Non-player characters in games generally lack believability and deep interactivity. The AI system Comme il Faut begins to tackle this by modeling social state and behaviors for game characters. The player initiates social exchanges and the dialog and outcome are generated and displayed in their entirety. In this paper we present a model called social practices to extend Comme il Faut. Social pr...

In this paper, a novel approach for printed character recognition using linear symmetry is proposed. When the conventional character recognition methods such as the arti1cial neural network based techniques are used to recognise Brahmi Sinhala script, segmentation of modi1ed characters into modi1er symbols and basic characters is a necessity but a complex issue. The large size of the character ...

 Suppose $f$ is a map from a non-empty finite set $X$ to a finite group $G$. Define the map $zeta^f_G: Glongrightarrow mathbb{N}cup {0}$ by $gmapsto |f^{-1}(g)|$. In this article, we show that for a suitable choice of $f$, the map $zeta^f_G$ is a character. We use our results to show that the solution function for the word equation $w(t_1,t_2,dots,t_n)=g$ ($gin G$) is a character, where $w(t_1,...

We continue [Sh:h].II, studying stability theory for abstract elementary classes. In [Sh E46], Shelah obtained a non-forking relation for an AEC, (K, ), with LST -number at most λ, which is categorical in λ and λ and has less than 2 + models of cardinality λ, but at least one. This non-forking relation satisfies the main properties of the non-forking relation on stable first order theories. Her...

The higher than classical efficiency exhibited by some quantum algorithms is here ascribed to their non-mechanistic character, which becomes evident by joining the notions of entanglement and quantum measurement. Measurement analogically sets a (partial) constraint on the output of the computation of a hard-to-reverse function. This constraint goes back in time along the reversible computation ...
