  • CS 4700: Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
    CS 4700: Foundations of Artificial Intelligence Bart Selman [email protected] Module: Informed Search Readings R&N - Chapter 3: 3.5 and 3.6 Search Search strategies determined by choice of node (in queue) to expand Uninformed search: – Distance to goal not taken into account Informed search : – Information about cost to goal taken into account Aside: “Cleverness” about what option to explore next, almost seems a hallmark of intelligence. E.g., a sense of what might be a good move in chess or what step to try next in a mathematical proof. We don’t do blind search… Basic idea: State evaluation Start state function can effectively guide search. Also in multi-agent settings. (Chess: board eval.) Reinforcement learning: Learn the state eval function. Goal A breadth-first search tree. Perfect “heuristics,” eliminates search. Approximate heuristics, significantly reduces search. Best (provably) use of search heuristic info: Best-first / A* search. Outline • Best-first search • Greedy best-first search • A* search • Heuristics How to take information into account? Best-first search. Idea : use an evaluation function for each node – Estimate of “desirability” of node – Expand most desirable unexpanded node first (“best-first search”) – Heuristic Functions : • f: States à Numbers • f(n): expresses the quality of the state n – Allows us to express problem-specific knowledge, – Can be imported in a generic way in the algorithms. – Use uniform-cost search. See Figure 3.14 but use f(n) instead of path cost g(n). – Queuing based on f(n): Order the nodes in fringe in decreasing order of desirability Special cases: • greedy best-first search • A* search Romanian path finding problem Base eg on GPS info.

  • Evidence from Hamburg's Import Trade, Eightee
    Economic History Working Papers No: 266/2017 Great divergence, consumer revolution and the reorganization of textile markets: Evidence from Hamburg’s import trade, eighteenth century Ulrich Pfister Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster Economic History Department, London School of Economics and Political Science, Houghton Street, London, WC2A 2AE, London, UK. T: +44 (0) 20 7955 7084. F: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC HISTORY WORKING PAPERS NO. 266 – AUGUST 2017 Great divergence, consumer revolution and the reorganization of textile markets: Evidence from Hamburg’s import trade, eighteenth century Ulrich Pfister Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster Email: [email protected] Abstract The study combines information on some 180,000 import declarations for 36 years in 1733–1798 with published prices for forty-odd commodities to produce aggregate and commodity specific estimates of import quantities in Hamburg’s overseas trade. In order to explain the trajectory of imports of specific commodities estimates of simple import demand functions are carried out. Since Hamburg constituted the principal German sea port already at that time, information on its imports can be used to derive tentative statements on the aggregate evolution of Germany’s foreign trade. The main results are as follows: Import quantities grew at an average rate of at least 0.7 per cent between 1736 and 1794, which is a bit faster than the increase of population and GDP, implying an increase in openness. Relative import prices did not fall, which suggests that innovations in transport technology and improvement of business practices played no role in overseas trade growth.

  • 1 Co? Was? German-Polish Linguistic Attitudes in Frankfurt (Oder)
    Co? Was ? German-Polish Linguistic Attitudes in Frankfurt (Oder) Megan Clark Senior Linguistics Thesis Bryn Mawr College 2010 In this study I analyze the linguistic attitudes held by Polish and German speakers in the border towns of Frankfurt an der Oder, Germany and Słubice, Poland, held together by a cross-border university. I consider the historical background in the relationship between the two communities, including but not limited to the effect of Germany and Poland’s separate entrances into the European Union and Schengen zone, which have divided the two countries until recently, as well as the adoption of the Euro in both Germany and, later, Poland. With consideration of this history, I explore the concept of linguistic attitudes in other border communities to mark parallels and differences in the attitudes of speakers on each side of the border, most notably different because of the presence of the university on both sides of the dividing river. I supplement this research with a study conducted on speakers themselves within each side of the community to explore the underlying thoughts and ideas behind attitudes toward speakers of the other language, investigating why so many Polish speakers are fluent in German, while only a few German students endeavor to learn Polish. The research we have conducted here explores a very important aspect of language attitudes as a proxy for European geo-political relations as exemplified in the role of Poland as an outlier in the European Union due to its late joining and reluctant acceptance of the Euro. Though student relations on the border are strong, the heart of Słubice remains untouched by German residents, despite full osmosis of Polish citizens into the heart of Frankfurt.

  • «Why History Education?»
    Digital Conference of the International Society for History Didactics (ISHD) 16-18 September 2021 «Why History Education?» Conference Organizers: Prof. Dr. Markus Furrer & Prof. Dr. Peter Gautschi, University of Teacher Education Lucerne, Institute of History Education and Memory Cultures, Switzerland Prof. Dr. Nadine Fink, University of Teacher Education, State of Vaud, Switzerland Pädagogische Hochschule Luzern Institut für Geschichtsdidaktik und Erinnerungskulturen Frohburgstrasse 3 CH -6002 Luzern Institut für Geschichtsdidaktik und Erinnerungskulturen - Institute und Forschungsgruppen - Forschung - phlu.ch INVITATION The question about the sense of history education has recently arisen vehemently. The mediation of history has to assert itself in the field of tension of power, economy and society. History teaching at schools has come under pressure in many places. On the one hand, it can be seen that, in different places, history teaching is instrumentalized for reinforcing nationalism. On the other hand, history as an independent school subject is, in many places, about to disappear from the curricula. Not least, the strong focusing of many school systems on usefulness raises questions as to what, in fact, the study of history might contribute to the understanding of the present and the functioning of society. This basic uncertainty concerning the aim and sense of history education stands in a strange contrast to the public sphere where a veritable boom of historical culture can be experienced. But, also there, the confidence in the orientating function of history for the present and future is small. Most strongly, all these questions emerge in particular when the history of one’ own country is conveyed. The conference thus opens up a wide field.

  • Deutscher Strafrechtslehrer
    Deutscher Strafrechtslehrer Statement by the undersigned German Professors of Criminal law on the "Green Paper of the Commission of the European Communities on the protection under criminal law of the financial interests of the European Communities and the creation of a European Public Prosecutor's Office" 1. The undersigned German professors of criminal law welcome the Commission's endeavours to prevent damage to the European Community's financial assets more effectively than previously. However, we would also draw attention to the fact that this is not in any way a new problem, and that subsidy fraud in a European context, for example, was dealt with as much as 30 years ago in the Tiedemann Study of subsidy crime, and has since been the subject of constant discussion. Thus, there is no need for an over-hasty, radical redefinition of the manner in which competence is shared between national and European regulations and institutions. 2. It therefore seems somewhat premature to provide detailed answers to the questions raised by the Green Paper - within the timeframe desired by the Commission these could only have been possible in a superficial and unscientific manner, without any discussion - which would give the impression that the Europeanization of criminal justice control mechanisms described in the Green Paper is the only way, with any promise of success, to eliminate the deficiencies in the European Community's protection of its financial assets. Regardless of the fact that the work of OLAF and EUROJUST must first be awaited and evaluated, and that the different drafts on substantive criminal law must be subjected to detailed critical examination and discussion, efforts towards control outside criminal law should also be intensified, including the removal of elements of the European system of subsidies which encourage criminal behaviour.
