• Abstract: Factor analysis acts a pivotal role in enhancing maritime safety. Most previous studies conduct factor analysis within the framework of incident-related label prediction, where the developed models can be categorized into short-term and long-term prediction models. The long-term models offer a more strategic approach, enabling more proactive risk management, compared to the short-term ones. Nevertheless, few studies have devoted to rigorously identifying the key factors for the long-term prediction and undertaking comprehensive factor analysis. Hence, this study aims to delve into the key factors for predicting the incident risk levels in the subsequent year given a specific datestamp. The majority of candidate factors potentially contributing to the incident risk are collected from vessels' historical safety performance data spanning up to five years. An improved embedded feature selection, which integrates Random Forest classifier with a feature filtering process is proposed to identify key risk-contributing factors from the candidate pool. The results demonstrate superior performance of the proposed method in incident prediction and factor interpretability. Comprehensive analysis is conducted upon the key factors, which could help maritime stakeholders formulate management strategies for incident prevenion.

  We focus on how likely it is that a RAG model's prediction is incorrect, resulting in uncontrollable risks in real-world applications. Our research identifies two critical latent factors affecting RAG's confidence in its predictions. We develop a counterfactual prompting framework that induces the models to alter these factors and analyzes the effect on their answers.

  Representing uncertainty in causal discovery is a crucial component for experimental design, and more broadly, for safe and reliable causal decision making. Unlike non-Bayesian causal discovery, which relies on a single estimated causal graph and model parameters for assessment, causal discovery presents challenges due to the nature of its quantity. No consensus on the most suitable metric for evaluation.

We derive the first minimax lower bounds for off-policy CDF and risk estimation, which match our error bounds up to a constant factor.

  This paper presents a novel bi-level machine learning framework enhanced with outlier removal and intra-extra joint optimisation. We use incident data logs to develop a binary classification prediction approach, which allows us to classify traffic incidents as short-term or long-term. We find the optimal threshold between short-term versus long-term traffic incident duration, targeting both class balance and prediction performance.

• Two steps to risk sensitivity [4.974890682815778]
  conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) is a risk measure for modeling human and animal planning. We adopt a conventional distributional approach to CVaR in a sequential setting and reanalyze the choices of human decision-makers. We then consider a further critical property of risk sensitivity, namely time consistency, showing alternatives to this form of CVaR.
