Accurate performance timing is associated with the perceptual attack time (PAT) of notes, rather than their physical or perceptual onsets (PhOT, POT). Since manual annotation of PAT for analysis is both time-consuming and impractical for real-time applications, automatic transcription is desirable. However, computational methods for onset detection in audio signals are conventionally measured a...

We introduce the Funding Game, in which m identical resources are to be allocated among n selfish agents. Each agent requests a number of resources xi and reports a valuation ṽi(xi), which verifiably lower-bounds i’s true value for receiving xi items. The pairs (xi, ṽi(xi)) can be thought of as size-value pairs defining a knapsack problem with capacity m. A publicly-known algorithm is used to s...

Two commentaries explore the question of how much information should be disclosed to a 16-year-old female patient about the genetic abnormality, testicular feminization (XY genotype), which renders her infertile. She has presented with precancerous testes that require surgical removal and also needs an operation on her vagina in order for her to be able to engage in intercourse. Minoque and T...

In this article, we argue for a pragmatic understanding of the role news media and journalism not as truth keepers but mediators in public sphere. current debate on ‘post-truth politics’ emphasis is often put formulation ethical guidelines legal solutions to regain control over ‘unbound journalism’ or re-establish media. Instead holding journalists individually accountable spread fake news, con...

Conditional Perfection is argued to arise when a sentence is silently conjoined with an exhaustivized version of the same string. The proposed account, the ‘whole truth theory’, is argued to not only capture Conditional Perfection but to also extend to upper-bounding inferences and exhaustive answers. A crucial piece of the analysis is the independently supported claim that bare conditionals ar...
