Psychology and AI at a Crossroads: How Might Complex Systems Explain Themselves
A challenge in building useful artificial intelligence (AI) systems is that people need to understand how they work in order to achieve appropriate trust and reliance. This has become a topic of considerable interest, manifested as a surge of research on Explainable AI (XAI). Much of the research assumes a model in which the AI automatically generates an explanation and presents it to the user, whose understanding of the explanation leads to bett…
Architecture and Anarchism: Building without Authority
Visionary architecture is a longstanding part of utopianism, a tangible expression of the utopian imagination. Anarchism is also an essential element in the pantheon of utopian thought and action, since by its nature utopianism, in imagining a better way to be and do, inherently criticizes and undermines the dominant social order. In his latest book Paul Dobraszczyk explores examples of what he calls building without authority, building in a new …
Depth-Bounded Statistical PCFG Induction as a Model of Human Grammar Acquisition
This article describes a simple PCFG induction model with a fixed category domain that predicts a large majority of attested constituent boundaries, and predicts labels consistent with nearly half of attested constituent labels on a standard evaluation data set of child-directed speech. The article then explores the idea that the difference between simple grammars exhibited by child learners and fully recursive grammars exhibited by adult learner…
A Foundational Bibliography for American Intentional Communities
Lyman Tower Sargent has been the preeminent scholar of utopianism in our time and has undertaken a diverse network of approaches to the study of what he has called “social dreaming.” He has written monographs, articles, and essays and has been a relentless compiler of information on utopianism heretofore largely overlooked by his peers. One of the main directions of his work has been bibliographical, as he has compiled guides to the vast corpus o…
West of Center: Art and the Counterculture Experiment in America, 1965–1977
Work on the counterculture of the 1960s era usually doesn't do a lot with the art that accompanied and enriched the cultural upheaval of the time. The counterculture was spectacularly visual, what with the flamboyant clothing and exultation of the body that were everywhere, and yes, there were some notable artists such as the whimsical Peter Max, but the great creativity that was so much the engine and product of the counterculture has rarely rec…

Religion, Food, and Eating in North America
Food studies as an academic discipline has expanded tremendously in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Study of the intersection of food and religion is not new, but as a field of inquiry it is ripe for new work. This new compendium edited by Zeller, Dallam, Neilson, and Rubel does double duty in that regard: It provides several important chapter-length contributions to existing scholarship, and it points to the way to new possi…

Fiscal Externalities of Becoming a Parent
Theoretical and empirical results suggest that there are externalities to childbearing, but those results usually assume that these externalities accrue uniformly within a homogeneous population. We advance this argument by developing separate estimates of the fiscal externalities associated with parents-those who devote time or material resources to minor children-and nonparents. Our analysis uses data from the US Panel Study of income Dynamics …
The Evolution of American Spiritual Communities, 1965–2009
The great outpouring of new religious and spiritual movements in the United States after 1965 led to the formation of thousands of spiritual intentional communities. Those communities were based in all the world's major religions, as well as in new expressions of religion articulated by a rising generation of independent spiritual teachers. Many communities gathered around charismatic leaders, and quite a few of them continued after the leader di…
Who Wins and Who Loses? Public Transfer Accounts for US Generations Born 1850 to 2090
Public transfer programs in industrial countries are thought to benefit the elderly through pension and health care programs at the expense of the young and future generations. This intergenerational picture changes, however, if public education is also considered as a transfer program. We calculate the net present value at birth of benefits received minus taxes paid for US generations born 1850 to 2090. Surprisingly, all generations 1950 to 2050…

New perspectives on old patterns: Forced migration of Haitians in the Dominican Republic

Lee and Carter (LC) published a new statistical method for forecasting mortality in 1992.

Uncivil Religion: Interreligious Hostility in America
Our rhetoric of pluralistic sweetness and light notwithstanding, one doesn't have to dig very far to find interreligious conflict in the United States, the homeland of freedom of religion. Bellah and Greenspahn have picked four major categories of such conflict and have presented us with two or three mostly thoughtful essays on aspects of each. The four categories of hostility covered are JewishChristian tensions, Protestant-Catholic tensions, li…
