A Novel Framework for Self-Organizing Lists in Environments with Locality of Reference: Lists-on-Lists

We examine the problem of self-organizing linear search lists, which are lists that react to queries received from an environment by running a heuristic to reorganize the records in order to minimize the search cost. In particular, we are concerned with environments with the locality of reference phenomenon, when the queries exhibit a probabilistic dependence between themselves. We introduce a ...

Reference without Causal Links

This enlarges on earlier work attempting to show in a general way how it might be possible for a machine to use symbols with ‘non-derivative’ semantics. It elaborates on the author’s earlier suggestion that computers understand symbols referring to their own internal ‘virtual’ worlds. A machine that grasps predicate calculus notation can use a set of axioms to give a partial, implicitly defined...

To Cite or Not to Cite: A Note of Annoyance

Sociologists often talk about the “reward” system in science and scholarship. Publication of papers, especially in prestigious journals, adds to an author’s credits. When an author’s work contributes to your own work he is entitled to some “reward” for adding to the world’s knowledge. These rewards are usually given in the form of reference citations. This is, of course, an over-simplification,...

Using population synthesis tools we create a synthetic Kepler Input Catalogue (KIC) and subject it to the Kepler Stellar Classification Program (SCP) method for determining stellar parameters such as the effective temperature Teff and surface gravity g. We achieve a satisfactory match between the synthetic KIC and the real KIC in the log g versus log Teff diagram, while there is a significant d...
