conversations contain spontaneous use of routine formulas which lets speaker sinteract with each other to express opinions. gambits, as one of these formulas, act as an opening remark and help speakers to maintain the smooth flow of an everyday conversation. the lack of mastery of using gambits in maintaining the conversation leads to breakdowns in speaking. this paper aimedat comparingthe use ...

Learning and exploiting problem structure is one of the key challenges in optimization. This is especially important for black-box optimization (BBO) where prior structural knowledge of a problem is not available. Existing model-based Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are very efficient at learning structure in both the discrete, and in the continuous domain. In this article, discrete and continuou...

The very first requirement to effectively use a computational fluid dynamics model is to prepare a 3D physical geometric model of the problem. Analysis of the fuel spray process involves specification of chamber space like bore and stroke of an internal combustion engine. Fluent software needs geometric meshing which in the present case is carried out using commercially available Gambit softwar...

In this paper we present a new method of integrating the placement and routing stages in the physical design of channel-based architectures, and present the first implementation of this method: Gambit. Based on a graph coloring representation of the routing problem, we are able to produce circuit placements and detailed routes simultaneously, allowing routing constraints to influence decisions ...

I examine the central atheistic argument of Richard Dawkins’s book The God Delusion (“Dawkins’s Gambit”) and illustrate its failure. I further show that Dawkins’s Gambit is a fragment of a more comprehensive critique of theism found in David Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. Among the failings of Dawkins’s Gambit is that it is directed against a version of the God Hypothesis that fe...
