March 16, 2022 In December 2016, when reviewing the second edition of BASIC TRIAL ADVOCACY, I wrote the following: NITA – the National Institute for Trial Advocacy – deserves great credit for providing [advocacy lessons] in a concise, reader-friendly form in TRIAL ADVOCACY BASICS (NITA, 2016) by Molly Townes O’Brien and Gary S. Gildin. BASICS is an effective resource, whether the reader ...

Abstract Targeted promotions based on individual purchase history can increase sales. However, the opportunity costs of targeting to optimize promoted product sales are poorly understood. A series of randomized field experiments with a large e-book platform shows that although targeted promotions increase promoted product sales and purchases of similar products, they can crowd out purchases of ...

1. Introduction and motivation This paper provides empirical evidence of a strong causal relation between an important organizational feature, the structure of managerial compensation and corresponding incentives, and value-critical managerial decisions, specifically, those derived from both investment policy and debt policy. The primary characteristic of compensation that we consider is the ...

In various passages of his corpus Plato’s dramatic characters discuss pain. With respect to what pain is, including what kinds of pain there are, the most incisive discussions occur at Republic 583-587, Philebus 31-55, and Timaeus 64-65.1 The foci of these passages dif-fer from one another and do so in several ways. First the Republic and Philebus passages focus on pleasure. However Plato ...

Though people have different opinions on how to accurately define AI, on a more general level they do agree on what this field is about. Human beings differ from animals and machines significantly in their mental ability, which is commonly called “intelligence”, and AI is the attempt to reproduce this ability in computer systems. This vague consensus sets important constraints on how AI ...

A variety of "worlds" are being used as examples for Knowledge Representation, Reasoning, and Planning. Among them the Vacuum World, the Block World, and the Wumpus World. We will examine the Wumpus World and in this context introduce the Situation Calculus, the Frame Problem, and a variety of axioms.

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers or other mathematical objects, for which operations such as addition and multiplication are defined. Most of this article focuses on real matrices, i.e., matrices whose elements are real numbers. For instance, this is a real matrix: The numbers, symbols or expressions in the matrix are called its entries or its elements. The horizontal and vertical ...

Zhanteng Xie, Pujie Xin, and Philip Dames Abstract—This paper proposes a novel neural network-based control policy to enable a mobile robot to navigate safety through environments filled with both static obstacles, such as tables and chairs, and dense crowds of pedestrians. The network architecture uses early fusion to combine a short history of lidar data with kinematic data about nearby ...

To circumvent the above challenges, we introduce the Mean-Field Game (MFG) theory [29] to reduce a one-to-many game to a one-to-one game and further propose a joint MFG framework for mobile edge Caching and Pricing, namely MFG-CP, where each EDP can optimize its own utility in a distributed manner.
