Explanation of the Amsterdam Science Collaboration And Explanation of the Amsterdam Science Collaboration and associated Housing Programme EXPLANATION OF THE AMSTERDAM SCIENCE COLLABORATION AND ASSOCIATED HOUSING PROGRAMME [ FEBRUARY 2017 ] Foreword he science faculties at the UvA and the VU have been working together for years in a variety of ways in order to strengthen and improve their teaching and research. T In the last three years, the wishes and possibilities for further intensification of this collaboration have been explored on several levels. Part of the collaboration is the joint housing of a number of disciplines, either at Amsterdam Science Park or at the VU Campus, aimed at taking advantage of the opportunities, and in doing so, to advance the science collaboration to a higher level of quality. A plan has been drafted for the joint housing of the science collaboration. Firstly the Housing department estimated the spatial feasibility and subsequently the financial aspects have been reviewed. The most important pillars of the joint housing plan are the collaboration in research and education in Physics and Astronomy, in Information Sciences and the scientific collaboration with SRON. This document offers additional information on the motivation, guiding principles, scheduling and decision-making in connection with this Housing Programme.

SCIENCE IN AMSTERDAM 2 University of Amsterdam | VU University Amsterdam EXPLANATION OF THE AMSTERDAM SCIENCE COLLABORATION AND ASSOCIATED HOUSING PROGRAMME [ FEBRUARY 2017 ] Reading guide Section 1: Motivation of the collaborative institutes and SRON First the background of the science collaboration is described. 1.1 Motivation Informatics 1.2 Motivation Physics and Astronomy 1.3 Collaboration UvA-VU with SRON Section 2: Background The three substantive pillars on which the Housing Programme rests are identified and explained. These are: The substantive guiding principles for the science collaboration with regard to teaching and research (section 2.1) The existing substantive partnerships and the planned UvA-VU collaborative institutes (section 2.2) The planned collaboration with NWO institute SRON (section 2.3) Section 3: Guiding principles and main aspects of the Housing Programme for the science collaboration The planned partnerships also entail a desire for joint accommodation and related facilities. Section 3 addresses the feasibility and affordability of these wishes. The guiding principles for the implementation of the Housing Programme are laid out (section 3.1), as is the phasing of the plans (section 3.2). Section 4: Relocations In section 4.1 and section 4.2, the phasing of the plans is defined in greater detail.Section 4.3 provides an overview of the interrelation and interdependencies between the several relocations. Section 5: Proposed decisions Section 5 provides an explanation of the decisions concerning the Housing Plan, as well as an overview of which representative advisory body will be consulted on which proposed decision. SCIENCE IN AMSTERDAM 3 University of Amsterdam | VU University Amsterdam EXPLANATION OF THE AMSTERDAM SCIENCE COLLABORATION AND ASSOCIATED HOUSING PROGRAMME [ FEBRUARY 2017 ] EXPLANATION OF THE AMSTERDAM SCIENCE COLLABORATION AND ASSOCIATED HOUSING PROGRAMME 1. Motivation of the collaborative institutes and SRON In the reports by the core teams for Physics and Astronomy and Informatics (in Dutch) the considerations on intensive collaboration are detailed extensively. The following is an overview of these deliberations and the deliberations for the collaboration of the UvA and the VU with SRON. 1.1 Informatics For the VU Informatics Department and the UvA Informatics Institute, the formation of a collaborative institute and the realisation of shared accommodation are the next steps in a collaborative process dating back many years. The computer scientists at the VU and UvA have been coordinating their teaching and research priorities for a considerable amount of time. As a result, their research is highly complementary, and in areas where this is not the case, collaborations are often realised. In addition to two Joint Degrees – the Master’s programmes in Computer Science and Computational Science – and the complementary Master’s programmes in Artificial Intelligence, the education portfolio contains a number of programmes in which the staff of the partner institution make a significant contribution (up to 25% of the lecturer deployment). When opening and filling staff vacancies, attention is paid to both the expertise and the gaps present in both departments. In 2016, a collective Strategic Personnel Plan was established. SCIENCE IN AMSTERDAM 4 University of Amsterdam | VU University Amsterdam EXPLANATION OF THE AMSTERDAM SCIENCE COLLABORATION AND ASSOCIATED HOUSING PROGRAMME [ FEBRUARY 2017 ] In order to get a picture of the effect of long-term collaboration on the quality of the research, during the collective self-assessment of research (2009-2014) the UvA Informatics Institute and VU’s Informatics Department compared their research output to that of the Edinburgh School of Informatics, the highest scoring informatics department in the United Kingdom. To do this, attention was paid to SEP indicators such as indirect government funding and contract research funding, the number of doctorates conferred/publications published per staff member, and the relationship between the number of publications, the staff members’ H indexes and the employee structure. The conclusion of the benchmark was that the output of the Amsterdam-based informatics research was quantitatively and qualitatively comparable to that of Edinburgh, a recognised top institute. A second indicator of the informatics collaboration’s success is an independent study comparing the potential for success and innovation of eleven European city regions, including Amsterdam (‘the Urban Innovation Network in collaboration with Elsevier Science’, March 2015). The study showed that the relative impact of citations from Amsterdam informatics research is 85% higher than the global average: the highest score of all the examined cities. Amsterdam also had the highest output per staff member. One striking factor is the substantial increase (compared to 2002) in the amount of research downloaded and the number of top publications (highest 10% of citations) in comparison to the other informatics departments and in the informatics output compared to the other fields practised in Amsterdam. By combining to form an Informatics Institute Amsterdam (working title), the departments are aiming to become an international top institute. The explanation of the request to form a collaborative institute weighed up the advantages and disadvantages of further intensifying the collaboration via joint management (a collaborative institute) and shared accommodation. The conclusion was that the benefits substantially outweigh the risks. The time to act is now. Informatics is currently enjoying an unexpectedly good period in terms of enrolment numbers, job opportunities for graduates and opportunities for innovation in collaboration with the industry. In addition, we currently have a unique opportunity to realise a new building that will bring together informatics research and teaching, and this opportunity will probably not arise again for many years. The benefits for research can be summarised as follows: Thematic adaptivity: Informatics is undergoing unprecedented growth in scale. In the past, only specialist industries required ICT expertise, but nowadays there is no end to the list of sectors that require modern informatics competences. Flexibility and mobility of the thematic research lines are essential. A single, larger unit will be better at anticipating these developments and will be less likely to be knocked off-balance when new research lines are formed. SCIENCE IN AMSTERDAM 5 University of Amsterdam | VU University Amsterdam EXPLANATION OF THE AMSTERDAM SCIENCE COLLABORATION AND ASSOCIATED HOUSING PROGRAMME [ FEBRUARY 2017 ] Thematic completeness: The field of informatics is now so big that both departments alone can only provide in a small proportion. A larger unit can offer staff and students a much broader package of themes. Far-reaching specialisation could be the answer to increased scale, but there is also growing necessity for integration with aspects that seemed entirely unrelated in the past. We are seeing that even the currently informal UvA-VU informatics collaboration has to work together with a large range of other parties in order to seize the available opportunities. Examples of this are Data Science and Software for Quantum Computing. Visibility: A combined Informatics Institute Amsterdam will achieve national and international visibility that the two separate entities could not realise alone. It would enable competition with other top European centres with regard to scale and quality. This would make it easier for us to attract talented researchers and students, to function as an important partner for national and international cooperation and to play a decisive role in the formulation of strategic agendas. Research facilities: A new joint building will create new possibilities, such as the creation

    Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences (2021), 1–9 doi:10.1017/S0269964821000395 RESEARCH ARTICLE A regret lower bound for assortment optimization under the capacitated MNL model with arbitrary revenue parameters Yannik Peeters1 and Arnoud V. den Boer1,2 1 Amsterdam Business School, University of Amsterdam, Plantage Muidergracht 12, 1018 TV Amsterdam, The Netherlands. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics, University of Amsterdam, Science Park 105-107, 1098 XG Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Keywords: Assortment optimization, Incomplete information, Multinomial logit model, Regret lower bound Abstract In this note, we consider dynamic assortment optimization with incomplete information under the capacitated multinomial logit choice model. Recently, it has been shown that the regret (the cumulative expected revenue loss caused√ by offering suboptimal assortments) that any decision policy endures is bounded from below by a constant times ,where denotes the number of products and denotes the time horizon. This result is shown under the assumption that the product revenues are constant, and thus leaves the question open whether a lower regret rate can be achieved for nonconstant revenue parameters. In this note, we show that this is not the case: we show that, for any vector of product revenues√ there is a positive constant such that the regret√ of any policy is bounded from below by this constant times . Our result implies that policies that achieve O( ) regret are asymptotically optimal for all product revenue parameters. 1. Introduction In this note, we consider the problem of assortment optimization under the multinomial logit (MNL) choice model with a capacity constraint on the size of the assortment and incomplete information about the model parameters.
