University of Southern California, Microsoft, University of Pennsylvania 연구팀이 'Experiential Reinforcement Learning' 논문을 발표했다. 이 연구는 강화학습(RL)에 경험적 접근 방식을 적용하여 에이전트가 시행착오 외에 경험 기반 데이터로부터 학습 효율을 향상시키는 새로운 방법론을 제시한다. 향후 AI 자율학습 구조 개선에 중요한 기여가 될 수 있다.

I have just declined two #review requests from #academic #journals of the Taylor & Francis group. Here is what I wrote:
"[...] The current subscription price for the Journal of Medieval History is at 1.768,63 Euro. [...] For a middling-sized public university and university library, these costs are almost impossible to bear. They are just one more example of how academic publishers have turned money-making machines. I am not co-operating with such a venture. [...]

My social media profiles mention that I'm a recovering academic. What do I mean by that, and why do I think it's important?

It was a pleasant surprise to discover that the new #Academic Anthology "Rethinking the Qur’ān in Late Antiquity" has a few chapters on Ancient #Arabian #Polytheism

Rethinking the Qur’ān in Late Antiquity

How the Qur’ān reflects on and responds to the regional cultural, religious and political currents swirling in Western Arabia and neighboring areas during the great war, 603-630, between the Roman and Sasanian empires? The book approaches the Qur’ān through six case studies. The first two consider the era 200-800 CE, which classicist Peter Brown dubbed late antiquity. The second two contextualize quranic stories and tropes in the era of Herakleios and Khosrow II. The final pair consider issues in how the Qur’ān was constituted, both physically and stylistically, and also sets these processes in their late antique context. The book treats the constitution of the quranic text, first physically and then rhetorically. The use in the Qur’ān of the technique of narrative apostrophe is for the first time subjected to a concerted analysis. These themes are all united by a concern to understand better issues in why the Qur’ān makes certain narrative choices, how the narrative changes over time, and how it articulates with other texts and perspectives.

I'm experimenting with different ways of hosting zines online - any recommendations? Here's one of my first 'research' zines, What Would Kim Petras Do?

[older papers, but good guidance; we had all this in our university training, (hopefully) to good effect, but some reminders for us all, myself included!]
“Many young researchers find it extremely difficult to write scientific articles, and few receive specific training in the art of presenting their research work in written format. Yet, publication is often vital for career advancement, to obtain funding, to obtain academic qualifications, or for all these reasons. [They] describe here the basic steps to follow in writing a scientific article..."

Here's another @zotero plugin for you! Search & Replace in Library metadata. I always missed a convenient way to remove Worldcat URLs from printed books. Ugly and unnecessary. Now you can. It's a pre-release, so back up your library because it may wreak havoc. https://github.com/milekpl/zotero-search-replace #Zotero #referenceManager #academic

#Academic #Researchers examined promises made by #Bitwarden, #LastPass, and #Dashlane, finding all three could expose passwords if attackers had compromised servers. Very interesting research ^_^
