History Determinism vs. Good for Gameness in Quantitative Automata [PDF]

Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science, 2021
Automata models between determinism and nondeterminism/alternations can retain some of the algorithmic properties of deterministic automata while enjoying some of the expressiveness and succinctness of nondeterminism.

Free psychology? Why psychological research is incompatible with the requirements of clockwork determinism [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology
This essay argues that the concept of strict causal determinism (or “clockwork determinism”), while being a powerful doctrine to reduce uncertainty, is not compatible with the way psychology does science.

Variation in Recombination Rate and Its Genetic Determinism in Sheep Populations

Genetics, 2017
Recombination is a complex biological process that results from a cascade of multiple events during meiosis. Understanding the genetic determinism of recombination can help to understand if and how these events are interacting.

Genetic Determinism in the Genetics Curriculum

Science and Education, 2017
Twenty-first-century biology rejects genetic determinism, yet an exaggerated view of the power of genes in the making of bodies and minds remains a problem. What accounts for such tenacity?

Non-Determinism and the Lawlessness of Machine Learning Code [PDF]

Symposium on Computer Science and Law, 2022
Legal literature on machine learning (ML) tends to focus on harms, and thus tends to reason about individual model outcomes and summary error rates. This focus has masked important aspects of ML that are rooted in its reliance on randomness --- namely ...

A Survey on Parallelism and Determinism [PDF]

ACM Computing Surveys, 2022
Parallelism is often required for performance. In these situations an excess of non-determinism is harmful as it means the program can have several different behaviours or even different results.
