Registered index-linked annuities (RILAs) are increasingly popular equity-based re-tirement savings products o ered by U.S. life insurance companies. They combine features of xed-index annuities and traditional variable annuities (TVAs), o ering in-vestors equity exposure with downside protection in a tax-deferred setting. This article introduces RILAs to the academic literature by describing ...

AGI SYSTEMS For more than 60 years, AI researchers have been working on creating intelligent machines or programs that can perform intellectual tasks that a human being can. These tasks can vary a lot from playing chess, counting animals in a picture, performing commands given in a natural language to making jokes, having a conversation with a human, producing novel inventions and art. Weak-AI ...

Paul Scharre* Much of the debate on autonomous weapons presumes a choice between human versus autonomous decision-making over targeting and engagement decisions. In fact, in many situations, human-machine teaming in engagement decisions will not only be possible but preferable. Hybrid human-machine cognitive architectures will be able to leverage the precision and reliability of automation ...

Image Segmentation by Clustering (Using Mahalanobis Distance) - Manjit Chintapalli What is Image Segmentation ? To humans, an image is not just a random collection of pixels; it is a meaningful arrangement of regions and objects. There also exits a variety of images: natural scenes, paintings, etc. Despite the large variations of these images, humans have no problem to interpret them. Image ...

If the publication decisions of journals are a function of the statistical significance of re-search findings, the published literature may suffer from “publication bias.” This paper describes a method for detecting publication bias. We point out that to achieve statisti-cal significance, the effect size must be larger in small samples. If publications tend to be biased against ...

In this introductory chapter, we will clarify the notion of “Artificial General Intelligence”, briefly survey the past and present situation of the field, analyze and refute some common objections and doubts regarding this area of research, and discuss what we believe needs to be addressed by the field as a whole in the near future. Finally, we will briefly summarize the contents of the ...

a relation between multi-scale visual curvature and convexity of simple closed curves. To our best knowledge, the proposed definition of visual curvature is the first ever that applies to regular curves as defined in differential geometry as well as to turn angles of polygonal curves. Moreover, it yields stable curvature estimates of curves in digital images even under sever distortions.

ABSTRACT Motivation significantly influences learning and memory. While a long history of research has focused on simple forms of associative learning, such as Pavlovian conditioning, recent research is beginning to character-ize how motivation influences episodic memory. In this chapter we synthesize findings across behavioral, cognitive, and educational neuro-science to characterize ...

In considering Geach's accusation, I begin with two qualifications. First, (A) and (B) are expressed as general semantico-epistemological principles. The symbol 'T' implicitly ranges over all predicates. It is at least questionable whether Socrates is committed to principles of such generality. He is mainly interested in human virtue and its putative components. So it will be prudent, at least ...
