What evolutionary game theory tells us about multiagent learning

This paper discusses If multi-agent learning is the answer, what is the question? [Y. Shoham, R. Powers, T. Grenager, If multiagent learning is the answer, what is the question? Artificial Intelligence 171 (7) (2007) 365–377, this issue] from the perspective of evolutionary game theory. We briefly discuss the concepts of evolutionary game theory, and examine the main conclusions from [Y. Shoham...

What Labor Market Theory Tells Us about the "New Economy"

The average unemployment rate for 1997 was 4.9 percent, well below most estimates of the nonaccelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU).1 One would therefore have expected to see an increase in inflation in 1997; yet, as measured by the CPI, inflation fell from 3.3 percent to 1.7 percent (December to December). This phenomenon of low unemployment accompanied by falling inflation has pro...

What π − π scattering tells us about chiral perturbation theory

We describe a rearrangement of the standard expansion of the symmetry breaking part of the QCD effective Lagrangian that includes into each order additional terms which in the standard chiral perturbation theory (χPT) are relegated to higher orders. The new expansion represents a systematic and unambiguous generalization of the standard χPT, and is more likely to converge rapidly. It provides a...

What Humour Tells Us About Discourse Theories

Many verbal jokes, like garden path sentences, pose difficulties to models of discourse since the initially primed interpretation needs to be discarded and a new one created based on subsequent statements. The effect of the joke depends on the fact that the second (correct) interpretation was not visible earlier. Existing models of discourse semantics in principle generate all interpretations o...
