Social constructs and how not to ground them by Baysan, E

“…While there are intelligible grounding claims that can explain certain ideas in social ontology, such grounding claims add nothing to what we have learnt from constructionists about race and gender. Although some applications of this grounding approach attempt to remedy this and offer detailed analyses of how social kinds are grounded, they yield results that are inconsistent with some very plausible views about social construction. …”

Robust Markov decision processes: a place where AI and formal methods meet by Suilen, M, Badings, T, Bovy, EM, Parker, D, Jansen, N

“…Robust MDPs (RMDPs) overcome this assumption by instead defining the transition probabilities to belong to some uncertainty set. We present a gentle survey on RMDPs, providing a tutorial covering their fundamentals. …”

四面楚歌下的同志再现：李碧华和陈凯歌对《霸王别姬》的改写 = Representations of the besieged “Comrade” : Li Bihua's and Chen Kaige's adaptations of the Peking Opera “Farewell My Concubine”... by 許维贤 Hee, Wai Siam

“…This essay delves into the similarities and differences between Li’s original novel (in three different versions) and the adapted film, and points out, meanwhile, how the two texts have both sharply under-historicized and over-historicized their subject matter by appropriating the “the same-sex love” for their narrative purpose that ends up glossing over the predicaments actual same-sex lovers face in their daily existence.…”
