Irreversibility and entropy production in transport phenomena, II: Statistical–mechanical theory on steady states including thermal disturbance and energy supply

Suzuki, Masuo - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 391 (2012) 4, pp. 1074-1086

Some general aspects of nonlinear transport phenomena are discussed on the basis of two kinds of formulations obtained by extending Kubo’s perturbational scheme of the density matrix and Zubarev’s non-equilibrium statistical operator formulation. Both formulations are extended up to infinite...

Learning from Partial Labels with Minimum Entropy

Grandvalet, Yves; Bengio, Yoshua - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2004

This paper introduces the minimum entropy regularizer for learning from partial labels. This learning problem … in favor of minimum entropy when the generative model is slightly misspecified. Finally, the robustness of the learning … scheme is demonstrated: in situations where unlabeled examples do not convey information, minimum entropy returns a solution …

Valuing variable annuity guarantees with the multivariate Esscher transform

Ng, Andrew Cheuk-Yin; Li, Johnny Siu-Hang - In: Insurance: Mathematics and Economics 49 (2011) 3, pp. 393-400

Variable annuities are usually sold with a range of guarantees that protect annuity holders from some downside market risk. Although it is common to see variable annuity guarantees written on multiple funds, existing pricing methods are, by and large, based on stochastic processes for one single...

ESTIMATING THE MINIMUM ENTROPY OF CHINESE AND JAPANESE LANGUAGES

REN, FUJI; YEN, KANG - In: International Journal of Information Technology & … 04 (2005) 04, pp. 679-689

The study of minimum entropy of a natural language has been an interesting research subject. For English, great … conservation of information quantity, we proposed a method which can be used to estimate the minimum entropy of characters in … natural languages. With a large quantity of translation corpus, this method enables us to estimate the minimum entropy without …

Probabilistic Inversion of Expert Judgments in the Quantification of Model Uncertainty

Kraan, Bernd; Bedford, Tim - In: Management Science 51 (2005) 6, pp. 995-1006

Expert judgment is frequently used to assess parameter values of quantitative management science models, particularly in decision-making contexts. Experts can, however, only be expected to assess observable quantities, not abstract model parameters. This means that we need a method for...
