Study finds police misconduct ‘hotspots’ across Florida

Researchers identified 24 categories of police misconduct, including officer failure to report and perjury, sexual-related crimes, and drug offenses. Findings show that a small number of counties account for most of the incidents and relative harm, highlighting disparities in disciplinary outcomes.

Chung-Ang University researchers develop algorithm for optimal decision making under heavy-tailed noisy rewards

Chung-Ang University researchers propose a new algorithm, MR-UCB and MR-APE, to tackle stochastic multi-armed bandit problems with heavy-tailed noise distributions. The methods guarantee minimal loss for worst-case scenarios with minimal prior information.

Would helping only the least advantaged benefit society as a whole?

A study by Hun Chung questions the assumption that helping the least advantaged benefits society as a whole, finding potential gaps in Rawls' theory. The research suggests that even with an optimal state, further improvements can occur without worsening the situation of the least advantaged group.
