellers in the transaction, and the effect of information asymmetry on the transaction price. The empirical results show that in each city, during the housing transaction process, the supplier has more complete information about house prices than consumers, and can therefore implement price discrimination strategies in setting service prices. Due to the disadvantage in acquired …

Published and Grey Literature from PhD Candidates

Recent advances in Natural Language Processing have led to powerful and sophisticated models like BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) that have bias. These models are mostly trained on text corpora that deviate in important ways from the text encountered by a chatbot in a problem-specific context. While a lot of research in the past has focused on measuring and mitigating bias with respect to protected attributes (stereotyping like gender, race, ethnicity, etc.), there is lack of research in model bias with respect to classification labels. We investigate whether a classification model hugely favors one class with respect to another. …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We tackle the problem of domain adaptation for inertial sensing-based human activity recognition (HAR) applications -i.e., in developing mechanisms that allow a classifier trained on sensor samples collected under a certain narrow context to continue to achieve high activity recognition accuracy even when applied to other contexts. This is a problem of high practical importance as the current requirement of labeled training data for adapting such classifiers to every new individual, device, or on-body location is a major roadblock to community-scale adoption of HAR-based applications. We particularly investigate the possibility of ensuring robust classifier operation, without requiring any new labeled …

While Math Word Problem (MWP) solving has emerged as a popular field of study and made great progress in recent years, most existing methods are benchmarked solely on one or two datasets and implemented with different configurations. In this paper, we introduce the first open-source library for solving MWPs called MWPToolkit, which provides a unified, comprehensive, and extensible framework for the research purpose. Specifically, we deploy 17 deep learning-based MWP solvers and 6 MWP datasets in our toolkit. These MWP solvers are advanced models for MWP solving, covering the categories of Seq2seq, Seq2Tree, Graph2Tree, and Pre-trained Language Models. And these …


Coordinated Delivery To Shopping Malls With Limited Docking Capacity, Ruidian Song, Hoong Chuin Lau, Xue Luo, Lei Zhao Mar 2022

Coordinated Delivery To Shopping Malls With Limited Docking Capacity, Ruidian Song, Hoong Chuin Lau, Xue Luo, Lei Zhao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Shopping malls are densely located in major cities such as Singapore and Hong Kong. Tenants in these shopping malls generate a large number of freight orders to their contracted logistics service providers, who independently plan their own delivery schedules. These uncoordinated deliveries and limited docking capacity jointly cause congestion at the shopping malls. A delivery coordination platform centrally plans the vehicle routes for the logistics service providers and simultaneously schedules the dock time slots at the shopping malls for the delivery orders. Vehicle routing and dock scheduling decisions need to be made jointly against the backdrop of travel time and …

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The excessive amount of data and information in the situation map is likely to produce a huge cognitive load that exceeds the physiological limit. This can lead to delays in the perception, judgment, and decision-making of the commander, or even failure of decision-making activities in severe cases. For this reason, situation information needs to be processed to assess and highlight situational hotspots so that cognitive overload can be tackled. Based on the aggregation factors of collaborative targets, this paper takes the effective impact possibility of situational targets and the collaboration as the indicators, derives the attention function, and designs …
