TL;DR: The algebraic degree, the weightwise nonlinearity, and the algebraic immunity of the newly constructed weightwise perfectly balanced functions are discussed at the end of this paper.
Abstract: In this paper, we first introduce a class of quartic Boolean functions. And then, the construction of weightwise perfectly balanced Boolean functions on \begin{document}$ 2^m $\end{document} variables are given by modifying the support of the quartic functions, where \begin{document}$ m $\end{document} is a positive integer. The algebraic degree, the weightwise nonlinearity, and the algebraic immunity of the newly constructed weightwise perfectly balanced functions are discussed at the end of this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors defend the starting point of Marx's theory of class, which is located in a definition of the working class in the Communist Manifesto, and refurbish this definition so as to withstand these objections.
Abstract: The aim is to defend the starting‐point of Marx's theory of class, which is located in a definition of the working class in the Communist Manifesto. It is a definition solely in terms of separation from productive resources and a need to sell one's labour power, and it is closely connected with Marx's thesis that the population in capitalism has a tendency to polarize. That thesis conflicts with the widely‐held belief in the growth of a large middle class, unaccounted for by Marx. Moreover, recent critics such as Elster, Roemer, and Cohen have argued that this definition fails even in its own terms. The definition is refurbished so as to withstand these objections. But is there any point in using it? Does it serve to pick out the exploited producers as Marx intended? It does, once due attention is given to the idea of the collective worker, which is central in the volume of Capital which Marx himself published. That idea makes plain that it is an irreducibly corporate entity which is productive and subjec...

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a novel CRC method called the class-specific mean vector-based weighted competitive and collaborative representation (CMWCCR), which mainly contains three discriminative constraints including the competitive, mean vector and weighted constraints that fully employ the discrimination information in different ways.

TL;DR: In this paper, the moduli spaces of stable complexes in the derived category of a Veronese double cone $Y$ have been studied and two components have been shown to be related by a wall-crossing.
Abstract: This note describes moduli spaces of complexes in the derived category of a Veronese double cone $Y$. Focusing on objects with the same class $\kappa_1$ as ideal sheaves of lines, we describe the moduli space of Gieseker stable sheaves and show that it has two components. Then, we study the moduli space of stable complexes in the Kuznetsov component of $Y$ of the same class, which also has two components. One parametrizes ideal sheaves of lines and it appears in both moduli spaces. The other components are not directly related by a wall-crossing: we show this by describing an intermediate moduli space of complexes as a space of stable pairs in the sense of Pandharipande and Thomas.

TL;DR: A class of agents, defined in terms of communities of agents with three properties, are defined: "typed-message agents", which allows one to characterize agenthood as a property relative to a system rather than an isolated candidate software module.
Abstract: The latter is important because not only is "intelligence" an overloaded term with defined meaning and not a design goal, but does not distinguish "agents" from from other kinds of AI software. However, "autonomous" suffers also from lack of definition and is even used by some to define "intelligence". The definition used by Franklin and Graesser is not as precise as claimed. It will always be a subjective evaluation as to whether a system "senses in the future". There is no objective, operational test. And thus, no clear method of distinguishing "agents" from other software by this definition.In the panel discussion, Franklin agreed that more work needed to be done to provide an operational definition. Further, the definition has little practical benefit. It does not suggest technical issues or help to design agents or their infrastructure. Another way to distinguish agents from other kinds of software is to look at the communications technology employed. One kind of agent of special note exchanges typed messages on a peer-to-peer basis. KQML-Iike agents are an example. Emphasizing the nature of the technology allows one to distinguish such agents from expert systems, object-oriented programming, and client-server systems with no reference to "sensing". Further, this method allows one to characterize agenthood as a property relative to a system rather than an isolated candidate software module. Finally, the approach points out some fundamental technical issues in combining such agents with the World-Wide Web. We do not conclude that only these are "agents" but that focus on communications technology is one useful approach to defining agenthood. In particular, we define a class of agents: "typed-message agents". They are defined in terms of communities of agents with three properties:
