Towards Flexible Teamwork
Creators: name: Tambe, M.

Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Many AI researchers are today striving to build agent teams for complex, dynamic multi-agent domains, with intended applications in arenas such as education, training, entertainment, information integration, and collective robotics. Unfortunately, uncertainties in these complex, dynamic domains obstruct coherent teamwork. In particular, team members often encounter differing, incomplete, and possibly inconsistent views of their environment. Furthermore, team members can unexpectedly fail in fulfilling responsibilities or discover unexpected opportunities. Highly flexible coordination and communication is key in addressing such uncertainties. Simply fitting individual agents with precomputed coordination plans will not do, for their inflexibility can cause severe failures in teamwork, and their domain-specificity hinders reusability. Our central hypothesis is that the key to such flexibility and reusability is providing agents with general models of teamwork. Agents exploit such models to autonomously reason about coordination and communication, providing requisite flexibility. Furthermore, the models enable reuse across domains, both saving implementation effort and enforcing consistency. This article presents one general, implemented model of teamwork, called STEAM. The basic building block of teamwork in STEAM is joint intentions (Cohen & Levesque, 1991b); teamwork in STEAM is based on agents' building up a (partial) hierarchy of joint intentions (this hierarchy is seen to parallel Grosz & Kraus's partial SharedPlans, 1996). Furthermore, in STEAM, team members monitor the team's and individual members' performance, reorganizing the team as necessary. Finally, decision-theoretic communication selectivity in STEAM ensures reduction in communication overheads of teamwork, with appropriate sensitivity to the environmental conditions. This article describes STEAM's application in three different complex domains, and presents detailed empirical results.

description: The aim of this study is to assess the association of nine SNPs on ADIPOQ on the PCOS risk among Saudi Arabian Women. A case–control study, including 162 cases and 162 controls in Saudi Arabia, was enrolled. Genotyping was carried out by the allelic discrimination method. Estimated haplotype frequencies were assessed using the maximum likelihood method. Results showed that ADIPOQ SNPs were not associated with PCOS for allelic and genotypic frequencies (p > .05). In haplotype estimation analysis, a significant positive association was detected between 21211 haplotype (rs2241766/rs1501299/rs2241767/rs3774261/rs17366743) in additive model with increased risk of PCOS (p = .009, OR = 2.16 [1.22–3.82] CI 95%). None of the nine SNPs illustrated significant association with the quantitative traits after multiple test corrections. These results support a significant association of 21211 haplotype (rs2241766/rs1501299/rs2241767/rs3774261/rs17366743) of ADIPOQ gene in Saudi women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

description: We find exact nonlinear solutions of general relativity that represent twisted gravitational waves (TGWs) in the presence of a cosmological constant. A TGW is a nonplanar wave propagating along a fixed spatial direction with a null Killing wave vector that has a nonzero twist tensor. The solutions all turn out to have wave fronts with negative Gaussian curvature. Among the classes of solutions presented in this paper, we find a unique class of simple conformally flat TGWs that is due to the presence of a negative cosmological constant and therefore represents part of anti-de Sitter spacetime. The properties of this special solution are studied in detail.

Maximal Free-Space Concentration of Electromagnetic Waves

description: We derive upper bounds to free-space concentration of electromagnetic waves, mapping out the limits to maximum intensity for any spot size and optical beam-shaping device. For sub-diffraction-limited optical beams, our bounds suggest the possibility for orders-of-magnitude intensity enhancements compared to existing demonstrations, and we use inverse design to discover metasurfaces operating near these new limits. We also demonstrate that our bounds may surprisingly describe maximum concentration defined by a wide variety of metrics. Our bounds require no assumptions about symmetry, scalar waves, or weak scattering, instead relying primarily on the transformation of a quadratic program via orthogonal-projection methods. The bounds and inverse-designed structures presented here can be useful for applications from imaging to 3D printing.

