This paper introduces the notion of witnessed presence arguing that the performative act of witnessing presence is fundamental to dynamics of negotiating trust and truth. As the a...
We give the first black-box reduction from arbitrary approximation algorithms to truthful approximation mechanisms for a non-trivial class of multiparameter problems. Specifically,...
We present a new forward chaining planner, TALplanner, based on ideas developed by Bacchus [5] and Kabanza [11], where domain-dependent search control knowledge represented as tem...
Many natural language processing tasks, including information extraction, question answering and recognizing textual entailment, require analysis of the polarity, focus of polarit...
Optimistic concurrency algorithms provide good performance for parallel programs but they are extremely hard to reason about. Program logics such as concurrent separation logic and...
