presents the challenges of the uncertainty table. Additional challenges in making an apples-to-apples comparison of the benefit of decreasing noise of different systems (e.g. in pricing information?)
Me
Some good questions following talk, primarily on BNP part.
- Where does the risk-adverse vs risk-prone behavior come from? Adjusting curvature of the uncertainty appropriately.
- Any lessons after stock collapsed, e.g. Rebuild a stock rather than mantain it? (Perhaps, but may face hysteresis in a way the intial collapse does not).
- Brute-force passive learning?
Afternoon discussion
- Is an active learning approach more or less valuable in a changing environment
- Embracing surprise: how do we actually mathematically do this.
- Limitations due to constraints on frequency of updating. (e.g. we don’t get to change harvest, we get to set a TAC once every ten years).
- Uncertainty affecting net present value vs affecting model behavior
