While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.

  • Public Response to RFI on AI
    White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Request for Information on the Future of Artificial Intelligence Public Responses September 1, 2016 Respondent 1 Chris Nicholson, Skymind Inc. This submission will address topics 1, 2, 4 and 10 in the OSTP’s RFI: • the legal and governance implications of AI • the use of AI for public good • the social and economic implications of AI • the role of “market-shaping” approaches Governance, anomaly detection and urban systems The fundamental task in the governance of urban systems is to keep them running; that is, to maintain the fluid movement of people, goods, vehicles and information throughout the system, without which it ceases to function. Breakdowns in the functioning of these systems and their constituent parts are therefore of great interest, whether it be their energy, transport, security or information infrastructures. Those breakdowns may result from deteriorations in the physical plant, sudden and unanticipated overloads, natural disasters or adversarial behavior. In many cases, municipal governments possess historical data about those breakdowns and the events that precede them, in the form of activity and sensor logs, video, and internal or public communications. Where they don’t possess such data already, it can be gathered. Such datasets are a tremendous help when applying learning algorithms to predict breakdowns and system failures. With enough lead time, those predictions make pre- emptive action possible, action that would cost cities much less than recovery efforts in the wake of a disaster. Our choice is between an ounce of prevention or a pound of cure. Even in cases where we don’t have data covering past breakdowns, algorithms exist to identify anomalies in the data we begin gathering now.

  • “Global Dissident”: Georgi Markov As a Cold War Playwright and Exile
    STUDIA HISTORICA GEDANENSIA TOM V (2014) Vessela S. Warner (University of Alabama at Birmingham) “Global Dissident”: Georgi Markov as a Cold War Playwright and Exile Bulgarian writer Georgi Markov was undeniably one of the most controversial and internationally known Cold War dissidents and, after 1969, an expatriate‑turned‑exile.1 Although some of his literary works were censored during the time of political stagnation and tightened ideological control, he left his country as a legal tourist and privileged member of the Bulgarian intellectual elite. Under the pressure exercised on him by conservative statesmen and policing critics, the writer ultimately sought refuge in the West. Markov’s radio programs aired successfully on BBC and Deutsche Welle, but it was the chapters of his memoir Zadochni Reportazhi za Bulgaria (Correspondence on Bulgaria in Absentia),2 broadcasted on Radio Free Europe, which presented the most insightful and incriminatory account on Bulgarian dictatorial communism and attracted millions of listeners. This extensive political memoir ultimately led to the author’s assassination in London, widely known as the “Bulgarian umbrella murder”. Although Markov’s death and its long and complicated investigation have been extensively covered in journal articles, film documentaries, and spy histories,3 Markov’s literary work is less studied even in his own country, 1 The main difference between “expatriates” and “exiles,” as pointed by John Neubauer, is that the former leave their countries without being “existentially endangered [and] in principle they can return any time they want to”. See John Neubauer, Borbála Zsuzsanna Török, eds., The Exile and Return of Writers from East‑Central Europe.
