This is the transcript of a lecture given at UMass-Lowell in which I compare and contrast the work of Godel and of Turing and my own work on incompleteness. I also discuss randomness in physics vs randomness in pure mathematics.
These notes overlap with lectures given at the TASI summer schools in 2014 and 2011, as well as at the European School of High Energy Physics in 2013. This is primarily an attempt at transcribing my hand-written notes, with emphasis on…
We present an overview of the complex systems field using ChatGPT as a representation of the community's understanding. ChatGPT has learned language patterns and styles from a large dataset of internet texts, allowing it to provide answers…
The ability to interact with machines using natural human language is becoming not just commonplace, but expected. The next step is not just text interfaces, but speech interfaces and not just with computers, but with all machines including…
This volume consists of papers presented at the Sixteenth Conference on Theoretical Aspects of Rationality and Knowledge (TARK) held at the University of Liverpool, UK, from July 24 to 26, 2017. TARK conferences bring together researchers…
Talk presented at the XXVI International Conference on High Energy Physics, Dallas, Texas, August, 12, 1992.
Our interest is in the design of software systems involving a human-expert interacting -- using natural language -- with a large language model (LLM) on data analysis tasks. For complex problems, it is possible that LLMs can harness human…
Mobile phone use is an unfolding process by nature. In this study, it is explicated as two sequential processes: mobile sessions composed of an uninterrupted set of behaviors and mobile trajectories composed of mobile sessions and…

I reply to a Comment by Q. Wang and W.G. Unruh regarding my paper "Hiding the Cosmological Constant" [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 131302].
A talk presented at the April 2016 APS meeting in Salt Lake City: The speaker had the great good fortune to take an undergraduate course in group theory from Sidney Coleman, and (after graduate school away) was hired by Coleman to a…
These are informal notes written in 2007 that outline the local and global quantum Langlands program. (I decided to make them public in view of the revived interest in the subject.)
Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly popular topic among industry and academia. With the fast development of neural network-based models, a lot of neural-based conversational AI system are developed. We…
This proceeding contribution is a short summary of the invited talk about observational supernova science at Stockholm University that has been conducted at the Nordic Optical Telescope over the past 25 years, and some expectations for the…
The present volume is the written version of the series of lectures the author delivered at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium during the period of June-July, 1990. The main purpose of these talks is to present some of author's work…
We comment on Z. D. Zhang's Response [arXiv:0812.2330] to our recent Comment [arXiv:0811.3876] addressing the conjectured solution of the three-dimensional Ising model reported in [arXiv:0705.1045].
At HotOS XIX (2023), we organized a panel to discuss the future of reproducibility and replication in systems research. In this document, we highlight the key points and themes that were discussed in the panel and summarize the various…
This volume contains the papers accepted at the 7th Systems Software Verification Conference (SSV 2012), held in Sydney, November 28-30, 2012. The aim of SSV workshops and conference series is to bring together researchers and developers…
