Co-Creative Learning via Metropolis-Hastings Interaction between Humans and AI
We propose co-creative learning as a novel paradigm where humans and AI, i.e., biological and artificial agents, mutually integrate their partial perceptual information and knowledge to construct shared external representations, a process we interpret as symbol emergence. Unlike traditional AI teaching based on unilateral knowledge transfer, this addresses the challenge of integrating information from inherently different modalities. We empirically test this framework using a human-AI interacti…

twitter: Twitter followers (2010)
A directed network of following relationships from Twitter, from a snowball sample crawl across "quality" users in 2009. A directed edge (i, j) indicates that user i follows user j.
This network has 465017 nodes and 834797 edges.

I watched the Disney, two season, series on the risk of Industrial Light and Magic (ILM).
It was interesting.
And last night I watched a Studio Ghibli film.
I am active in live theatre - living actors on a stage before a live audience.
It struck me that movie making a la ILM tends to glorify the scenery without necessarily adding to the impact of the story.
I can understand how filmmakers want to immerse the audience in a different reality. But I don't thin…

Extending the Affirmative Action Problem: mixing numbers and integrated colorings of graphs
Consider a graph whose vertices are colored in one of two colors, say black or white. A white vertex is called integrated if it has at least as many black neighbors as white neighbors, and similarly for a black vertex. The coloring as a whole is integrated if every vertex is integrated. A classic exercise in graph theory, known as the Affirmative Action Problem, is to prove that every finite simple graph admits an integrated coloring. The solution can be neatly summarized with the one-liner: "m…

Toxicity in State Sponsored Information Operations
State-sponsored information operations (IOs) increasingly influence global discourse on social media platforms, yet their emotional and rhetorical strategies remain inadequately characterized in scientific literature. This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of toxic language deployment within such campaigns, examining 56 million posts from over 42 thousand accounts linked to 18 distinct geopolitical entities on X/Twitter. Using Google's Perspective API, we systematically detect and…

Advantages of Co-locating Quantum-HPC Platforms: A Survey for Near-Future Industrial Applications
We conducted a systematic survey of emerging quantum-HPC platforms, which integrate quantum computers and High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems through co-location. Currently, it remains unclear whether such platforms provide tangible benefits for near-future industrial applications. To address this, we examined the impact of co-location on latency reduction, bandwidth enhancement, and advanced job scheduling. Additionally, we assessed how HPC-level capabilities could enhance hybrid algorith…
