Writing in finance : improving the communicative potential of financial analysts' recommendations

Whitehouse, Marlies ; Rocci, Andrea (Dir.) ; Perrin, Daniel (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2022 ; 2022COM001.

This doctoral thesis identifies and analyses problems of text production in finance from three complementary perspectives and explains why solving these problems benefits theory, practice, and society at large. Part I, Problem Identification, outlines the current situation of writing in finance, its problems and their consequences on the financial community and on society at large, entailing...

Understanding A.I. — Can and Should we Empathize with Robots?

Schmetkamp, Susanne

In: Review of Philosophy and Psychology, 2020, vol. 11, p. 881–897

Expanding the debate about empathy with human beings, animals, or fictional characters to include human-robot relationships, this paper proposes two different perspectives from which to assess the scope and limits of empathy with robots: the first is epistemological, while the second is normative. The epistemological approach helps us to clarify whether we can empathize with artificial...

Learning structured neural representations for visual reasoning tasks

van Steenkiste, Sjoerd ; Schmidhuber, Jürgen (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO019.

Deep neural networks learn representations of data to facilitate problem-solving in their respective domains. However, they struggle to acquire a structured representation based on more symbolic entities, which are commonly understood as core abstractions central to human capacity for generalization. This dissertation studies this issue for visual reasoning tasks. Inspired by how humans solve...

NESSi : The Non-Equilibrium Systems Simulation package

Schüler, Michael ; Golež, Denis ; Murakami, Yuta ; Bittner, Nikolaj ; Herrmann, Andreas ; U.R.Strand, Hugo ; Werner, Philipp ; Eckstein, Martin

In: Computer Physics Communications, 2020, vol. 257, no. 2020, p. 107484

The nonequilibrium dynamics of correlated many-particle systems is of interest in connection with pump–probe experiments on molecular systems and solids, as well as theoretical investigations of transport properties and relaxation processes. Nonequilibrium Green’s functions are a powerful tool to study interaction effects in quantum many-particle systems out of equilibrium, and to extract...

Perspectives on the measurement problem : perspectives from the measurement problem

Hansen, Arne ; Wolf, Stefan (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO008.

In quantum mechanics, the measurement problem is commonly regarded as reason for deep concern. It seems that, either, the problem can be solved and there is hope for quantum mechanics, or the theory better be left behind in search of another one. We investigate the prospect of finding a solution to the measurement problem—within quantum mechanics, as well as in theoretical frameworks beyond...

Lattice-based protocols for privacy

Boschini, Cecilia ; Wolf, Stefan (Dir.) ; Camenisch, Jan (Codir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO002.

Privacy and control over data have become a public concern. Simultaneously, the increasing likelihood of the construction of a general purpose quantum computer has led companies and governments to demand for quantum safe alternatives to the protocols used today. New schemes have been elaborated, whose conjectured security against a quantum computer relies on the hardness to solve different...
