TrueSkill Through Time (TTT)
Reliable initial skill estimates and historical comparability
The TTT model is the current state-of-the-art skill estimator in the video game industry: it provides reliable initial skill estimates and guarantees historical comparability. Published more than a decade ago, it was not available in the programming languages with the largest scientific communities. In this paper we offer the first pack- age for Julia , Python and R , an efficient algorithm that allows millions of observations to be analyzed using any low-end CPU.
Evolutionary - Probabilistic isomorphism
The irreversible emergence of cooperation and specialization
The current complexity of life is the consequence of a series of evolu- tionary transitions in which entities capable of self-replication after the transition become part of higher level cooperative units (eukary- otic cells, multicellular organisms, social systems). In this paper we show that the advantage in favor of cooperation and specialization is so common in the history of life because of the multiplicative nature of evolutionary and probabilistic selection processes.
