The fields of financial decision making, 3D scene reconstruction, and autonomous systems are experiencing significant advancements. Researchers are incorporating concepts from prospect theory and irrationality to better capture real-world decision-making behaviors. The use of machine learning and reinforcement learning techniques is also becoming increasingly popular, allowing for more accurate predictions and adaptations to changing market conditions. Notable papers include Risk-aware black-box portfolio construction using Bayesian optimization with adaptive weighted Lagrangian estimator and Seeing Through Risk: A Symbolic Approximation of Prospect Theory. In the field of 3D reconstruction, novel approaches to Gaussian Splatting and Neural Radiance Fields are being explored, enabling more accurate and efficient reconstruction of complex scenes. The field of autonomous vehicle navigation is moving towards more integrated and adaptive frameworks, with a focus on navigating non-linear road geometries and handling dynamic obstacles. Noteworthy papers include A novel approach to autonomous vehicle navigation that integrates artificial potential fields, Frenet coordinates, and improved particle swarm optimization and An extended horizon tactical decision-making approach for automated driving based on Monte Carlo Tree Search. The field of collective decision-making is also witnessing significant advancements, with a focus on developing more nuanced and adaptive approaches to voting, consensus-building, and probability aggregation. Overall, these advancements have the potential to significantly improve the performance and safety of various applications, including finance, robotics, and autonomous driving.
