Numerous recent papers (including many NIPS papers) focus on standard recurrent nets' inability to deal with long time lags between relevant input signals and teacher signals. Rather sophisticated, alternative methods were proposed. We rst show: problems used to promote certain algorithms in numerous previous papers can be solved more quickly by random weight guessing than by the proposed algor...

• The insider and outsider attacks against the improved version (Subsection 3.1, Methods 1 and 2; Subsection 3.2 Method 1) are limited by the success of a guessing attack against the hash function. We highlight that the attacks assume the guessing of a random number (not a password, which would have been feasible!). Hence, if the hash function is properly selected, the attacks are infeasible1. ...

Shepperd and MacDonell “Evaluating prediction systems in software project estimation”. Information and Software Technology 54 (8), 820–827, 2012, proposed an improved measure of the effectiveness of predictors based on comparing them with random guessing. They suggest estimating the performance of random guessing using a Monte Carlo scheme which unfortunately excludes some correct guesses. This...

In a guessing game, players guess the value of a random real number selected using some probability density function. The winner may be determined in various ways; for example, a winner can be a player whose guess is closest in magnitude to the target, or a winner can be a player coming closest without guessing higher than the target. We study optimal strategies for players in these games and d...

Epistemic Indefinites (henceforth EIs) are indefinites in which this ignorance inference is conventionalized (Jayez and Tovena, 2006; Alonso-Ovalle and MenéndezBenito, 2010). Examples of epistemic indefinite determiners are German irgendein (Haspelmath, 1997; Kratzer and Shimoyama, 2002) and Italian un qualche (Zamparelli, 2007). Sentences (2) and (3) make an existential claim, and additionally...

In simple card games, cards are dealt one at a time and the player guesses each sequentially. We study problems where feedback (e.g., correct/incorrect) is given after guess. For decks with repeated values (as in blackjack suits do not matter), optimal strategy differs from “greedy strategy” (of guessing most likely round). Further, both greedy strategies far too complicated for real-time use b...

The use of large lecture halls in business and economic education often dictates the multiple-choice exams to measure student learning. This study asserts that performance on these types can be viewed as result process elimination incorrect answers, rather than selection correct answer. More specifically, how students respond a test broken down into fractions questions where no wrong answers el...

The Shannon theory of cipher systems is combined with recent work on guessing values of random variables. The security of encryption systems is measured in terms of moments of the number of guesses needed for the wiretapper to uncover the plaintext given the cryptogram. While the encrypter aims at maximizing the guessing effort, the wiretapper strives to minimize it, e.g., by ordering guesses a...
