The document discusses a study that found cooperating with others activates reward centers in the brain. Researchers used brain imaging to study women playing a game where they could choose cooperation or not. Surprisingly, the women experienced the most pleasure when both chose cooperation over acting selfishly. The longer they cooperated, the stronger the brain's reward response became. This suggests humans are wired to experience joy from cooperation with others.

Geometric Distribution
The document discusses the geometric distribution, a discrete probability distribution that models the number of Bernoulli trials needed to get one success. It defines the geometric distribution and gives its probability mass function. Some key properties and applications are discussed, including: the mean is 1/p, the variance is q/p^2, where q is 1-p. It is used in situations like modeling the probability of events occurring after repeated independent trials with a constant probability of success each trial. Examples given include analyzing success rates in sports and deciding when to stop research trials.
Parameterization of Equilibrium Assessment in Bayesian Game with Its Applicat...
The document presents a method for computing the belief corresponding to a given Bayesian Nash equilibrium (BNE) in a two-player two-action game with two types. It formulates the game and BNE, models the pair of belief and strategy as an equilibrium assessment, and shows that this can be represented as a nonlinear dynamical system. The main result establishes fractional forms that provide constant ratios between the belief and strategies, allowing the belief to be computed given a desired BNE. A numerical example applies the method and verifies the computed belief corresponds to the BNE.

This paper proposes using Naive Bayes models to predict the probability of a goal being scored in the NHL based on shot attributes, player information, and game situation. The paper develops two Naive Bayes models: an Empirical Naive Bayes model using empirical densities directly from the data without parametric assumptions, and a Parametric Naive Bayes model fitting known distributions to the data. Both models are compared to a logistic regression baseline using cross-validation. The Empirical Naive Bayes model has the lowest error rates overall, while the Parametric Naive Bayes and logistic regression models perform similarly. The models can help identify favorable and unfavorable shots and locations to inform player placement strategy.
Transition Models of Equilibrium Assessment in Bayesian Game
This document summarizes a presentation on modeling the dynamics of equilibrium assessment in Bayesian games. The presentation introduces a static Bayesian game with two players and two actions. It then derives a novel condition for a Bayesian Nash equilibrium involving polynomials. This condition allows discovering a discrete-time dynamical system whose state involves an equilibrium assessment. The dynamics map one equilibrium assessment to another over time. Simulation results confirm the states converge over time.
Game theory is the study of strategic decision making
Game theory is the study of strategic decision making between intelligent rational decision makers. It originated in economics and is used in fields like political science and psychology. Game theory analyzes interactions with both cooperative and non-cooperative games. Modern game theory began with John von Neumann's work on mixed strategy equilibria in two-person zero-sum games. Von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern's 1944 book Theory of Games and Economic Behavior was influential in establishing game theory. Game theory has been widely applied, including in biology since the 1970s, and has helped explain behaviors in economics, politics and other fields.
A STRATEGIC HYBRID TECHNIQUE TO DEVELOP A GAME PLAYER
The document presents a strategic hybrid technique that combines minimax search and Aggregate Malanobis Distance Function (AMDF) to develop an intelligent game player for Awale, a mancala board game. The technique was tested in a series of 10 games against an existing Awale program at different skill levels. The results showed that the hybrid player performed well at initial levels and competed strongly at higher levels, defeating the existing program at some levels on average while losing to the grandmaster level program. The combination of minimax search and AMDF provides an efficient and adaptive approach for game playing.

The document analyzes the network structures of two asynchronous learning networks (ALNs) using social network analysis and Markov stochastic models. For the structured ALN, it found cohesive macro-structures with distributed roles and powers. Micro-structure analysis found effects of transitivity and multiple responses, aligned with balance theory and collective action theory. For the unstructured ALN, tutor responsiveness and mutuality effects were found, aligned with pre-assigned role and social exchange theories. Both ALNs showed a negative tendency for response pairing, aligned with social capital network theory.

This document discusses using programming languages to model biological systems. It describes how traditional biology experiments focus on isolated parts of systems, while systems biology examines interactions between many components. Modeling biological systems requires abstracting away details like individual molecules. Previous approaches include differential equations and pathway databases, but process calculi may provide a better foundation by modeling each entity as a concurrent computational process. The document proposes a process calculus called PML for describing biological systems at multiple levels of abstraction in a biologically meaningful way.

The document proposes a technique to automatically identify sentence boundaries in noisy transcriptions of conversational data using noisily labelled examples. The technique identifies n-grams that frequently occur at sentence boundaries in training data and marks boundaries before or after those n-grams in test data. Evaluating on manual and automatic transcriptions shows the technique improves over using silence information alone, with F1 scores rising from 0.55 to 0.72. Identifying sentence boundaries allows better part-of-speech tagging and noun phrase extraction, improving downstream natural language processing tasks.

