This creates a tradeoff between customer satisfaction and outdating costs since customers want freshness, whereas the retailer desires units be sold within their lifetime.

摘要：Problem definition: Whereas artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms may perform well on data that are representative of the training set (inliers), they may err when extrapolating on nonrepresentative data (outliers). How can humans and algorithms work together to make better decisions when faced with outliers and inliers? Methodology/ results: We study a human-AI collaboration on prediction tasks using a bias adjustment framework and hypothesize that humans tend toward na & iuml;ve adjusting ...

摘要：Problem definition: The configuration of an emergency vehicle fleet (EVF) is critical to ensure that responders have the resources necessary to serve emergencies quickly and help prevent loss of life and property. Determining the fleet's optimal design involves decisions regarding its size, the spatial distribution of the stations, and the extent of collaboration among them. We study the optimal design of a fire service fleet that is characterized by low utilization of the vehicles. The primar...
