Hal Abelson wants to deliver a one-two punch against the privatization of academic discourse. His weapons of choice? New global initiatives based on MIT’s own OpenCourseWare (OCW) and DSpace. Abelson owns to a “real anxiety that people are quick to talk about academic exchange under the rubrics o...

The de Bono Hats system (also known as "Six Hats" or "Six Thinking Hats") is a thinking tool for group discussion and individual thinking. Combined with the idea of parallel thinking which is associated with it, it provides a means for groups to think together more effectively, and a means to pl...

Znanost kot resnica oblasti-moči, ki hkrati slednjo tudi reproducira, v pogojih neoliberalnega hiperkapitalizma izgublja ne le znotraj sebe, v diskriminatornih razmerjih in hegemonih postavitvah centrov odločanja in financiranja, temveč tudi izven sebe (kot potencialno področje družbene avtorite...

In semi-supervised learning, at the limit of infinite unlabeled points while fixing labeled ones, the solutions of several graph Laplacian regularization based algorithms were shown by Nadler et al. (2009) to degenerate to constant functions with "spikes" at labeled points in Rd for d ¸ 2. These...

We address the problem of competing with any large set of $N$ policies in the non-stochastic bandit setting, where the learner must repeatedly select among $K$ actions but observes only the reward of the chosen action. We present a modification of the Exp4 algorithm of Auer et al. called Exp4.P,...

We describe a new approach for modeling the distribution of high-dimensional vectors of discrete variables. This model is inspired by the restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM), which has been shown to be a powerful model of such distributions. However, an RBM typically does not provide a tractable ...

The web is an open space and the standards by which it is "governed" must be open. However, one barrier clearly remains to make the web even more transnational and truly global. This has been called "the language barrier". Language Service Providers translation business model is clearly antiquat...
