The judgments of human beings can be biased; they can also be noisy. Across a wide range of settings, use of algorithms is likely to improve accuracy, because algorithms will reduce both bias and noise. Indeed, algorithms can help identify the role of human biases; they might even identify biases...

The study aims to investigate the financial technology (FinTech) factors influencing Chinese banking performance. Financial expectations and global realities may be changed by FinTech's multidimensional scope, which is lacking in the traditional financial sector. The use of technology to...

This study examines how algorithmic trading (AT) affects forward-looking disclosures in Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) of annual reports. We predict and find evidence that AT relates negatively to modifications in year-over-year forward-looking MD&A disclosures. This evidence is...

In respect to racial discrimination in lending, we introduce global Shapley value and Shapley-Lorenz explainable AI methods to attain algorithmic justice. Using 157,269 loan applications during 2017 in New York, we confirm that these methods, consistent with the parameters of a logistic...

Scheduling problems occur in a broad range of real-world application fields and have attracted a huge set of research articles. However, there is only little research on exact algorithms for scheduling problems, many of which are NP-hard in the strong sense. We investigate the problem on a...

Heuristics for Vector Bin Packing (VBP) play an important role in modern distributed computing systems and other applications aimed at optimizing the usage of multidimensional resources. In this paper we perform a systematic classification of heuristics for VBP. We bring together existing VBP...

This paper proposes several algorithms for calculating fixed-length round trips on directed street networks. Unlike previous approaches, these algorithms do not need to download, process, or store large map databases; instead, the relevant information is collected using a small number of calls...
