There is an important and interesting open question in computational complexity on the relation between the complexity classes $\mathcal{NP}$ and $\mathcal{PSPACE}$. It is a widespread belief that $\mathcal{NP}\ne\mathcal{PSPACE}$. In this…

Given the broad capabilities of large language models, it should be possible to work towards a general-purpose, text-based assistant that is aligned with human values, meaning that it is helpful, honest, and harmless. As an initial foray in…

Although much work in NLP has focused on measuring and mitigating stereotypical bias in semantic spaces, research addressing bias in computational argumentation is still in its infancy. In this paper, we address this research gap and…

Multi-priced timed automata (MPTA) are timed automata with observer variables whose derivatives can change from one location to another. Observers are write-only variables, that is, they do not affect the control flow of the automaton; thus…