2. A new "hitchhiking" model is proposed where agents form connections by participating together in "gatherings", without directly paying to connect. This leads to more realistic properties but has many possible equilibrium networks.
3. The authors discuss several extensions to reduce the number of equilibria, such as introducing distances between agents, heterogeneous costs or profits, and concave profits. The goal is to develop a more coherent game-theoretic model that can better explain the formation of real social networks.

Quantitative Redistricting Workshop - Machine Learning for Fair Redistricting...The Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute
We propose a game where two players take turns assigning precincts to districts. In a simplified setting where districts have no geographic constraints, both players have a strategy that allows them to win a number of districts proportional to their number of voters. For the game in real maps (with geographic constraints) we are developing a player based on neural networks and reinforcement learning that aims to learn how to optimally play this game through self-play (inspired by AlphaZero). As in other simulations-based gerrymandering research, the difficulty in this approach is the size of the problem. In fact, we show that the problem of deciding whether
there exists a 'fair map' in the set of 'legal maps' (for appropriate simple definitions of 'legal' and 'fair') is actually NP-complete.Game theory
Game theory is a mathematical tool used to describe strategic interactions between decision-makers. It involves players, strategies, and payoffs. A Nash equilibrium exists when no player can benefit by unilaterally changing their strategy given other players' strategies. The document provides examples of how game theory applies to wireless networks, including a forwarder's dilemma game about forwarding packets, a multiple access game about transmitting, and a joint packet forwarding game.
Cascading Behavior in Networks
Cascading behaviors can occur in networks when people are connected and influence each other's decisions. This document discusses several models of cascading behaviors:
1) A diffusion of innovations model looks at how new ideas and technologies spread through social networks based on factors like group membership, growth, and change.
2) A game theoretic model of diffusion represents the spread of behaviors as a coordination game, where players receive higher payoffs for matching their neighbors' behaviors. This can lead to cascading shifts from one equilibrium behavior to another.
3) Viral marketing techniques aim to leverage social networks to spread brand awareness through self-replicating viral processes, similar to epidemic contagion models from game theory. The
Dynamics
The document discusses how no-regret learning dynamics can converge to a Nash equilibrium in socially concave games. It shows that if each player uses a no-regret algorithm, their average actions will converge to a Nash equilibrium over time. This holds for several classes of games including Cournot competition, resource allocation games, routing games, and others. The proof works by relating the utility of playing the average strategy to that of playing the best response to the average.
Game theory
This document provides an overview of game theory, including:
- Defining game theory as a way to study strategic decision-making involving multiple participants with conflicting goals.

- Common types of games are cooperative/non-cooperative, zero-sum/non-zero-sum, and simultaneous/sequential games.
- Popular examples used in game theory include the Prisoner's Dilemma and Chicken games, which demonstrate outcomes like Nash equilibrium.
- Game theory has applications in economics, politics, biology, and other fields for modeling interactions and predicting outcomes.
Using Spectral Clustering to find Successful Hero Combinations in DOTA 2
Using spectral clustering and hierarchical clustering techniques, the author analyzes match data from DOTA 2 to identify successful combinations of 5 playable heroes. DOTA 2 is a multiplayer online game where two teams of 5 heroes battle each other. Picking an effective team with complementary abilities contributes to success. The author samples over 2.7 million matches and constructs a weighted adjacency matrix to represent similarities between hero pairs based on their win rate playing together. Spectral clustering is applied to partition the graph into clusters of heroes expected to form strong teams. Hierarchical clustering is then used to identify specific combinations of 5 heroes within the clusters. The results are evaluated and the method is improved by exponentiating the adjacency matrix to emphasize larger weights. Overall, the document

Dias Da Cruz Steve - Seminar
This document discusses strategically equivalent contests in game theory. It introduces proportional contests, where players compete for a share of a prize based on their effort levels, and lottery contests, where players' efforts determine their probability of winning the entire prize. For risk-neutral players, proportional and lottery contests are strategically equivalent. The document derives differential equations whose solutions represent the Nash equilibrium effort levels for risk-averse players in proportional and lottery contests. It aims to determine the conditions under which both contest types are strategically equivalent for risk-averse players.

This document summarizes the key findings of a research paper on the frequency of convergent games under best-response dynamics. The paper shows that:
1) The frequency of randomly generated games with a unique pure strategy Nash equilibrium goes to zero as the number of players or strategies increases.
2) Convergent games with fewer pure strategy Nash equilibria are more common than those with more equilibria.
3) For 2-player games with less than 10 strategies, games with a unique equilibrium are most common, but games with multiple equilibria are more likely for more than 10 strategies.

