Brendan Juba - Miscellaneous

Back to the main page. This page contains presentations based on research projects I have worked on and links to additional resources. The past schedules for the complexity reading group (formerly, theory or crypto-complexity reading group) are still available. The bottom of the page contains a list of suggested papers for topics circa 2007 that may still be useful as a starting point. Presentations: Information-theoretic Models of Natural Language Compression Without a Common Prior pptx - 5371k Universal Communication Simple Goals and On-line Learning pptx - 1011k Efficiency via Compatible Beliefs pptx - 868k Goal-Oriented Communication pptx - 2955k Part I PowerPoint - 366k Simple Stochastic Games (Stable Circuit Problem) and PLS-completeness Preliminary PowerPoint - 133k Final Presentation PowerPoint (short) - 420k PowerPoint (full length) - 488k web version (with commentary) Conceptualizing Strategizing Control Systems (CONSCS) Preliminary PowerPoint - 439k End of summer update PowerPoint - 243k Links: The first presentation on CONSCS was originally given immediately following a presentation by Matt Humphrey, and presumes the audience is familiar with its contents. The second presentation on CONSCS was given immediately following another presentation by Matt Humphrey. This presentation gives a more extensive review of where the project went, and provides an introduction to the framework discussed in my presentation. For additional information on CONSCS, visit Manuel's page. Of particular interest are the talk given at the 20th IEEE Conference on Computational Complexity, the NSF proposal outlining the project and "What is consciousness?", some preliminary remarks on the project.
