Finite Automata, is a fundamental concept in computer science and automata theory. We get the term "automaton" from the word "automatic". In this chapter, we will explain the concept of finite automata as an overview, and its representation through a 5-tuple, and illustrate these ideas with...
This approach misses a crucial point in applying machine metaphors to biological phenomena: their reciprocity. Analogical modeling of machines and biological entities is not a one-way street where our understanding of biology must obey a mechanical conception of machines. While our understanding of ...
recently devised reductive analyses of the mental, for all of them are logically compatible with its absence. It is not analyzable in terms of any explanatory system of functional states, or intentional states, since these could be ascribed to robots or automata that behaved like...
literature. I assess whether the existing concept of “responsibility gap” can fulfil this role and propose revisions where they fall short. My final suggestion is that the issues typically labelled “responsibility gaps” are better captured by ERGs and CMs, rather than by the old metaphysical ...

It’s surprising how little is known about the foundations of machine learning. Yes, from an engineering point of view, an immense amount has been figured out about how to build neural nets that do all kinds of impressive andsometimes almost magical things. But at a funda...
There is never a system state in which a message can be found inside the message channel, in the midpoint of a rendez-vous handshake. This property, that follows immediately from the semantics of the rendez-vous, also explains that any attempt to poll the contents of a rendez-vous channel...
The homepage is a vanilla flavoured list which curates mostly technology and mathematics related content. One can find here quotes, comments, articles, videos and opinions.

The field of “BERTology” aims to locate linguistic representations in large language models (LLMs). These have commonly been interpreted as rep
