While learning with limited labelled data can improve performance when the labels are lacking, it is also sensitive to the effects of uncontrolled randomness introduced by so-called randomness factors (e.g., varying order of data). We…

We explore a model of duopolistic competition in which consumers learn about the fit of each competitor's product. In equilibrium, consumers comparison shop: they learn only about the relative values of the products. When information is…

A new understanding of adversarial examples and adversarial robustness is proposed by decoupling the data generator and the label generator (which we call the teacher). In our framework, adversarial robustness is a conditional concept---the…
