Hi, everybody. I'm Nikolaj Tangen of the Norwegian Southern Wealth Fund. And today we are hosting an investor legend, Paul Singer, who founded Elliott Asset Management and probably the most important activist investor in the world. Paul, warm welcome. Thank you.

What is activist investing?

It could be management changes that are requested. It could be capital structure changes, finance strategies and tactics.

What is two-hot encoding?

Description

Two hot encoding was introduced in 2017 in "Marc G Bellemare et all "A distributional perspective on reinforcement learning" but the clearest description is in the 2020 paper "Dreamer-v3" by Danijar Hafner et al.) where it is used for reward and value distributions.

two-hot encoding is a generalization of onehot encoding to continuous values. It produces a vector of length |B| where all elements are 0 except for the two entries closest to the encoded continuous number, at positions k and k + 1. These two entries sum up to 1, with more weight given to the entry that is closer to the encoded number
