  • 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.

  • Quantum Dot Structures in the Ingaas System Investigated by TEM Techniques

SCHNEIDER** Max-Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Halle / Saale, Germany *Technical University of Berlin, Berlin, Germany **Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany Quantum Dot Structures in the InGaAs System Investigated by TEM Techniques Dedicated to Prof. Dr. J. Heydenreich on the occasion of his 70th birthday Quantum dot structures have gained increasing interest in materials science due to their special electrical and optical behavior. A combination of electron-optical techniques is applied to correlate such properties with the morphology and structure of quantum dots in the InGaAs system. TEM techniques, e.g. imaging by conventional diffraction contrast, by high-resolution TEM and by energy filtering (EFTEM) are focused on the determination of parameters, like shape and size of islands, their chemical composition and the complex lattice strain fields. An image contrast analysis in terms of shape and strain demands the application of image simulation techniques based on the dynamical theory and on structure models refined by molecular dynamics or molecular static energy minimization. Keywords: : quantum dots, InGaAs, Transmission Electron Microscopy, crystal structure (Received May 4, 2000; Accepted July 1, 2000) 1. Introduction The investigation of semiconducting nanostructures is especially focused on the properties of so-called quantum dots (QD), which are embedded in a different semiconducting bulk or in other materials. The possibility of arranging such particles or ”dots” into complex arrays implies many opportunities for scientific investigations and technological applications. Over the last 10 years, various ways have been applied successfully to create semiconductor particles of several 10 nm in size, evidencing special properties to be different from the bulk behavior (for an overview see, e.g., MRS Bulletin).

  • 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.

It’s a success story that the entrepreneurs and scientists in our Free State are continuing to write to this very day. And in the process, our producers and services providers can draw upon a multifaceted research environment which currently comprises no less than nine universities and universities of applied sciences, a total of 14 institutions run by the Fraunhofer, Leibniz, Max-Planck, and Helmholtz scientific societies, as well as eight research institutions with close ties to the economy.
