If determinism is true, there is nothing I could have done that would have resulted in a different state of affairs, that is, in my not raising my arm at that time. For my raising my arm was bound to happen, given the ...

In this paper, we present a comprehensive design methodology for constructing small-scale UAV helicopters. The systematic design procedure, which includes hardware component selection, design and integration, as well as experimental evaluation, is utilized to construct a fully functional UAV helicopter, named SheLion. Various ground and flight tests have been performed to verify the feasibility...

The organizers of the fifth international conference on Open Repositories list nine polar dichotomies that represent “The Grand Integration Challenge” for the repository community/movement. In this paper we take up the challenge.

We present a data-driven model for predicting task completion in Project LISTEN’s Reading Tutor, which takes turns picking stories and listens to the child read aloud [1]. However, children do not always finish stories, and we would like to understand why, or at least detect when they are about to stop. So our EDM challenge is to learn a model to predict task completion – a widely used metric o...
