The prevalent approach to problems of credit assignment in machine learning -- such as feature and data valuation is model the problem at hand a cooperative game apply Shapley value. But theory offers rich menu alternative solution concepts, which famously includes core its variants. Our goal challenge community's current consensus around value, make case for viable alternative. To that end, we...

In f 1 l] the importance of the formal termination problem for a high level programming language has been pointed out. If this problem is algorithmically solvable, then the translator is at least principally able to check whether certain properties closely related to termination like macro property of programs or nonrecursivity or block behaviour of procedures are fulfilled and then to produce ...

In survey studies, cleaning answers to write-in questions can be difficult and time consuming, especially when the same response may be written in multiple ways. Misunderstanding of the survey question, unrecognizable handwriting, and negligence in data entry are major factors leading to data inaccuracies that are almost impossible to avoid. Writing a series of “if then” statements is a classic...

Background: The general population’s understanding of musculoskeletal health is likely influenced by media reports of the ailments of prominent athletes. We assessed factors independently associated with debatable or potentially misleading medical statements in mainstream sports media coverage of the ailments of professional and college athletes.Methods: We identified and assessed 200 Int...

I prefer to start any topic with a number of examples, but in this case I’m going to spend a fair amount of time discussing technicalities, and then get to a number of examples. Here is the main message I want you to get. Differentials are an intuitive geometric notion, and we’re going to figure out the right description of them algebraically. I find the algebraic manifestation a little non-int...

Nested if-then-else statements is the most common programming schema in applications like data transformation or data analysis. In most cases, these can be replaced by higher level pattern matching constructs, rendering the code more readable and easier to maintain. We present a tool that integrates strong semantically grounded pattern matching features in Java via a plug-in for the Eclipse pla...
