The authors investigated differences in the processes underlying two types of metacomprehension judgments: judgments of difficulty and predictions of performance (JOD vs. POP). An experiment was conducted to assess whether these two types of judgments aligned with different types of processing cues, and whether their accuracy correlated with different factors such as sensitivity to processing e...

Intelligent non-player characters that exhibit realistic ambient behaviors produce more captivating and immersive stories for the player. However, the creation of nonrepetitive and entertaining behaviors is challenging, since it involves writing complex custom scripting code for thousands of characters in a common game adventure. This demonstration describes the generation of motivational behav...

The aim of this note is to give a proof of Tate’s theorems on homomorphisms of abelian varieties over finite fields [22, 8], using ideas of [26, 27]. We give a unified treatment for both l 6= p and l = p cases. In fact, we prove a slightly stronger version of those theorems with “finite coefficients”. I am grateful to Frans Oort and Bill Waterhouse for useful discussions. My special thanks go t...

Come to this workshop to prepare and practice a negotiation strategy for a faculty position. In this workshop, we will help you answer the two most common questions asked by UCSF trainees during the negotiation process: What should I ask for? How can I ask for it? We highly recommend that you attend or watch the video from Bill Lindstaedt?s ?Negotiating your faculty job offer [1]? seminar prior...

I have been working in VR and interactive 3D for a long time. I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with many of the people that are directly responsible for creating the magic in the world that we live in today. These are the people that started with a virtual blank page and created their own reality. Their vision defined a vector into their future that we have had the privilege of ex...

We generalize the Bisin and Verdier (2000, 2001) model of intergenerational transmission to permit an arbitrary number of cultural traits. A key observation – that this model is equivalent to an evolutionary game under replicator dynamics – allows us to exploit the extensive literature on replicator systems. For some substantively interesting special cases, we demonstrate global stability of eq...

We describe an AI behavior architecture that supports responsive collaborative interruptible and resumable behaviors using behavior queues. This architecture wraps sets of behaviors into roles, which provide a simple efficient mechanism for encapsulating behaviors into components that can change dynamically, based on environmental criteria. To illustrate the viability of this architecture in a ...
