From the Top Down: Does Corruption Affect Performance?
Corruption, fraud, and unethical activities have emerged as significant obstacles to global economic, political, and social progress. Although many empirical studies have focused on country-level corruption metrics, this study is the first to utilize a substantial international dataset to assess the effects of illicit and unethical managerial practices on firm performance. Employing cross-sectional data, this research examines the influence of corruption on corporate outcomes. Our definition of corruption evaluates the degree to which managers engage in mismanagement, misconduct, or corrupt activities. The repercussions for corporate governance, especially concerning the process of appointing managers, are both crucial and strategic.

Lost in Transmission: On the Impact of Networking Corruptions on Video Machine Learning Models
We study how networking corruptions--data corruptions caused by networking errors--affect video machine learning (ML) models. We discover apparent networking corruptions in Kinetics-400, a benchmark video ML dataset. In …
Data AugmentationWhen does the Tukey median work?
We analyze the performance of the Tukey median estimator under total variation (TV) distance corruptions. Previous results show that under Huber's additive corruption model, the breakdown point is 1/3 for high-dimensiona…
TTA-Nav: Test-time Adaptive Reconstruction for Point-Goal Navigation under Visual Corruptions
Robot navigation under visual corruption presents a formidable challenge. To address this, we propose a Test-time Adaptation (TTA) method, named as TTA-Nav, for point-goal navigation under visual corruptions. Our "plug-a…
