Probabilistic inductive inference: a survey
Theoretical Computer Science, 2001 Inductive inference is a recursion-theoretic theory of learning, first developed by E. M. Gold (1967). This paper surveys developments in probabilistic inductive inference. We mainly focus on finite inference of recursive functions, since this simple paradigm has produced the most interesting (and most complex) results.

Naturalizing Logic: How Knowledge of Mechanisms Enhances Inductive Inference
Philosophies, 2021 This paper naturalizes inductive inference by showing how scientific knowledge of real mechanisms provides large benefits to it. I show how knowledge about mechanisms contributes to generalization, inference to the best explanation, causal inference, and

Prominence, Property, and Inductive Inference
Cognitive Development, 2022 The legal principle of accession suggests that people sometimes extend ownership of a prominent item to related objects, resources, and benefits. For example, people might assume that whoever owns a large land mass is also likely to possess surrounding islands.

Normal Forms of Conditional Belief Bases Respecting Inductive Inference
Proceedings of the International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference, 2022 Normal forms of syntactic entities play an important role in many different areas in computer science. In this paper, we address the question of how to obtain normal forms and minimal normal forms of conditional belief bases in order to, e.g., ease ...

Induction and Natural Kinds Revisited [PDF]
, 2021 In ‘Induction and Natural Kinds’, I proposed a solution to the problem of induction according to which our use of inductive inference is reliable because it is grounded in the natural kind structure of the world. When we infer that unobserved members of

The Consumer Contextual Decision-Making Model
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Consumers can have difficulty expressing their buying intentions on an explicit level. The most common explanation for this intention-action gap is that consumers have many cognitive biases that interfere with rational decision-making.

Lubelski Rocznik Pedagogiczny, 2021 Introduction: At the beginning of the cognitive procedure, the choice of the research perspective is crucial. Whereas, in numerous pedagogy-field publications, authors almost automatically move from the problem to the methods and techniques of its ...

New Developments in Chinese Studies of Contemporary Inductive Logic
Asian Studies, 2022 Contemporary Chinese studies in inductive logic have long revolved around the unfolding of a philosophical investigation into Hume’s problem. Led by research in probabilistic logic, the principal content of contemporary Chinese logic consists of ...

Brain Imaging, Forward Inference, and Theories of Reasoning
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 This review focuses on the issue of how neuroimaging studies address theoretical accounts of reasoning, through the lens of the method of forward inference (Henson, 2005, 2006).
