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. -

A Network Analysis of Sibiu County, Romania ⇑ Cristina-Nicol Grama A,1, Rodolfo Baggio B, a University of Applied Sciences, Austria B Bocconi University, Italy
Research Notes / Annals of Tourism Research 47 (2014) 77–95 89 A network analysis of Sibiu County, Romania ⇑ Cristina-Nicol Grama a,1, Rodolfo Baggio b, a University of Applied Sciences, Austria b Bocconi University, Italy Introduction Modern network analysis methods are increasingly used in tourism studies and have shown to be able to provide scholars and practitioners with interesting outcomes. Nonetheless, the availability of investigations conducted at a broad scale on tourism destinations is still limited thus restraining our ability to understand the mechanisms that underlie the formation and the evolution of these complex adaptive systems. With this research note we aim at contributing to the field by augmenting the cat- alogue of tourism destination network studies and present the preliminary results of an investigation conducted in the county of Sibiu, a renowned Romanian destination. The data Sibiu county lies in the heart of Romania (270 km from Bucharest) in the historical region of Tran- sylvania. In 2007, Sibiu has been the European Capital of Culture (together with Luxembourg). The destination accounts for roughly 250 000 arrivals and 460 000 overnight stays. Sibiu has a manage- ment organisation (AJTS) which is a public-private partnership in charge of promoting and marketing the county as a destination, and working in close collaboration with the local government. The tourism infrastructure is well developed and counts about 500 establishments providing more than 6000 rooms (all data and a thorough description in Richards & Rotariu, 2011). The data for the network analysis were collected by using a number of publicly available docu- ments (see Baggio, Scott, & Cooper, 2010 for details) complemented by a survey conducted on 551 operators (179 questionnaires were returned) aimed at validating the data collected and evaluating type and intensity of the relationships. -
From Meseberg to Sibiu Four Paths to European ‚Weltpolitikfähigkeit’
POLICY PAPER 15 NOVEMBER 2018 #WELTPOLITIKFÄHIGKEIT #MESEBERG #CFSP FROM MESEBERG TO SIBIU FOUR PATHS TO EUROPEAN ‚WELTPOLITIKFÄHIGKEIT’ Executive summary ▪ NICOLE KOENIG The EU has to become more ‘weltpolitikfähig’: it has to be able to play a role, as a Union, in Deputy Director, shaping global affairs. This was one of the key messages of Juncker’s 2018 State of the Union Jacques Delors Institute speech as well as the Franco-German Meseberg Declaration. The question is of course: how? Berlin This new label cannot conceal the fact that the EU’s Weltpolitikfähigkeit is confronted by a trilem- ma of three partly conflicting objectives: internal legitimacy, efficiency/speed, and effectiveness. This policy paper explores four paths towards greater Weltpolitikfähigkeit proposed by the Meseberg Declaration: It questions to what extent Paris and Berlin are truly on the same page and how these proposals interact with the trilemma identified above. 1. An extension of qualified majority voting The extension of qualified majority voting to sub-areas (passerelle clause) or selected deci- sions (enabling clause) within the realm of the Common Foreign and Security Policy aims at enhancing the EU’s efficiency and effectiveness. However, the debate is likely to run into political blockades, as member states will point to a lack of legitimacy and cling on to their national sovereignty. 2. An EU Security Council There is general Franco-German agreement on such a format but divergence on the details. There could be a less ambitious reform whereby the European Council would meet yearly in the format of a European Security Council. Its impact on efficiency and effectiveness would, however, be limited. -
