To design a model dealing with specific tasks, a natural starting point is to specify an appropriate utility (reward) function and optimize it. However, in practice, there are many factors that require attention when making decisions. This work mainly considers two factors: risk and uncertainty, and aims to study decision making through an information-theoretic lens, developing algorithms and interpretations for optimizing risk-sensitive utility functions under uncertainty.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\n1. 1968 - Mossin - Optimal Multiperiod Portfolio Policies<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.jstor.org/stable/2351447\">https://www.jstor.org/stable/2351447</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n2. 1984 - Cover - An Algorithm for Maximizing Expected Log Investment Return<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1056869\">https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1056869</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n3. 2019 - Bleuler-Lapidoth-Pfister - Gambling and Rényi Divergence<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8849800\">https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8849800</a><br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-04-14T14:29:53", "last_modification_date": "2026-04-20T21:12:06", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BC 133", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BC%20133", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "Bo-Yu Yang", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDIC candidacy exam", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120375/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/48/?format=api" ] } ] }
