Recent progress in camera systems, image analysis, and machine learning have made optical-based gesture recognition a more attractive option in most contexts. However, current methods are hindered by ...

We leverage insights from machine learning to optimize the tradeoff between bias and variance when estimating economic models using pooled datasets. Specifically, we develop a simple algorithm that ...

“To me, an algorithm is any piece of automated code that accepts some number of variables and data, [then] uses those variables and data to make decisions. But that’s the boring computer science ...
