'Upon This Quote I Will Build My Church Thesis'

Communications of the ACM

With this word, Leibniz famously enjoined the reader to compute. Contemporary logicians took this motto as a founding principle after the progressive discovery of the proof-as-program correspondence. This major breakthrough, also known as the Curry-Howard equivalence, is the seemingly simple observation that proofs and programs are the same object, in an essential way. One major offshoot of the Curry-Howard philosophical stance is Martin-Löf's type theory (MLTT), the theoretical underpinning of several widely used proof assistants such as Agda, Coq, or Lean.16 In these systems, there is no formal separation between proofs and programs, as they live in the same syntax and obey the same rules.


Story Grammar Semantic Matching for Literary Study

In Natural Language Processing (NLP), semantic matching algorithms have traditionally relied on the feature of word co-occurrence to measure semantic similarity. While this feature approach has proven valuable in many contexts, its simplistic nature limits its analytical and explanatory power when used to understand literary texts. To address these limitations, we propose a more transparent approach that makes use of story structure and related elements. Using a BERT language model pipeline, we label prose and epic poetry with story element labels and perform semantic matching by only considering these labels as features. This new method, Story Grammar Semantic Matching, guides literary scholars to allusions and other semantic similarities across texts in a way that allows for characterizing patterns and literary technique.


Early Detection Tools Help but They Can't Stop Every Wildfire

WIRED

A little after 6:25 am on November 8, 2018, a 911 dispatcher received the first report of a fire near the Poe Dam in northern California. Nineteen minutes later firefighters caught sight of what would become known as the Camp Fire. Drought had dried out plants in the area, and strong winds were blowing in the direction of Paradise, a town 10 miles to the southeast. "This has got potential for a major incident," fire chief Matt McKenzie reported back to incident command. An hour later hot embers were raining down on the south side of Paradise, sparking spot fires in advance of the main front.

But the change that made headlines most was a new app-hiding feature dubbed'cheater's paradise' because it allows people to conceal certain apps (like dating apps, for instance) in locked folders.

Parents call out 'Willy Wonka Experience' that used AI to sell an underwhelming time: 'Terrible'

FOX News

Tickets to the Willy's Chocolate Experience in Glasgow, Scotland, were marketed based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) images that sold parents on a magical experience, but when they showed up, it was anything but, according to reports. Parents called the police on Saturday because they felt scammed by the "absolute shambles of an event," the New York Post reported. The AI-generated images included giant candy displays and colorful lights, but children were instead greeted by a virtually empty warehouse with a printed AI background, a disappointing bouncy castle and hardly any candy. "Experience captivating live performances featuring charming characters singing original catchy tunes. This event guarantees an immersive and delightful entertainment experience suitable for aged 3 years old," according to the event website.


Judge rules that AI-generated art isn't copyrightable, since it lacks human authorship

Engadget

The USCO agreed that the work was generated by an AI model that Thaler calls the Creativity Machine. He claimed that the USCO's "human authorship" requirement was unconstitutional. However, Howell indicated that Thaler's case wasn't an especially complex one, since he admitted that he wasn't involved in the creation of A Recent Entrance to Paradise. "In the absence of any human involvement in the creation of the work, the clear and straightforward answer is the one given by the [Federal] Register: No," Howell ruled. Thaler plans to appeal the decision.

April 22, 2022 - Over the past several years, comedy writer Keaton Patti has popularized "bot scripts," in which he parodically imagines how a computer might synthesize 1,000 or more hours of information and then create its own imitative work. My personal favorite was a holiday-themed romantic comedy script, in which a "business man," whose "hands are briefcases," courts a "single mother," who "cannot date because of a snow curse."


'Stranger of Paradise' is your drunk dad's Final Fantasy

Washington Post - Technology News

The game's classes, named after the Final Fantasy "jobs" system, keep things engaging as different weapons yield different moves, much like in the Nioh series. It's worth stressing and warning Final Fantasy series veterans once again: This is barely a Final Fantasy game at all. In all but name, this is a more online cooperative sequel to the Nioh series instead. And online with friends or random players the game becomes a wildly entertaining Diablo-esque loot chase -- while it lasts. The endgame seems lacking; The only thing to chase are harder battles and more powerful gear.
