An Avid Imitator

چکیده
We present a case of disseminated cryptococcal disease, coexisting with and mimicking lymphoma. Determination of serum cryptococcal antigen should be considered for lymphopenic patients with hematologic malignancies, presenting with unexplained fever, and/or lymphadenopathy and/or pulmonary findings. Patients with hematologic malignancies treated with chemotherapy regimens are susceptible to diverse opportunistic infections. Therefore, in this patient population, it is often necessary to obtain a definitive pathologic diagnosis, to diagnose uncommon syndromes and guide management.

The Correspondence Problem
The identification of any form of social learning, imitation, copying or mimicry presupposes a notion of correspondence between two autonomous agents. Judging whether a behavior has been transmitted socially requires the observer to identify a mapping between the demonstrator and the imitator. If the demonstrator and imitator have similar bodies, e.g. are animals of the same species, of similar...
متن کاملAdvergence in Müllerian mimicry: the case of the poison dart frogs of Northern Peru revisited.
Whether the evolution of similar aposematic signals in different unpalatable species (i.e. Müllerian mimicry) is because of phenotypic convergence or advergence continues to puzzle scientists. The poison dart frog Ranitomeya imitator provides a rare example in support of the hypothesis of advergence: this species was believed to mimic numerous distinct model species because of high phenotypic v...
متن کاملRobot Imitation Learning of High-Level Planning Information
We present a system that enables a robot to learn to plan through demonstration and imitation. An imitator acquires planning operators by observing a demonstrator, segmenting the demonstrators actions into planning steps, and learning the preconditions and effects of the operators. When the imitator tries to execute its own plans, it learns to perform the operations through reinforcement learni...
متن کاملÉtienne André Everything You Always Wanted to Know About IMITATOR (But Were Afraid to Ask)
We present here the user manual of Imitator, a tool for synthesizing constraints on timing bounds (seen as parameters) in the framework of timed automata. Unlike classical synthesis methods, the tool Imitator takes advantage of a given reference valuation of the parameters for which the system is known to behave properly. The goal of Imitator is to generate a constraint such that, under any val...
متن کاملIMITATOR II: A Tool for Solving the Good Parameters Problem in Timed Automata
We present here IMITATOR II, a new version of IMITATOR, a tool implementing the “inverse method” for parametric timed automata: given a reference valuation of the parameters, it synthesizes a constraint such that, for any valuation satisfying this constraint, the system behaves the same as under the reference valuation in terms of traces, i.e., alternating sequences of locations and actions. IM...