description: In this paper we introduce a new quantum computation model, the linear quantum cellular automaton. Well-formedness is an essential property for any quantum computing device since it enables us to define the probability of a configuration in an observation as the squared magnitude of its amplitude. We give an efficient algorithm which decides if a linear quantum cellular automaton is well-formed. The complexity of the algorithm is $O(n^2)$ in the algebraic model of computation if the input automaton has continuous neighborhood.

title: Understanding the Role of Environment in Project Lending: How Environmental Issues were Addressed in the Lending Practices of Two Commercial Banks
Creators: name: Banhalmi-Zakar, Zsuzsa
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Bank loan policy
subject: Environmental project financing
subject: Credit loan risks

description: Since the mid-1990s, banks’ concern about the environment in their lending practices has been interpreted in terms of financial risks and opportunities. The majority of research has concentrated on (a) understanding what these risks are and (b) benchmarking institutions in terms of the measures they employ to control them. These studies painted a picture of a bank sector that perceives the environment primarily as a risk rather than an opportunity and where banks tend to deal with the environment within their existing risk (credit) management practices. While our understanding of the type of risks that the environment can represent in lending is well established, it is still not clear how specific environmental issues, such as the potential negative or positive impacts of proposed projects, transform into financial implications; how they are handled by banks and the extent to which they ultimately influence banks’ decision to finance projects. The purpose of this study was to enhance understanding in this area by investigating how environmental issues were handled in the project lending practices of two commercial banks. A qualitative case-study was conducted in a Hungarian bank in 2006 and an Australian bank in 2007. The Hungarian bank belonged to a Group that has signed the UNEP FI Statement, while the Australian institution has not signed this, or any similar voluntary environmental initiative. Interviews were conducted with staff members who were directly involved in the project lending process. A wide range of internal and external (publicly accessible) documents (such as credit policies, guidelines, forms, reports, case-studies, websites and Annual Reports) that provided insight into the day-to-day practices of the two banks were also examined.
Coideal subalgebras in quantum affine algebras

description: We introduce two subalgebras in the type A quantum affine algebra which are coideals with respect to the Hopf algebra structure. In the classical limit q -> 1 each subalgebra specializes to the enveloping algebra U(k), where k is a fixed point subalgebra of the loop algebra over gl_N with respect to a natural involution corresponding to the embedding of the orthogonal or symplectic Lie algebra into gl_N. We also give an equivalent presentation of these coideal subalgebras in terms of generators and defining relations which have the form of reflection-type equations. We provide evaluation homomorphisms from these algebras to the twisted quantized enveloping algebras introduced earlier by Gavrilik and Klimyk and by Noumi. We also construct an analog of the quantum determinant for each of the algebras and show that its coefficients belong to the center of the algebra. Their images under the evaluation homomorphism provide a family of central elements of the corresponding twisted quantized enveloping algebra.

A concrete application to a problem related to the fractional Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality is given.

description: The speed and dynamics of range expansions shape species distributions and community composition. Despite the critical impact of population growth rates for range expansion, they are neglected in existing empirical studies, which focus on the investigation of selected life-history traits. Here, we present an approach based on non-invasive genetic capture–mark–recapture data for the estimation of adult survival, fecundity and juvenile survival, which determine population growth. We demonstrate the reliability of our method with simulated data, and use it to investigate life-history changes associated with range expansion in 35 colonies of the bat species Rhinolophus hipposideros. Comparing the demographic parameters inferred for 19 of those colonies which belong to an expanding population with those inferred for the remaining 16 colonies from a non-expanding population reveals that range expansion is associated with higher net reproduction. Juvenile survival was the main driver of the observed reproduction increase in this long-lived bat species with low per capita annual reproductive output. The higher average growth rate in the expanding population was not associated with a trade-off between increased reproduction and survival, suggesting that the observed increase in reproduction stems from a higher resource acquisition in the expanding population. Environmental conditions in the novel habitat hence seem to have an important influence on range expansion dynamics, and warrant further investigation for the management of range expansion in both native and invasive species.