The document discusses random variables and probability distributions. It defines random variables as variables that can take on a set of possible values with different probabilities. Random variables can be discrete, taking on countable values, or continuous, having an infinite range of possible values. The document outlines probability mass functions for discrete random variables and probability density functions for continuous random variables. It also introduces concepts of expected value and variance, and provides examples of calculating these for different probability distributions, including the binomial distribution.
Google Deepmind Mastering Go Research Paper
This document summarizes research on developing an AI system called AlphaGo that can defeat human professionals at the game of Go. Key points:
1. AlphaGo uses deep neural networks including a policy network to select moves and a value network to evaluate board positions, trained through both supervised learning from expert games and reinforcement learning from self-play games.
2. Without lookahead search, the neural networks can play Go at a strong amateur level. Combined with a new Monte Carlo tree search algorithm, AlphaGo defeats other Go programs and the European Go champion.
3. This is the first time a computer program has defeated a human professional in the full game of Go, a feat previously thought to be at least

Michael_Hulme_Banff_Social_Networking
Social networking sites allow people to share experiences and stories through new forms of online communication. This blurs distinctions between physical and virtual worlds as people increasingly live hybrid digital and offline lives. Such sites provide spaces for self-expression and community building around shared interests. They also incorporate elements of games through reward systems that keep users engaged. Going forward, social networking is likely to proliferate and blur boundaries further as broadcast and games converge, giving people more ways to both consume and actively participate in interactive narratives across physical and digital spaces.
socialpref
This document summarizes a study that measures social capital within a social network. It defines two types of social capital: 1) preference-based social capital, which is based on altruism toward friends and declines with social distance; and 2) cooperative social capital, which arises from repeated interactions and cooperation between agents. The study finds evidence of both types of social capital - preference-based social capital increases the weight on a friend's utility by 15% while cooperative social capital adds another 5%.

3_System_Requirements_and_Scaling
The VOCAL system can be run on a 700MHz Pentium III PC with 512MB RAM and 1GB disk space. It requires Linux, Apache, JDK, and browsers. It supports redundancy with multiple redirect, marshal, and feature servers and a maximum of two each of CDR and provisioning servers. The number of servers scales up based on system capacity and call volume.
ScalabilityAvailability
The document discusses several concepts related to building scalable and available systems, including:
- Scalability involves a system's ability to handle expected loads with acceptable performance and to grow easily when loads increase. This may involve scaling up using bigger/faster systems or scaling out across multiple systems.
- Availability is the goal of having a system operational 100% of the time, requiring redundancy so there are no single points of failure.
- Performance measures like response time and throughput relate to a system's scalability and capacity. Distributing load across redundant and partitioned components can help improve scalability and availability.

The project seeks to create an out-of-the-box bioinformatics server and collaborate through its mailing list to port more applications and databases.
freebsd-watitis
FreeBSD divides itself into the base operating system and ports. The base OS contains core components while ports contain additional software. There are two ways to upgrade each - through binary packages or by compiling from source. Ports can be installed individually and have no hierarchy, but allow differentiation from the base OS and fine-grained control. The document describes a case study where multiple FreeBSD servers were used together for development, testing, and production in a synchronized way through a build master and CVSup server.
BPotter-L1-05
The document discusses the differences between Windows, FreeBSD and Linux operating systems in terms of security.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

- 1. "Why We're So Nice: We're Wired to Cooperate" Natalie Angier New York Times, 23 July 2002 What feels as good as chocolate on the tongue or money in the bank but won't make you fat or risk a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission? Hard as it may be to believe in these days of infectious greed and sabers unsheathed, scientists have discovered that the small, brave act of cooperating with another person , of choosing trust over cynicism, generosity over selfishness, makes the brain light up with quiet joy . Studying neural activity in young women who were playing a classic laboratory game called the Prisoner's Dilemma , in which participants can select from a number of greedy or cooperative strategies as they pursue financial gain,researchers found that when the women chose mutualism over "me-ism," the mental circuitry normally associated with reward-seeking behavior swelled to life. And the longer the women engaged in a cooperative strategy, the more strongly flowed the blood to the pathways of pleasure. The researchers, performing their work at Emory University in Atlanta, used magnetic resonance imaging to take what might be called portraits of the brain on hugs. "The results were really surprising to us," said Dr. Gregory S. Berns, a psychiatrist and an author on the new report, which appears in the current issue of the journal Neuron. "We went in expecting the opposite." The researchers had thought that the biggest response would occur in cases where one person cooperated and the other defected, when the cooperator might feel that she was being treated unjustly.
