We present an empirical study of the effect of a computer agent designed to engage a user in a persuasive counseling dialogue on attitudes towards regular exercise. We used two ma...
Abstract. Feature selection in reinforcement learning (RL), i.e. choosing basis functions such that useful approximations of the unkown value function can be obtained, is one of th...
Analogy is a fundamental process of creativity. Biologically inspired design by definition entails crossdomain analogies, and in practice has led to many innovative designs. Thus,...
Color red and blue the n vertices of a convex polytope P in R3 . Can we compute the convex hull of each color class in o(n log n)? What if we have χ > 2 colors? What if the co...
We describe the first algorithms to compute minimum cuts in surface-embedded graphs in near-linear time. Given an undirected graph embedded on an orientable surface of genus g, w...
