"Group decision making has not benefited as much from computer-based tools as individuals have. A recent article suggests how groups can benefit more.

" When learning from examples, computer programs start with a bins—a set of conventions and mechanisms that limit the space of plausible concept definitions to be considered. Several measures of inductive bias are discussed in a new study that also addresses their implications for future research.

"In logic programming, unification of terms is a fundamental operation in simpliI~ring proof trees. Term matching isa frequently occurring case, for which there are efficient parallel algorithms.