description: The sine-Gordon model on the half-line with a dynamical boundary introduced by Delius and one of the authors is considered at quantum level. Classical boundary conditions associated with classical integrability are shown to be preserved at quantum level too. Non-local conserved charges are constructed explicitly in terms of the field and boundary operators. We solve the intertwining equation associated with a certain coideal subalgebra of $U_q(\hat{sl_2})$ generated by these non-local charges. The corresponding solution is shown to satisfy quantum boundary Yang-Baxter equations. Up to an exact relation between the quantization length of the boundary quantum mechanical system and the sine-Gordon coupling constant, we conjecture the soliton/antisoliton reflection matrix and boundstates reflection matrices. The structure of the boundary state is then considered, and shown to be divided in two sectors. Also, depending on the sine-Gordon coupling constant a finite set of boundary bound states are identified. Taking the analytic continuation of the coupling, the corresponding boundary sinh-Gordon model is briefly discussed. In particular, the particle reflection factor enjoys weak-strong coupling duality.

description: In single-molecule force spectroscopy experiments, the dependence of the mean unfolding force on the loading rate is used for obtaining information about the energetic and dynamic properties of the system under study. However, it is crucial to understand that different dynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) models are applicable in different regimes, and that different definitions of the unfolding force might be used in those models. Here, for the first time, we discuss three definitions of the unfolding force. We carried out Brownian dynamics simulations in order to demonstrate the difference between these definitions and compare DFS models. Importantly, we derive the dependence of the mean unfolding force for the whole range of the loading rates by unifying three previously reported DFS models. Among the currently available models, this unified model shows the best agreement with the simulated data.

description: The goal of this study was to contribute to the understanding of subtropical rainforest pollination systems and their natural variability in order to predict the likely impact of climate change on pollination in these systems. Pollination is a pivotal process within all forest ecosystems and the sustainability of any given plant species is dependent on its success. Climate change and associated changes in environmental cues to phenology and ontology of both plants and their pollinators has the potential to decouple pollinator mutualisms, decreasing reproductive success. Two approaches were used to investigate potential pollination variability: 1. To understand broadly the characteristics of the elements that interact in pollination – that is the physical environment, flower morphology and phenology, and the flower-visiting insect fauna – at a community level. 2. To estimate the natural variability of these elements along an altitudinal gradient as a surrogate for climate change. A profile of flower morphology and phenology for the rainforest plants of Lamington National Park demonstrated the predominance of small white flowers, seasonal flowering and the strong influence of El Niño on flowering patterns among this subtropical rainforest flora. A global comparison of morphological characteristics demonstrated that there was no “typical” rainforest flower morphology. An altitudinal gradient was established as part of the collaborative IBISCA Queensland project, the core of which was the establishment of a permanent set of 20 reference plots, four at each of five altitudes in Lamington National Park, southeast Queensland. Effectively this allowed the examination of adjacent climates which differed in overall mean temperature by about 4.8°C organised into five 1.2°C stages. Along the environmental gradient temperature decreased and moisture increased with increased altitude. The higher altitudes showed less variability in temperature and daily relative humidity. High and constant atmospheric moisture was experienced at the two highest altitudes (900 m and 1100 m) and was considered the result of frequent cloud cover at these higher altitudes. Changes in soil physical characteristics accompanied changes in moisture availability.

