Ambiguity is a major difficulty for natural language processing (NLP) systems. The longer that ambiguities in a sentence remain unresolved, the more work an NLP system may perform in considering alternative interpretations of the sentence. Thus, for efficiency, an NLP system should resolve ambiguities as early as possible in processing. This report describes L parsing—an algorithm for table-dri...

The present paper focuses on some interesting classes of process-control games, where winning essentially means successfully controlling the process. A master for one of these games is an agent who plays a winning-strategy. In this paper we investigate situations, in which even a complete model (given by a program) of a particular game does not provide enough information to synthesize | even in...

The David Rozkuszka Scholarship provides financial assistance to an individual who is currently working with or in government information/documents a library and trying complete masters’ degree science. This $3,000 scholarship was created memory of Rozkuszka, former Documents Librarian at Stanford University.

Computational Science and Engineering is an inherently multidisciplinary field, the increasingly important partner of theory and experimentation in the development of knowledge. The Computer Architecture and Operating Systems department of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has created a new innovative masters degree programme with the aim of introducing students to core concepts in this fie...

Chemistry, for all the growth in theoretical chemistry, is the laboratory science. Some laboratory chemists have the chemical equivalent of the gardener’s green thumb; some have raised practice to an art; while others have demonstrated less skill, or have arrived at their results in such a way that their experiments were unreproducible by others. I want to look at some prominent chemists from a...

Falsification may demarcate science from non-science as the rational way to test the truth of hypotheses. But experimental evidence from studies of reasoning shows that people often find falsification difficult. We suggest that domain expertise may facilitate falsification. We consider new experimental data about chess experts’ hypothesis testing. The results show that chess masters were readil...
