Detecting inexplicable behaviour

This paper presents a novel approach to the detection of unusual or interesting events in videos involving certain types of intentional behaviour, such as pedestrian scenes. The approach is not based upon a statistical measure of typicality, but upon building an understanding of the way people navigate towards a goal. The activity of agents moving around within the scene is evaluated based upon whether the behaviour in question is consistent with a simple model of goal-directed behaviour and a model of those goals and obstacles known to be in the scene. The advantages of such an approach are multiple: it handles the presence of movable obstacles (for example, parked cars) with ease; trajectories which have never before been presented to the system can be classified as explicable; and the technique as a whole has a prima facie psychological plausibility. A system based upon these principles is demonstrated in two scenes: a car-park, and in a foyer scenario 1.

Can Program Explanations Save the Causal Efficacy of Beliefs?

Frank Jackson and Philip Pettit offered the "program\ud explanation account� (PEA) in order to vindicate the causal\ud relevance of mental states such as beliefs. According to\ud J&P, a property F of a cause-event c (potentially a mental\ud property) can be causally relevant for an effect-event e"s\ud having property G because "e had G because c had F� is\ud an informative, non-redundant program explanation. If\ud PEA succeeded, the causal relevance of beliefs would be\ud vindicated and mental property epiphenomenalism would\ud be avoided.1 However, it doesn"t succeed

The thinking heart

El texto analiza la compleja vinculación entre dos portentos de la filosofía: Martin Heidegger y Hannah Arendt. Ese nexo ha sido un ejemplo de la relación entre eros y logos. La relevancia de ambos autores ha crecido en las últimas décadas, sobre todo la de Heidegger con el despliegue espectacular del postmodernismo. En comparación con Heidegger, Arendt representa un tipo muy diferente de intelectual. Ella estudió los vínculos entre moral y política, el gran tema ajeno a Heidegger. En la elección temática, en el estilo literario y en sus convicciones éticas, Hannah siguió caminos propios.The text analyses the complex links between two prodigies of philosophy: Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt. This tie has been an example of the relationship between eros and logos. The significance of both authors has been growing in the last decades, especially that of Heidegger as a result of the spreading out of postmodernist tendencies. Arendt represents a type of intellectual very different in comparison with Heidegger. She studied the bonds between morals and politics, the great theme which was strange to Heidegger. In the election of issues, in the literary style and in her ethical convictions Hannah pursued own paths

Hannah Ingraham: Loyalist Refugee

Every war produces refugees. Some flee a few hundred metres out of the path of an advancing army, others cross oceans and continents in search of safety. From the Huron survivors of Iroquois attacks in the seventeenth century to African and Asian victims of war in the twenty-first, generation after generation of refugees have built new lives in Canada. During the American Revolution (1775-1783) many Americans, known as Loyalists, supported the British government. When the war ended in an American victory, about 40,000 Loyalists became refugees and made their way to Canada. One of these refugees was Hannah Ingraham
