In this paper, we introduce a Monte-Carlo tree search (MCTS) approach for the game "Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft". We argue that, in light of the challenges posed by the game (such as uncertainty and hidden information), Monte Carlo tree search offers an appealing alternative to existing AI players. Additionally, by enriching MCTS with a properly constructed heuristic, it is possible to introduce significant gains in performance.We illustrate through extensive empirical validation the superior performance of our approach against vanilla MCTS and the current state-of-the art AI for Hearthstone. ; This study is part of the RAGE project.

Straipsnio tikslas – Carlo Schmitto politinės teologijos statuso analizė. Siekiama įrodyti, kad Schmitto pristatyta koncepcija negali būti suprasta kaip teisės sąvokų sociologija, kaip ją kai kuriuose darbuose apibūdino pats autorius. Ji taip pat negali būti aiškinama kaip teologijos dalis, kaip tai daro daugelis dabartinių interpretuotojų. Schmittas "politinės teologijos" vardu pavadino politikos teorijai priskirtiną projektą, pagrįstą teologinių prielaidų įvedimu į filosofiją. Tai primena XIX a. katalikų reakcionierių Josepho de Maistre'o, Louiso de Bonaldo ir Juano Donoso Corteso politinę filosofiją.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: politinė teologija, teisės sąvokų sociologija, politiškumas, katalikų politinė filosofijaCarl Schmitt's Political Theology: The Status ProblemLinas Jokubaitis AbstractThe aim of the article is the analysis of the status of Carl Schmitt's political theology. It is argued that this conception can not be understood as a sociology of juristic concepts as it was described by its author. Today many interpretators attempt to explain political theology as a part of theology. This interpretation is deficient in some of its parts. Schmitt was developing a political theory which he called "political theology". This project has to be understood as an attempt to use theological argumentations and insights in the discourse of political philosophy. Schmitt's attempt to create a synthesis of theology and philosophy for the study of politics is similar to the aims of reactionary XIX century Catholic political philosophy of Joseph de Maistre, Louis de Bonald and Juan Donoso Cortes.Keywords: political theology, sociology of juristic concepts, Catholic political philosophy.;

The article builds on the analysis of the reports of the Venetian ambassadors to the Senate concerning Carlo V and his Empire, focusing on the evolution of the image of the imperator in the reports of diplomats returning to their homeland according to the various conjunctions of the day and the evolution of the direction of Venetian politics, bearing in mind also the filter of ideology and training of individual ambassadors. The gradual decline of political humanism, initially dominant among the councillors of the Emperor, appears, while the direction of Venetian politics has evolved slowly in the anti-Spanish and anti-papal sense. ; This article, through an analysis of Venetian ambassadors reports to the Senate concerning Charles V and his Empire, focus on the evolution of the emperor's image in these diplomatic reports according to the various historical conjunctures and to the evolution of the Venetian political strategy, considering also the influence exerted by the ideological background of every ambassador. It emerges the progressive decline of politic humanism initially prevailing among the emperor's counsellors just as the Venetian politics slowly evolves in an anti-Spanish and anti-papal direction. ; The article builds on the analysis of the reports of the Venetian ambassadors to the Senate concerning Carlo V and his Empire, focusing on the evolution of the image of the imperator in the reports of diplomats returning to their homeland according to the various conjunctions of the day and the evolution of the direction of Venetian politics, bearing in mind also the filter of ideology and training of individual ambassadors.

