The Scientist's Guide to Making Better Decisions

Every day, I make hundreds of decisions in the lab. Which experiment to run first.

Two teams from LIPN will present their joined work at IPMU 2026 👏.
Congratulations to Amal Beldi and Louenas Bounia for their work on Uncertainty-Aware Contextual Recommendation under Possible Worlds Semantics!
This paper proposes a probabilistic framework for uncertainty-aware contextual recommendation grounded in probabilistic database semantics.

In un mercato polarizzato, il bilanciamento è l'unica strategia di gestione del rischio. Vale per le aziende, perché non dovrebbe valere per il voto? #SplitTicket #Strategy #DecisionMaking"

Alright, future engineers!

**Expected Value (E[X]):** The long-run average outcome of a random variable. It's what you 'expect' to happen on average if you repeat an experiment many times.

Ex: For a fair 6-sided die, E[X] = 3.5.
Pro-Tip: Essential for calculating average returns & managing risk!

A quotation from Montaigne

Deliberation, even about the slightest things, annoys me; and I feel my mind harder put to it to endure the various shocks and ups and downs of doubt and deliberation, than to settle down and accept any course whatever, after the die is cast. Few passions have troubled my sleep; but as for deliberations, the slightest one troubles it.
 
[Le deliberer, voire és choses plus legeres, m’importune. Et sens mon esprit plus empesché à souffrir le bransle, & les secousses diverses du doute, & de la consultation, qu’à se rassoir & resoudre à quelque party que ce soit, apres que la chance est livree. Peu de passions m’ont troublé le sommeil ; mais des deliberations, la moindre me le trouble.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Frame (1943)]
