Look Ahead in Misdemeanor Cases

Look Ahead Features in Metaheuristics

In many meta-heuristics greedy choices are performed and usually measured by means of an immediate gain eventually leading to suboptimal choices. Usually, the measure of this gain as well as a mechanism to guide the choices given the evaluations is performed rather shortsighted. Therefore, especially in the artificial intelligence community researchers have thought about looking ahead (see, e.g...

A look back, a look ahead.

The experts look ahead

The future of integrated electronics is the future of electronics itself. The advantages of integration will bring about a proliferation of electronics, pushing this science into many new areas. Integrated circuits will lead to such wonders as home computers—or at least terminals connected to a central computer—automatic controls for automobiles, and personal portable communications equipment. ...

Adaptive Look-Ahead Planning

We present a new adaptive connectionist planning method. By interaction with an environment a world model is progressively constructed using the backpropagation learning algorithm. The planner constructs a look-ahead plan by iteratively using this model to predict future reinforcements. Future reinforcement is maximized to derive suboptimal plans, thus determining good actions directly from the...

A look back and a look ahead.

The author reviews a series of predictions made more than two decades ago regarding nursing and nursing administration. These concerned the work of nursing, the workers involved in nursing, the environment surrounding practice, and the nurse's role. While many of the forecasts were right on target, others fell short of the mark; both are discussed in light of the challenges facing nurse adminis...
