We study the impact of foresight in a transboundary pollution game; i.e. the ability of a country to control its emissions taking into account the relationship between current emissions and future levels of pollution and thus on future damages. We show that when all countries are myopic, i.e., choose the ’laisser-faire’ policy, their payoffs are smaller than when all countries are farsighted, i...

In this paper we propose a technique to incorporate contextual information into object classification. In the real world there are cases where the identity of an object is ambiguous due to the noise in the measurements based on which the classification should be made. It is helpful to reduce the ambiguity by utilizing extra information referred to as context, which in our case is the identities...

Many spatial terms, for example, can be interpreted in different ways and are thus inherently ambiguous (Schober, 1993).

In order to achieve the objective, we first organize activities in cognitive skill and metacognitive skill. It enables us to reveal what activity existing le...
