Interpersonal relations are in constant flux; close friendships often dissolve into enmity. We examine linguistic cues augur transitions from friendly bonds into hostile relations through conversations from online strategy games. We look at betrayal from two perspectives in a classification framework: we characterize the difference between friendships that break and friendships that last, and w...

Interpersonal communication represents one of the most important aspects in the process of education. Its role may be seen at multiple levels. It can also be considered as a generator of interpersonal relations in the educational process as well as a consequence of the established interpersonal relations at the subject level in the educational process. In other words, interpersonal communicatio...

We consider stability concepts for random matchings where agents have preferences over objects and objects have priorities for the agents. When matchings are deterministic, the standard stability concept also captures the fairness property of no (justified) envy. When matchings can be random, there are a number of natural stability / fairness concepts that coincide with stability / no envy when...

Tarski showed that mathematics can be built up in the equational theory EqRA of relation algebras (RA's), hence EqRA is undecidable. He raised the problem "how much associativity of relation composition is needed for this result." Maddux defined the classes NA 3 WA "J SA D RA by gradually weakening the associativity of relation composition, and he proved that the equational theory of SA is stil...

We might visualize a semiotic system that depended, in the absence of the power of speech,, upon the ~pperception by the hu.m,an participants o-f contextually defined logical relations among themselves in space. Let us say: the relative position of each participant to another -in a gathering, and to items in· a fixed environment. The 'elements' of the semiotic would be stated by their existenti...

This paper presents the progicnet programme. It proposes a general framework for probabilistic logic that can guide inference based on both logical and probabilistic input, and it introduces a common calculus for making inferences in the framework. After an introduction to the programme as such, it is illustrated by means of a toy example from psychometrics. It is shown that the framework and c...
