Using the proximal policy optimization and prospect theory to train a decision-making model for managing personal finances by Vladyslav Didkivskyi, Dmytro Antoniuk, Tetiana Vakaliuk, Yevhen Ohinskyi

“…The tasks can be formulated as follows: 1) design a reinforcement learning environment featuring different investment options with varying average returns and volatility levels; 2) train the reinforcement learning agent using the Proximal Policy Optimization algorithm to learn recommended investment allocations; 3) implement a reward function based on Prospect Theory, incorporating parameters that reflect different investor risk profiles, such as loss aversion and diminishing sensitivity to gains and losses. The results reveal the development of distinct models for 3 investor profiles: risk-averse, rational, and wealth-maximizing. …”

"[T]he rising silhouette of the city" : une poétique des choses urbaines dans "Coming, Aphrodite !" et "The Diamond Mine" de Willa Cather by Céline Manresa

“…Elaborating an analogy between the partially veiled and yet carnal silhouettes of the heroines and the hazy yet concrete contours of the city, Cather’s writing moves from a pictorial to a sculptural dimension. Sensitive to the ever-renewed colours, lights, sounds and shapes of the city, Willa Cather’s literary language is permeated by the intensity of the urban experience, which ultimately paves the way for a poetic encounter between the text and the tangible world of the city.…”