Land Use and Transportation Integrated (LUTI) models have become a norm for representing the interactions between land use and the transportation of goods and people in a territory. These models are mainly used to evaluate alternative planning scenarios, simulating their impact on land cover and travel demand.LUTI models and other mathematical models used in various fields are most of the time based on complex computer codes. These codes often involve poorly-known inputs whose uncertainty can have significant effects on the model outputs.Global sensitivity analysis methods are useful tools to study the influence of the model inputs on its outputs. Among the large number of available approaches, the variance based method introduced by Sobol' allows to calculate sensitivity indices called Sobol' indices. These indices quantify the influence of each model input on the outputs and can detect existing interactions between inputs.In this framework, we favor a particular method based on replicated designs of experiments called replication method. This method appears to be the most suitable for our application and is advantageous as it requires a relatively small number of model evaluations to estimate first-order or second-order Sobol' indices.This thesis focuses on extensions of the replication method to face constraints arising in our application on the LUTI model Tranus, such as the presence of dependency among the model inputs, as far as multivariate outputs.Aside from that, we propose a recursive approach to sequentially estimate Sobol' indices. The recursive approach is based on the iterative construction of stratified designs, latin hypercubes and orthogonal arrays, and on the definition of a new stopping criterion. With this approach, more accurate Sobol' estimates are obtained while recycling previous sets of model evaluations. We also propose to combine such an approach with quasi-Monte Carlo sampling.An application of our contributions on the LUTI model Tranus is presented. ; Le développement et l'utilisation de modèles intégrés transport-urbanisme sont devenus une norme pour représenter les interactions entre l'usage des sols et le transport de biens et d'individus sur un territoire. Ces modèles sont souvent utilisés comme outils d'aide à la décision pour des politiques de planification urbaine.Les modèles transport-urbanisme, et plus généralement les modèles mathématiques, sont pour la majorité conçus à partir de codes numériques complexes. Ces codes impliquent très souvent des paramètres dont l'incertitude est peu connue et peut potentiellement avoir un impact important sur les variables de sortie du modèle.Les méthodes d'analyse de sensibilité globales sont des outils performants permettant d'étudier l'influence des paramètres d'un modèle sur ses sorties. En particulier, les méthodes basées sur le calcul des indices de sensibilité de Sobol' fournissent la possibilité de quantifier l'influence de chaque paramètre mais également d'identifier l'existence d'interactions entre ces paramètres.Dans cette thèse, nous privilégions la méthode dite à base de plans d'expériences répliqués encore appelée méthode répliquée. Cette méthode a l'avantage de ne requérir qu'un nombre relativement faible d'évaluations du modèle pour calculer les indices de Sobol' d'ordre un et deux.Cette thèse se focalise sur des extensions de la méthode répliquée pour faire face à des contraintes issues de notre application sur le modèle transport-urbanisme Tranus, comme la présence de corrélation entre paramètres et la prise en compte de sorties multivariées.Nos travaux proposent également une approche récursive pour l'estimation séquentielle des indices de Sobol'. L'approche récursive repose à la fois sur la construction itérative d'hypercubes latins et de tableaux orthogonaux stratifiés et sur la définition d'un nouveau critère d'arrêt. Cette approche offre une meilleure précision sur l'estimation des indices tout en permettant de recycler des premiers jeux d'évaluations du modèle. Nous proposons aussi de combiner une telle approche avec un échantillonnage quasi-Monte Carlo.Nous présentons également une application de nos contributions pour le calage du modèle de transport-urbanisme Tranus.
The correspondence between Carlo Ignazio Giulio (1803-1859) and Quintino Sella (1827-1884), one of the most important protagonists of the Risorgimento, holds great importance for the historyof the University of Turin, by shedding new light on their role in the scientific organization and their political involvement in the establishment of technical-scientific schools in Turin, the R. Istituto Tecnico (1852) and the R. Scuola di Applicazione per gli Ingegneri (1859). Interesting details emerge about the scientific collections of the institutions, such as the realization ofgeometric and crystal models and the purchase of engineering instruments. It also reveals the international relationships the two protagonists had with well-known scientists and instruments makers, mostly thanks to their travels and participation in international exhibitions.
Diversity has been an unavoidable reality. People live with other people of different religions, tribes, or races. The falling of old ideological and political structures in the world has played a great role in making this happen. To replace the old ideological and political structures, populism tends to be widely accepted by people who want to erect great wall in order to avoid immigrants. In Indonesia, populism manifests in the ideas and attitudes that alienate others based on religions and ethnic groups. The author introduces the views of Carlo Maria Martini, who, as a Catholic bishop, has promoted the idea of creating a society that supports diversity to be a new world order. Martini based his ideas on a biblical analysis, mainly on the Old Testament books such as Genesis, Exodus, and Deuteronomy. In order to find inspiration of Martini's views for the context of Indonesia, the author relates them to Anthony Giddens and Raimon Panikkar, and finds how Martini's ideas can be practised not only by inclusivists and pluralists, but also by exclusivists.
