Amazons is a relatively new game with some similarities to the ancient games of chess and Go. The game has become popular recently with combinatorial games researchers as well as in the computer games community. Amazons combines global full-board with local combinatorial game features. In the opening and early middle game, the playing pieces roam freely across the whole board, but later in the ...

There exist large data in science and business. Existing ILP systems cannot be applied effectively for data sets with 10000 data points. In this paper, we consider a technique which can be used to apply for more than 10000 data by simplifying it. Our approach is called Approximative Generalisation and can compress several data points into one example. In case that the original examples are mixt...

Any precise version of H-D needs to handle various problems, most notably, the problem of selective confirmation: Precise formulations of H-D should not have the consequence that where S confirms T, for any T', S confirms T&T'. It is the perceived failure of H-D to solve such problems that has lead John Earman to recently conclude that H-D is "very nearly a dead horse". This suggests the follow...
