Miguel Villas-Boas, Chair Markets are rich environments for study. Two features in particular make them attrac- tive settings for the study of the roles of information. First, they are often characterized by a significant amount of uncertainty, an essential ingredient for information to be relevant. Second, strategic interactions abound. Each chapter of this dissertation uses a different ‘lens’ so as to focus on particular roles of information in strategic market settings. First, information is considered in its pure ‘aid to decision-making’ role, in which agents use it to improve their decisions, not only based on the expected future conditions but also on the expected actions of the other agents which in turn depend on the information they are likely to hold.

From helping with making informed decisions about a new movie script with respect to aspects such as its origi- nality, similarity to other movies, or even commercial viability, all the way to offering consumers new and interesting ways of viewing the final movie, many stages in the life-cycle of a movie stand to benefit from Machine Learning techniques that promise to reduce human effort, time, or both.

  • Hotel Rwanda Production Notes
    When the world closed its eyes, he opened his arms… PRODUCTION NOTES Ten years ago, some of the worst atrocities of the twentieth century took place in the central African nation of Rwanda – yet in an era of high-speed communication and round-the- clock news, the events went almost unnoticed by the rest of the world. Over one hundred days, almost one million people were brutally murdered by their own countrymen. In the midst of this genocide, one ordinary man, a hotel manager named Paul Rusesabagina – inspired by his love for his family and his humanity – summoned extraordinary courage and saved the lives of 1268 refugees by hiding them inside the Milles Collines hotel in Kigali. Hotel Rwanda is Paul’s remarkable story. United Artists is proud to present Don Cheadle, Sophie Okonedo, Joaquin Phoenix, and Nick Nolte in Hotel Rwanda, produced in association with Lions Gate Entertainment, a South Africa/United Kingdom/Italy co-production in association with The Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa, a Miracle Pictures/Seamus production produced in association with Inside Track. Directed by Terry George from a script by Keir Pearson & Terry George, Hotel Rwanda was produced by A. Kitman Ho and Terry George; executive produced by Hal Sadoff, Martin F. Katz, Duncan Reid, and Sam Bhembe; co-executive produced by Keir Pearson and Nicolas Meyer; and co-produced by Bridget Pickering and Luigi Musini. Hotel Rwanda’s behind-the-scenes crew includes director of photography Robert Fraisse, production designers Tony Burrough and Johnny Breedt, editor Naomi Geraghty, costume designer Ruy Filipe, and composer Andrea Guerra.

It can be used to influence the decisions of agents which will in turn affect the welfare of the original transmitters, while increasing overall market coordination. Finally, information is considered in its ‘homogenizer’ role, in the sense that actions and preferences may become more similar after its repeated use and subsequent transmission.

Synopsis TWO LOVERS is a classical romantic drama set in the insular world of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. It tells the story of Leonard (JOAQUIN PHOENIX), an attractive but troubled young man who moves back into his childhood home following a suicide attempt. While recovering under the watchful eye of his worried but ultimately uncomprehending parents (ISABELLA ROSSELLINI and MONI MONOSHOV), he encounters two women in quick succession: There’s Michelle (GWYNETH PALTROW), a mysterious and beautiful neighbor— exotic and out-of-place in Leonard’s staid Brighton Beach neighborhood. But he soon discovers that she too is deeply troubled. Meanwhile, his parents try to set him up with Sandra (VINESSA SHAW), the lovely and caring daughter of the suburban businessman who’s buying out the family drycleaning business. At first resistant to her appeal (and to his family’s pressure), Leonard gradually discovers hidden depths in Sandra.

ABBOTT HOME - STREET (HALEY, ILLINOIS) - DAY 1 (LATE SPRING, 1957) OPENING CREDITS ROLL over a TENT MONTAGE -- ASSORTED ANGLES of a group of men hard at work erecting a large striped "big-top" style canvas tent, INCLUDING: The long steel stakes being sledge-hammered into the lawn, practiced hands rapidly rigging the lines, the tall center poles being leveraged upright, the heavy rolled-up sections of canvas being maneuvered into position, and ENDING WITH the canvas being hoisted up the poles as the tent assumes its full and finished form. NEW ANGLE - TENT -- on the front yard of the Abbott mansion. The residence is on Main Street, four blocks from where the commercial district begins. The mature, over-arching trees makes this street of prosperous houses a grand promenade. 2EXT. ABBOTT HOME - STREET - DAY 2 JACEY HOLT and DOUG HOLT walk along the sidewalk on their way to school. Jacey is seventeen; he's as handsome and seemingly self-confident as his younger brother is rumpled and impulsive. Doug is fifteen, a popular culture chameleon who takes on the colors and affectations of whomever his "hero" is at the moment (which presently happens to be Elvis Presley). Jacey stops and stares with open-faced misery at the tent on the Abbott's front yard (the installation of the tent indicates that the Abbott's are having yet another of the many parties they throw every year).
