This paper describes an exercise in the formalization of common-sense with Answer Set Programming aimed at solving an interesting riddle, whose solution is not obvious to many people. Solving the riddle requires a considerable amount of common-sense knowledge and sophisticated knowledge representation and reasoning techniques, including planning and adversarial reasoning. Most importantly, the ...

Identifying the Returns to Lying When the Truth is Unobserved, Arthur Lewbel, Boston College Consider an outcome Y, an observed binary regressor D, and an unobserved binary D*. This paper considers nonparametric identification and estimation of the effect of D on Y, conditioning on D*. Suppose Y is wages, unobserved D* indicates college experience, and D indicates claiming to have been to colle...

Fair sequences allocate capacity to competing demands in a variety of manufacturing and computer systems. This paper considers the generation of cyclic fair sequences for a set of servers that must process a given set of products, each of which must be produced multiple times in each cycle. The objective is to create a sequence that minimizes, for each product, the variability of the time betwe...

This memo reports the results of our psort (general purpose) sorting software on a 5 disk 427.86$ PC with 4 GB of RAM and an Athlon LE 1640 2.6 GHz processor. psort sorted 67 · 2 records in 2211 seconds, for a Daytona sort size slightly larger than 224.8 GB. A version of psort hand-optimized for the Pennysort benchmark sorted 74 ·2 records in the same time and on the same hardware, for an Indy ...

This conference aims to gather researchers and developers from academic fields and industries worldwide to share their research results covering all aspects of artificial intelligence. It will be an international forum for discussions on recent progress in different fields of artificial intelligence including, but not limited to: Agents, AI and engineering, Cognitive modeling, Cognitive systems...

In adjustable interest loans the borrower assumes the risk of interest rate rising, which leads to the growth of loan annuities. Given the importance of this risk in both corporate and personal finance, it is a recurrent topic in economic and financial press. In this paper, we show that the duration of a loan with constant annuity and interest rate can be used to assess the sensitivity of payme...

Chris Baldwin, a devised theatre practitioner and co-editor of a practical guide to devising theatre, lists the devising director’s responsibilities as building a production and performance team, timetabling, compiling documentation of the rehearsal process and, crucially, fulfilling the role of spectator as the devised show is developed and rehearsed. Described by Baldwin as ‘at the centre of ...
