Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems, 2021 This article is about deterministic models, what they are, why they are useful, and what their limitations are. First, the article emphasizes that determinism is a property of models, not of physical systems. Whether a model is deterministic or not depends on how one defines the inputs and behavior of the model. To define behavior, one has to define an

The No-Go Zone of Journalism Studies—Revisiting the Concept of Technological Determinism
Digital Journalism, 2023 This study aims to assess technological determinism in relation to interdisciplinarity in journalism studies. Based on a scoping review of articles published during the last decade in three influential scientific journals within the journalism studies ...

Determinism in Cyber-Physical Systems Specified by Interpreted Petri Nets
Sensors, 2020 In this paper, we study selected aspects of determinism in the control part of a cyber-physical system (CPS) that is specified by a Petri net-based model.

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

Relativistic spacetimes and definitions of determinism
European Journal for Philosophy of Science, 2019 I discuss candidates for definitions of determinism in the context of general relativistic spacetimes, and argue that a definition which does not make recourse to any particular region of spacetime should be preferred over alternatives; one such notion ...

An Empirical Study of the Non-Determinism of ChatGPT in Code Generation [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology, 2023 There has been a recent explosion of research on Large Language Models (LLMs) for software engineering tasks, in particular code generation. However, results from LLMs can be highly unstable; non-deterministically returning very different code for the ...

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.

Notes on Ernest Nagel’s Philosophy of History
História da Historiografia, 2022 In this article, I analyse common arguments raised against historical determinism. I refer to the treatment given to the topic by Ernest Nagel in “Determinism in History” (1959).

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.
