We present a model of surveillance based on the detection of community structure in social networks. We examine the extent of network topology information an adversary is required to gather in order to obtain high quality intelligence about community membership. We show that selective surveillance strategies can improve the adversary’s resource efficiency. However, the use of counter-surveillan...

This goal of this paper is to defend the plausibility of the argument that passing the Turing test is a sufficient condition for the presence of intelligence. To this effect, we put forth new objections to two famous counter-arguments: Searle’s ”Chinese Room” and Block’s ”Aunt Bertha.” We take Searle’s argument to consist of two points: 1) intelligence is not merely an ability to manipulate for...
