Discounted Subjective Expected Utility in Continuous Time
By embedding uncertainty into time, we obtain a conjoint axiomatic characterization of both Exponential Discounting and Subjective Expected Utility that accommodates arbitrary state and outcome spaces. In doing so, we provide a novel and simple time-interpretation of subjective probability. The subjective probability of an event is calibrated using time discounting.

Time discounting under uncertainty
We study intertemporal decision making under uncertainty. We fully characterize discounted expected utility in a framework \`a la Savage. Despite the popularity of this model, no characterization is available in this set…

Categorizing continuous data into discrete bins is a fundamental operation in artificial intelligence. We introduce the categorizer automaton, a deterministic automaton that reads an infinite sequence of rewards and iden…

The success of a Large Language Model (LLM) task depends heavily on its prompt. Most use-cases specify prompts using natural language, which is inherently ambiguous when multiple objectives must be simultaneously satisfi…

Ramsey (1926) sketches a proposal for measuring the subjective probabilities of an agent by their observable preferences, assuming that the agent is an expected utility maximizer. I show how to extend the spirit of Ramse…
A Savage-Like Axiomatization for Nonstandard Expected Utility
