Does the book discuss the Markov logic network (MLN) formulation for structured representations of belief states? In your opinion, how promising is the MLN approach? Thank you!

The Byzantine empire had its ups and downs like any empire. It lasted longer than Roman Empire (per conventional definition of the term). It is a shame that the Western education system downplays the significance and influence of the Byzant

being "smart enough" in chess translates to being "smart enough" in purely mechanical aspects of mathematics. imho, you are underestimating the creative aspect of mathematics.
