Heuristic Revision by Heuristic Space Exploration [PDF]
2009 International Conference on Knowledge and Systems Engineering, 2009 Heuristics are often used to solve complex problems. Indeed, such problem-specific knowledge, when pertinent, helps to efficiency find good solutions to complex problems. Unfortunately, acquiring and maintaining a heuristic set can be fastidious. In order to face this problem, a approach consists in revising the heuristic sets by means of experiments ...

ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2008 Heuristics are rules of thumb. Rarely described in surgical or other publications, they are an essential part of safe and expert performance. This study translates such implicit or procedural knowledge into explicit or declarative knowledge, with a view to improving both training and retraining of surgeons in the steps of dissection. Tools used include

, 2020 Can voters who know little about their representatives’ actions effectively hold them accountable? An influential perspective argues that voters can infer their representatives’ actions by using interest group ratings as heuristics. Across nine studies in four original samples, we show that information about interest group ratings can have surprisingly
