Contributors: P. Murukannaiah*, G. Yuan & *
TL;DR:
This work considers the problem of estimating geo-tags for tweets and develops a comprehensive approach, Percimo, that incorporates textual content, the user's personalized behavior, and the users' social relationships and yields a smaller prediction error than the two state-of-the-art approaches it compares with.

TL;DR:
The main results are that, even with a small cache, agents can locate services more easily and benefit from being neighbours with others who have similar interests, and since the agents that cache services can act like service providers, a small number of initial service providers are enough to serve the information needs of the consumers.

A logic of intentions and beliefs
Journal of Philosophical Logic, 22(5), 513–544.
Contributors: * & N. Asher *
TL;DR:
A formal theory of intentions and beliefs based on Discourse Representation Theory that captures many of their important logical properties and has an objective semantics, and does not rely on anad hoc labeling of the internal states of agents.

A semantics for speech acts
Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, 8(1-2), 47–71.
TL;DR:
A formal semantics for speech acts is presented here that relates their satisfaction to the intentions, know-how, and actions of the participating agents, which makes it possible to state several potentially useful constraints on communication and provides a basis for checking their consistency.
