Trip recommendation has emerged as a highly sought-after service over the past decade. Although current studies significantly understand human intention consistency, they struggle with undesired repetitive outcomes that need resolution. We…
This is a set of notes on phase transitions and critical phenomena prepared to accompany my lectures for the RHIC '97 summer school, held at Brookhaven from July 6 to 16, 1997.
One's profession is an essential part of modern life. Traditionally, professional development has been criticized for excluding people with disabilities. People with visual impairments, for example, face disproportionately low employment…
I begin with an anecdote, and then discuss my recent work on anomalies in spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ theories.
Random walks with memory typically involve rules where a preference for either revisiting or avoiding those sites visited in the past are introduced somehow. Such effects have a direct consequence on the statistics of first-passage and…
The rapid expansion of the on-demand economy has profoundly reshaped urban mobility and logistics, yet high-resolution trajectory data on delivery riders' consistent movements remains scarce. Here, we present a city-scale, high-resolution…
This study examines the historical evolution of interdisciplinary research (IDR) over a 40-year period, focusing on its dynamic trends, phases, and key turning points. We apply time series analysis to identify critical years for…
With the focus that cities around the world have put on sustainable transportation during the past few years, biking has become one of the foci for local governments around the world. Cities all over the world invest in bike infrastructure,…
As social and socially assistive robots are becoming more prevalent in our society, it is beneficial to understand how people form first impressions of them and eventually come to trust and accept them. This paper describes an Amazon…
Persi Diaconis was born in New York on January 31, 1945. Upon receiving a Ph.D. from Harvard in 1974 he was appointed Assistant Professor at Stanford. Following periods as Professor at Harvard (1987-1997) and Cornell (1996-1998), he has…
Discussions is a new feature of GitHub for asking questions or discussing topics outside of specific Issues or Pull Requests. Before being available to all projects in December 2020, it had been tested on selected open source software…
People interact face-to-face on a frequent basis if (i) they live nearby and (ii) make the choice to meet. The first constitutes an availability of social ties; the second a propensity to interact with those ties. Despite being distinct…
Humans, as both pedestrians and drivers, generally skillfully navigate traffic intersections. Despite the uncertainty, danger, and the non-verbal nature of communication commonly found in these interactions, there are surprisingly few…
The following random process on $\Z^4$ is studied. At first visit to a site, the two first coordinates perform a (2-dimensional) simple random walk step. At further visits, it is the last two coordinates which perform a simple random walk…
Haim Judah has asked me to speak on the future of set theory, so, as the next millennium is coming, to speak on set theory in the next millennium. But we soon cut this down to set theory in the next century. Later on I thought I had better…
The 15th Conference on Theoretical Aspects of Rationality and Knowledge (TARK) took place in Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA from June 4 to 6, 2015. The mission of the TARK conferences is to bring together researchers from a…
Bike sharing is an increasingly popular mobility choice as it is a sustainable, healthy and economically viable transportation mode. By interpreting rides between bike stations over time as temporal events connecting two bike stations,…
Understanding why certain individuals work well (or poorly) together as a team is a key research focus in the psychological and behavioral sciences and a fundamental problem for team-based organizations. Nevertheless, we have a limited…
At an AAPT conference years ago, a person noticed my badge, exclaiming "I always wanted to work at Foothill College!" They told me that in the 1960s, Foothill had a lecture hall where students as a class could give immediate feedback to…
Rendezvous aims at gathering all robots at a specific location, which is an important collaborative behavior for multi-robot systems. However, in an unknown environment, it is challenging to achieve rendezvous. Previous researches mainly…