Ferroelectrics find broad applications, e.g. in non-volatile memories, but the switching kinetics in real, disordered, materials is still incompletely understood. Here, we develop an electrostatic model to study ferroelectric switching using 3D Monte Carlo simulations. We apply this model to the prototypical small molecular ferroelectric trialkylbenzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) and find good agreement between the Monte Carlo simulations, experiments, and molecular dynamics studies. Since the model lacks any explicit steric effects, we conclude that these are of minor importance. While the material is shown to have a frustrated antiferroelectric ground state, it behaves as a normal ferroelectric under practical conditions due to the large energy barrier for switching that prevents the material from reaching its ground state after poling. We find that field-driven polarization reversal and spontaneous depolarization have orders of magnitude different switching kinetics. For the former, which determines the coercive field and is relevant for data writing, nucleation occurs at the electrodes, whereas for the latter, which governs data retention, nucleation occurs at disorder-induced defects. As a result, by reducing the disorder in the system, the polarization retention time can be increased dramatically while the coercive field remains unchanged. ; Funding Agencies|Swedish Government Strategic Research Area in Materials Science on Functional Materials at Linkoping University [2009 00971]; Vetenskapsradet; SeRC (Swedish e-Science Research Center)
Proceeding of: 7th International Conference on Intelligent Networking and Collaborative Systems (INCoS 2015), 2-4 September 2015, Taipei, Taiwan ; Medical literature have recognized physical activity as a key factor for a healthy life due to its remarkable benefits. However, there is a great variety of physical activities and not all of them have the same effects on health nor require the same effort. As a result, and due to the ubiquity of commodity devices able to track users' motion, there is an increasing interest on performing activity recognition in order to detect the type of activity carried out by the subjects and being able to credit them for their effort, which has been detected as a key requirement to promote physical activity. This paper proposes a novel approach for performing activity recognition using Monte Carlo Schemata Search (MCSS) for feature selection and random forests for classification. To validate this approach we have carried out an evaluation over PAMAP2, a public dataset on physical activity available in UCI Machine Learning repository, enabling replication and assessment. The experiments are conducted using leave-one-subject-out cross validation and attain classification accuracies of over 93% by using roughly one third of the total set of features. Results are promising, as they outperform those obtained in other works on the same dataset and significantly reduce the set of features used, which could translate in a decrease of the number of sensors required to perform activity recognition and, as a result, a reduction of costs. ; This work was partially funded by European Union's CIP Programme (ICT-PSP-2012) under grant agreement no. 325146 (SEACW project).
La tesi si propone il fine di chiarificare gli eventi che interessarono Pisa e il suo territorio in concomitanza con la seconda discesa dell'imperatore Carlo IV nei mesi a cavallo tra 1368 e 1369. Si esplora anche il contesto storico precedente all'argomento, dalla prima discesa dell'imperatore stesso (tra 1354-1355), fino all'esperienza dogale di Giovanni dell'Agnello (1364-1368). Di quest'ultimo è stato studiato inoltre il persistere di un certo influsso nella situazione pisana durante gli avvenimenti trattati. Al fianco della parte meramente evenemenziale sono presenti riflessioni sulla situazione politica, sociale, istituzionale ed economica. Le figure dei Capitani e dei Luogotenenti imperiali in città, vale a dire Gualtieri di Hochschlitz e Marquardo di Randeck, di cui si esplorano financo le relazioni giuridiche con il Comune, hanno avuto ampio spazio nel lavoro. Infine anche l'esperienza della Compagnia di San Michele, una società popolare che riuscì per breve tempo ad acquisire il potere durante il periodo trattato, è stata trattata in maniera approfondita.
