The Last Days of the Pylos Polity

A conference paper published in Aegaeum, vol. 12, entitled "Politeia: Society and State in the Aegean Bronze Age." This volume comprises the proceedings of the 5th International Aegean Conference, held at the University of Heidelberg from April 10-13, 1994. In his contribution, Palaima deconstructs the old state-of-emergency theory around Pylos tablet Tn 316, and constructs an alternative reading of the evidence.Classic

A New Approach to Probabilistic Programming Inference

We introduce and demonstrate a new approach to inference in expressive probabilistic programming languages based on particle Markov chain Monte Carlo. Our approach is simple to implement and easy to parallelize. It applies to Turing-complete probabilistic programming languages and supports accurate inference in models that make use of complex control flow, including stochastic recursion. It also includes primitives from Bayesian nonparametric statistics. Our experiments show that this approach can be more efficient than previously introduced single-site Metropolis-Hastings methods.Comment: Updated version of the 2014 AISTATS paper (to reflect changes in new language syntax). 10 pages, 3 figures.

Building Multimedia Proceedings: The Roles of Video in Interactive Electronic Conference Proceedings

Modern computer systems have changed the way that conference proceedings can be presented and archived. No longer are researchers limited by printed text; electronic proceedings allow one to search the proceedings, add and share annotations, and create paths of related concepts through the proceedings. These additional capabilities extend the opportunities and benefit the thought processes of actual conference participants and the new virtual participants who experience the conference through the electronic proceedings. In this paper, we discuss the construction of electronic conference proceedings, highlighting the role of talks and other presentations (and, particularly, the audio and video of these talks and presentations) in electronic proceedings. In particular, we discuss the benefits of incorporating video and audio in proceedings; describe the interface that guides the interaction between the text of a paper, the audio of the conference speaker, the video of the speaker, and the slides the speaker uses; detail experiences using limited video in proceedings; highlight the significance of the interface and careful editing by experts in the field, and recommend strategies and mechanisms for designers of proceedings and other multimedia documents which incorporate and link large amounts of text and video

Designing Computing System Architecture and Models for the HL-LHC era

This paper describes a programme to study the computing model in CMS after the next long shutdown near the end of the decade.Comment: Submitted to proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP2015), Okinawa, Japa

Neutrino Physics in 2020

Many talks at the 16th Lomonosov Conference, dedicated to Bruno Pontecorvo, detail the remarkable progress in neutrino physics over the last two decades. In this paper, I give an opinionated, and therefore likely inaccurate, review of the future, with some opinions on how both the physics situation and future facilities will develop, focusing on the year 2020.Comment: Submitted to the Proceedings of the 16th Lomonosov Conference, Moscow Russia, August 201
