The problem of achieving common understanding between agents that use different vocabularies has been mainly addressed by techniques that assume the existence of shared external elements, such as a meta-language or a physical environment. In this article, we consider agents that use different vocabularies and only share knowledge of how to perform a task, given by the specification of an interaction protocol. We present a framework that lets agents learn a vocabulary alignment from the experience of interacting. Unlike previous work in this direction, we use open protocols that constrain possible actions instead of defining procedures, making our approach more general. We present two techniques that can be used either to learn an alignment from scratch or to repair an existent one, and we evaluate their performance experimentally.

Accurate forecasts of COVID-19 is central to resource management and building strategies to deal with the epidemic. We propose a heterogeneous infection rate model with human mobility for epidemic modeling, a preliminary version of which we have successfully used during DARPA Grand Challenge 2014. By linearizing the model and using weighted least squares, our model is able to quickly adapt to changing trends and provide extremely accurate predictions of confirmed cases at the level of countries and states of the United States. We show that during the earlier part of the epidemic, using travel data increases the predictions. Training the model to forecast also enables learning characteristics of the epidemic. In particular, we show that changes in model parameters over time can help us quantify how well a state or a country has responded to the epidemic. The variations in parameters also allow us to forecast different scenarios such as what would happen if we were to disregard social distancing suggestions.

The Traveling Salesman Problem is a well known challenge in Computer Science: it consists on finding the shortest route possible that traverses all cities in a given map only once. Although its simple explanation, this problem is, indeed, NP-Complete. This implies that the difficulty to solve it increases rapidly with the number of cities, and we do not know in fact a general solution that solves the problem. For that reason, we currently consider that any method able to find a sub-optimal solution is generally good enough (we cannot verify if the solution returned is the optimal one most of the times). To solve it, we can try to apply a modification of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) technique.

ESF thus beckons the valuation of ecosystem services (VES) as a means to signalling nature's contribution to the (re)production of value (Barbier et al., 2009; Villa et al., 2009; Fisher et al., 2010; Gómez-Baggethun et al., 2016); for value is the central category of modern capitalist societies, and the valorisation of value -- i.e., economic growth sublimated into economic development -- their driving force (see, e.g., Mankiw (2016) and Holden et al. (2017)). VES is, in this sense, inscribed in an interpretive approach to modern capitalist praxis, not only invoking assumptions that are instrumentally validated in a retroactive manner, but also taking for granted precisely those historical and material conditions which VES is meant to interpret and, in doing so, reproduce. Overlooking the historical basis of ESF and VES has important practical consequences. When VES practitioners elicit value, a moment or specific field of the social praxis embodied in the valorisation of value is inaugurated, allowing value to mediate other social constructs built around the idea of nature. Since the patterns of actions that make up the capitalist social praxis are presupposed within this new ambit, value takes on a transhistorical quality that justifies its allencompassing and unreflective usage (see, e.g., Badura et al. (2016) and Gómez-Baggethun and Martín-López (2015)).

Plants are intelligent beings with profound wisdom to impart--if only we know how to listen. And Monica Gagliano knows how to listen. The evolutionary ecologist has done groundbreaking experiments suggesting plants have the capacity to learn, remember, and make choices. Gagliano, a senior research fellow at the University of Sydney in Australia, talks to plants. Plants summon her with instructions on how to live and work. Some of Gagliano's conversations happened in prophetic dreams, which led her to study with a shaman in Peru while tripping on psychoactive plants. Along with forest scientists like Suzanne Simard and Peter Wohlleben, Gagliano raises profound scientific and philosophical questions about the nature of intelligence and the possibility of "vegetal consciousness." But what's unusual about Gagliano is her willingness to talk about her experiences with shamans and traditional healers, along with her use of psychedelics. For someone who'd already received fierce pushback from other scientists, it was hardly a safe career move to reveal her personal experiences in otherworldly realms. Gagliano considers her explorations in non-Western ways of seeing the world to be part of her scientific work.

In order to facilitate the production of codes using WiSARD-based models, LabZero developed an ML library C++/Python called wisardpkg. This library is an MIT-licensed open-source package hosted on GitHub under the license.

In the last week, globally, we are slowly moving into a post-pandemic world. In the U.S. where the Covid-19 pandemic affected everyone, states are starting to open up. During the pandemic, many of us, have been working from home, adapting to our country's social distancing protocols. Post-pandemic, most of us know that this pandemic has forever changed the way that we work and the way that we view work. Companies have a new set of organizational challenges.

From helping in the global fight against Covid-19 to driving cars and writing classical symphonies, artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the world we live in. But not everyone is comfortable with this new reality. The billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has referred to AI as the "biggest existential threat" of our time. With recent scientific studies testing the technology's ability to evolve on its own, every step in its development throws up new concerns as to who is in control and how it will affect the lives of ordinary people. Here are 9 important milestones in the history of AI and the ethical concerns that have long loomed over the field.
