A scientist living in Russia is often asked two questions: “Why haven’t you left?” and “Is it still possible to work there?” The best response to the fi rst question is, “Why should I?”—which either terminates the conversation or leads to a stimulating discussion about the fate of the world.

This paper introduces a modeling framework for handling uncertainty in observation times and describes inference algorithms that, under certai...

We argue that these ad-hoc effort...