description: Rapid decline in fossil fuel energy necessitates the immediate need for renewable energy resources. Here, we report a previously unexplored class of nitrides AMN$_2$ keeping renewable energy applications in mind. Using a detailed structure and stability analysis using first principles simulation, we discovered twelve such compounds (few of which are already synthesized before), which are chemically, mechanically and dynamically stable. These twelve compounds were then evaluated for their suitability for three renewable energy applications, (i) photovoltaics, (ii) water splitting, and (iii) thermoelectrics. Careful analysis of electronic structure reveals high optical transition strength resulting in sharp rise in absorption. This in turn yields high short circuit current and hence excellent solar efficiency for few compounds namely CsVN$_2$ and RbVN$_2$. Along with excellent absorption quality, some compounds show favorable band edge positions compared to water redox levels and hence are promising as photoelectrodes in photo(electro)chemical water splitting devices. Mixture of flat and dispersive bands in the band structure yields both high Seebeck and electrical conductivity, thus excellent power factor for seven compounds. Simulated lattice thermal conductivity shows moderate to ultralow values and thus the possibility of achieving high thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT), even at lower temperatures. From the experimental perspective, we discuss the possible challenges that may arise while utilizing these compounds for the desired applications, and suggest possible pathways to overcome them. We believe such theoretical prediction of promising materials are extremely useful for new materials discovery and anticipate rapid response from the experimental community.
Identifying Hierarchical Structure in Sequences: A linear-time algorithm

description: SEQUITUR is an algorithm that infers a hierarchical structure from a sequence of discrete symbols by replacing repeated phrases with a grammatical rule that generates the phrase, and continuing this process recursively. The result is a hierarchical representation of the original sequence, which offers insights into its lexical structure. The algorithm is driven by two constraints that reduce the size of the grammar, and produce structure as a by-product. SEQUITUR breaks new ground by operating incrementally. Moreover, the method's simple structure permits a proof that it operates in space and time that is linear in the size of the input. Our implementation can process 50,000 symbols per second and has been applied to an extensive range of real world sequences.

description: This research examined the complex interactions of climate, rainfall, vegetation, terrain and soil factors, and consequent hillslope erosion processes under intermediate (nominally five to seven years) post-fire conditions, through a case study of a hillslope in the Licola region, southeast Australia that was severely burnt in the 2006/7 Great Divide Fires. Fieldwork and laboratory research found that different hillslope patches responded variably to rainfall inputs and their modification by the vegetation canopy. The distinctive shape of post-fire juvenile Eucalyptus leaves generated a unique size-range of erosive drops. Theoretical and conceptual contributions to post-fire erosion science were also made.

description: Infinite loops and redundant computations are long recognized open problems in Prolog. Two ways have been explored to resolve these problems: loop checking and tabling. Loop checking can cut infinite loops, but it cannot be both sound and complete even for function-free logic programs. Tabling seems to be an effective way to resolve infinite loops and redundant computations. However, existing tabulated resolutions, such as OLDT-resolution, SLG- resolution, and Tabulated SLS-resolution, are non-linear because they rely on the solution-lookup mode in formulating tabling. The principal disadvantage of non-linear resolutions is that they cannot be implemented using a simple stack-based memory structure like that in Prolog. Moreover, some strictly sequential operators such as cuts may not be handled as easily as in Prolog. In this paper, we propose a hybrid method to resolve infinite loops and redundant computations. We combine the ideas of loop checking and tabling to establish a linear tabulated resolution called TP-resolution. TP-resolution has two distinctive features: (1) It makes linear tabulated derivations in the same way as Prolog except that infinite loops are broken and redundant computations are reduced. It handles cuts as effectively as Prolog. (2) It is sound and complete for positive logic programs with the bounded-term-size property. The underlying algorithm can be implemented by an extension to any existing Prolog abstract machines such as WAM or ATOAM.

