• Title: Deconstructing written rules and hierarchy in peer produced software communities
• Authors: Mahasweta Chakraborti, Beril Bulat, Qiankun Zhong, Anamika Sen, Seth Frey
• Abstract summary: We employ recent advances in computational institutional analysis and NLP to investigate the systems of authority that are reflected in the written policy documents of the ASF. Our study to decipher the effective similarities or departures of the ASF model from conventional software companies reveals evidence of both flat and bureaucratic governance in a peer production set up.

• Abstract: We employ recent advances in computational institutional analysis and NLP to investigate the systems of authority that are reflected in the written policy documents of the ASF. Our study to decipher the effective similarities or departures of the ASF model from conventional software companies reveals evidence of both flat and bureaucratic governance in a peer production set up, suggesting a complicated relationship between business-based theories of administrative hierarchy and foundational principles of the OSS movement.

  Large language models (LLMs) have achieved impressive human-like performance across various reasoning tasks. However, their mastery of underlying inferential rules still falls short of human capabilities. We propose a logic scaffolding inferential rule generation framework, to construct an inferential rule base, ULogic.

  This paper probes the collaboration mechanisms among contemporary NLP systems by practical experiments with theoretical insights. We fabricate four unique societies' comprised of LLM agents, where each agent is characterized by a specific trait' (easy-going or overconfident) and engages in collaboration with a distinct thinking pattern' (debate or reflection) Our results further illustrate that LLM agents manifest human-like social behaviors, such as conformity and consensus reaching, mirroring social psychology theories.

  In human-robot interaction policy design, a rule-based method is efficient, explainable, expressive and intuitive. We present the Signal-Rule-Slot framework, which refines prior work on rule-based symbol system design. We introduce a new, Bayesian notion of interaction rule utility called Causal Pathway Self-information.

We provide a bridge between the two communities by defining a logic-pluralistic normative reasoning language based on the TPTP format.
