An examination of Walter Benjamin’s notion of the aura as it appears in videogames, and the relation between the nondirectional sense of smell, non-directional visual fields, an...
We construct an efficient probabilistic algorithm that, given a finite set with a binary operation, tests if it is an abelian group. The distance used is an analogue of the edit d...
We present a theoretical analysis of Watson’s Hierarchicalif-and-only-if (HIFF) problem using a variety of tools. These include schema theory and course graining, the concept of...
Abstract. As a window into the subject, we recount some of the history (and geography) of two mature, challenging, partially open, partially closed problems in the theory of rewrit...
A genetic algorithm scheme with a stochastic genotype/phenotype relation is proposed. The mechanisms responsible for this intermediate level of uncertainty, are inspired by the bio...