Distributed sampling, quantum communication witnesses, and measurement incompatibility

description: We study prepare-and-measure experiments where the sender (Alice) receives trusted quantum inputs but has an untrusted state-preparation device and the receiver (Bob) has a fully-untrusted measurement device. A distributed-sampling task naturally arises in such scenario, whose goal is for Alice and Bob to reproduce the statistics of his measurements on her quantum inputs using a fixed communication channel. Their performance at such task can certify quantum communication (QC), and this is formalised by measurement-device-independent QC witnesses. Furthermore, we prove that QC can provide an advantage (over classical communication) for distributed sampling if and only if Bob's measurements are incompatible. This gives an operational interpretation to the fundamental notion of measurement incompatibility, and motivates a generalised notion of it. Our findings have both fundamental and applied implications.

description: In this paper we reexamine the place and role of stable model semantics in logic programming and contrast it with a least Herbrand model approach to Horn programs. We demonstrate that inherent features of stable model semantics naturally lead to a logic programming system that offers an interesting alternative to more traditional logic programming styles of Horn logic programming, stratified logic programming and logic programming with well-founded semantics. The proposed approach is based on the interpretation of program clauses as constraints. In this setting programs do not describe a single intended model, but a family of stable models. These stable models encode solutions to the constraint satisfaction problem described by the program. Our approach imposes restrictions on the syntax of logic programs. In particular, function symbols are eliminated from the language. We argue that the resulting logic programming system is well-attuned to problems in the class NP, has a well-defined domain of applications, and an emerging methodology of programming. We point out that what makes the whole approach viable is recent progress in implementations of algorithms to compute stable models of propositional logic programs.

Type-I Seesaw as the Common Origin of Neutrino Mass, Baryon Asymmetry, and the Electroweak Scale

description: The type-I seesaw represents one of the most popular extensions of the Standard Model. Previous studies of this model have mostly focused on its ability to explain neutrino oscillations as well as on the generation of the baryon asymmetry via leptogenesis. Recently, it has been pointed out that the type-I seesaw can also account for the origin of the electroweak scale due to heavy-neutrino threshold corrections to the Higgs potential. In this paper, we show for the first time that all of these features of the type-I seesaw are compatible with each other. Integrating out a set of heavy Majorana neutrinos results in small masses for the Standard Model neutrinos; baryogenesis is accomplished by resonant leptogenesis; and the Higgs mass is entirely induced by heavy-neutrino one-loop diagrams, provided that the tree-level Higgs potential satisfies scale-invariant boundary conditions in the ultraviolet. The viable parameter space is characterized by a heavy-neutrino mass scale roughly in the range $10^{6.5\cdots7.0}$ GeV and a mass splitting among the nearly degenerate heavy-neutrino states up to a few TeV. Our findings have interesting implications for high-energy flavor models and low-energy neutrino observables. We conclude that the type-I seesaw sector might be the root cause behind the masses and cosmological abundances of all known particles. This statement might even extend to dark matter in the presence of a keV-scale sterile neutrino.

Compilation of Weighted Finite-State Transducers from Decision Trees

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We report on a method for compiling decision trees into weighted finite-state transducers. The key assumptions are that the tree predictions specify how to rewrite symbols from an input string, and the decision at each tree node is stateable in terms of regular expressions on the input string. Each leaf node can then be treated as a separate rule where the left and right contexts are constructable from the decisions made traversing the tree from the root to the leaf. These rules are compiled into transducers using the weighted rewrite-rule rule-compilation algorithm described in (Mohri and Sproat, 1996).

description: This paper suggests ever increasing human knowledge of the world around us is the driving force for much social and cultural evolution. It examines the order of discovery of our knowledge of the world around us and notes this knowledge comes to us in a particular and necessary order from the easiest to discover to the more difficult to discover. The necessary order of the discoveries means they can be rationally analysed and understood and this enables the study of social and cultural evolution to be put on a scientific basis. It also enables us to make scientifically based predictions about the future for the human species.
The Complexity of Recognition of Linguistically Adequate Dependency Grammars

description: Results of computational complexity exist for a wide range of phrase structure-based grammar formalisms, while there is an apparent lack of such results for dependency-based formalisms. We here adapt a result on the complexity of ID/LP-grammars to the dependency framework. Contrary to previous studies on heavily restricted dependency grammars, we prove that recognition (and thus, parsing) of linguistically adequate dependency grammars is NP-complete.
