Chance is number 1.
Choice will always be number 2. But it's still our main preoccupation.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice! -Neil Peart, from Freewill lyrics
Geddy Lee puts the "!" in everything, and it's worth it.

PAL: Designing Conversational Agents as Scalable, Cooperative Patient Simulators for Palliative-Care Training
Effective communication in serious illness and palliative care is essential but often under-taught due to limited access to training resources like standardized patients. We present PAL (Palliative Assisted Learning-bot), a conversational system that simulates emotionally nuanced patient interactions and delivers structured feedback grounded in an existing empathy-based framework. PAL supports text and voice modalities and is designed to scaffold clinical skill-building through repeated, low-co…

Remarkably, the network's fundamental architecture shows no change: the isolation of established expertise and the symbiosis of anti and mainstream neutr…

Who Wins the Multi-Structural Game?
Combinatorial games played between two players, called Spoiler and Duplicator, have often been used to capture syntactic properties of formal logical languages. For instance, the widely used Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé (EF) game captures the syntactic measure of quantifier rank of first-order formulas. For every such game, there is an associated natural decision problem: "given an instance of the game, does Spoiler win the game on that instance?" For EF games, this problem was shown to be PSPACE-comp…
