Quitting Games
Authors: Eilon Solan, Nicolas Vieille
Venue: Mathematics of Operations Research (2001)

Quitting games aren-player sequential games in which, at any stage, each player has the choice betweencontinuing andquitting. The game ends as soon asat least one player chooses to quit; playeri then receives a payoffr iS , which depends on the setS of players that did choose to quit. If the game never ends, the payoff to each player is 0.The paper has four goals: (i) We prove the existence of a subgame-perfect uniform e-equilibrium under some assumptions on the payoff structure; (ii) we study the structure of the e-equilibrium strategies; (iii) we present a new method for dealing withn-player games; and (iv) we study an example of a four-player quitting game where the "simplest" equilibrium is cyclic with Period 2.We also discuss the relation to Dynkin's stopping games and provide a generalization of our result to these games.

Risk, Ambiguity, and the Separation of Utility and Beliefs
Authors: Paolo Ghirardato, Massimo Marinacci
Venue: Mathematics of Operations Research (2001)

We introduce a general model of static choice under uncertainty, arguably the weakest model achieving a separation of cardinal utility and a unique representation of beliefs. Most of the nonexpected utility models existing in the literature are special cases of it. Such separation is motivated by the view that tastes are constant, whereas beliefs change with new information. The model has a simple and natural axiomatization.Elsewhere (forthcoming), we show that it can be very helpful in the characterization of a notion of ambiguity aversion, as separating utility and beliefs allows us to identify and remove aspects of risk attitude from the decision maker's behavior. Here we show that the model allows us to generalize several results on the characterization of risk aversion in betting behavior. These generalizations are of independent interest, as they show that some traditional results for subjective expected utility preferences can be formulated only in terms of binary acts.

Automatic extraction of object-oriented component interfaces
Authors: John Whaley, Michael C. Martin, Monica S. Lam
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGSOFT international symposium on Software testing and analysis (2002)

Component-based software design is a popular and effective approach to designing large systems. While components typically have well-defined interfaces, sequencing information---which calls must come in which order---is often not formally specified.This paper proposes using multiple finite statemachine (FSM) submodels to model the interface of a class. A submodel includes a subset of methods that, for example, implement a Java interface, or access some particular field. Each state-modifying method is represented as a state in the FSM, and transitions of the FSMs represent allow able pairs of consecutive methods. In addition, state-preserving methods are constrained to execute only under certain states.We have designed and implemented a system that includes static analyses to deduce illegal call sequences in a program, dynamic instrumentation techniques to extract models from execution runs, and a dynamic model checker that ensures that the code conforms to the model. Extracted models can serve as documentation; they can serve as constraints to be enforced by a static checker; they can be studied directly by developers to determine if the program is exhibiting unexpected behavior; or they can be used to determine the completeness of a test suite.Our system has been run on several large code bases, including the joeq virtual machine, the basic Java libraries, and the Java 2 Enterprise Edition library code. Our experience suggests that this approach yields useful information.

From setting up a database, building a user interface, and writing queries, to constructing a three-tiered client server system based on SQL Server and ActiveX components providing business rule validation, this book talks you through the most common cases and shows you many of the tricks and traps of real-world database development using Visual Basic.
Charting a knowledge base solution: empowering student-employees and delivering expert answers
Authors: Kevin Davis
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

This paper describes the creation of Eureka, a knowledge base solution developed in 2000 at Harvard and the first-place winner in the Student Employee Web Site category at SIGUCCS 2001. Our methodology in creating Eureka was to focus on creating a central core of knowledge: expert answers to common questions, stored in a lowest-common-denominator format accessible across a variety of channels. This core set of knowledge allows our organization to maintain full control over a set of official answers that student staff may then propagate to end users in person, over the telephone, and via the Web and e-mail.

Application of the Self-Organizing Feature Map Algorithm in Facial Image Morphing
Authors: Mu-Chun Su, I-Chen Liu
Venue: Neural Processing Letters (2001)

A new facial image morphing algorithm based on the Kohonen self-organizing feature map (SOM) algorithm is proposed to generate a smooth 2D transformation that reflects anchor point correspondences. Using only a 2D face image and a small number of anchor points, we show that the proposed morphing algorithm provides a powerful mechanism for processing facial expressions.
Algorithmic and Knowledge-Based CAD for VLSI, 1st edition
Authors: Gordon Russell
Venue:  (1992)

:The continuing growth in the size and complexity of VLSI devices requires a parallel development of well-designed, efficient CAD tools. Such tools must be available for the whole design cycle - synthesis and functional verification, testability analysis, test generation and fault coverage and layout. The majority of commercially available tools are based on an algorithmic approach to the problem and there is a continuing research effort aimed at improving existing tools of this form and developing new algorithms. The sheer complexity of the problem has, however, led to an interest in examining the applicability of expert systems and other knowledge based techniques to certain problems in the area and a number of results are becoming available.The aim of this book, which is based on material given at an IEE Colloquium of the same name, is to sample the present state-of-the-art in CAD for VLSI. It covers both newly developed algorithms and applications of techniques from the artificial intelligence community. The editors believe it will prove of interest to all engineers concerned with design and testing of integrated circuits and systems. Although it is not intended as a course text, many of the chapters will provide background reading for postgraduate and final year undergraduate students following courses in VLSI design. Chapters are arranged in three groups covering topics in synthesis, test and testability and layout.

Feature Selection for Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
Authors: Huan Liu, Hiroshi Motoda
Venue:  (1998)

:With advanced computer technologies and their omnipresent usage, data accumulates in a speed unmatchable by the human's capacity to process data. To meet this growing challenge, the research community of knowledge discovery from databases emerged. The key issue studied by this community is, in layman's terms, to make advantageous use of large stores of data. In order to make raw data useful, it is necessary to represent, process, and extract knowledge for various applications. Feature Selection for Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining offers an overview of the methods developed since the 1970's and provides a general framework in order to examine these methods and categorize them. This book employs simple examples to show the essence of representative feature selection methods and compares them using data sets with combinations of intrinsic properties according to the objective of feature selection. In addition, the book suggests guidelines for how to use different methods under various circumstances and points out new challenges in this exciting area of research. Feature Selection for Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining is intended to be used by researchers in machine learning, data mining, knowledge discovery, and databases as a toolbox of relevant tools that help in solving large real-world problems. This book is also intended to serve as a reference book or secondary text for courses on machine learning, data mining, and databases.

Recognizing Dart-Free Perfect Graphs
Authors: V. Chvátal, J. Fonlupt, L. Sun, A. Zemirline
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

A graph G is called a Berge graph if neither G nor its complement contains a chordless cycle whose length is odd and at least five; what we call a dart is the graph with vertices u,v,w,x,y and edges uv,vw,uy,vy,wy,xy; a graph is called dart-free if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to the dart. We present a polynomial-time algorithm to recognize dart-free Berge graphs; this algorithm uses as a subroutine the polynomial-time algorithm for recognizing claw-free Berge graphs designed previously by Chvátal and Sbihi [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 44 (1988), pp. 154--176].
