- Towards the Systematic Reporting of the Energy and Carbon Footprints of Machine Learning (2020, unknown): “Since carbon emissions have some long-term or irreversible impacts (Solomon et al., 2009), avoiding carbon emissions now can help down the line—a reason why discount rates are used in calculating impacts (Weisbach and Sunstein, 2008).”
- Environment-Independent Task Specifications via GLTL (2017, background): “De Alfaro et al. (2003, 2004) augment computation tree logic (CTL) with discounting and develop fixpoint-based algorithms for checking such properties for probabilistic systems and games.”
