Algorithms of Adaptation in Inductive Inference [PDF]
We investigate the idea that human concept inference utilizes local incremental search within a compositional mental theory space. To explore this, we study judgments in a challenging task, where participants actively gather evidence about a symbolic rule governing the behavior of a simulated environment.

THE INFERENCES OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF JURISPRUDENCE ON THE VERSE WHICH CAN BE TRANSLATED AS: (WE HAVE NOW SENT DOWN THIS REMINDER UPON YOU THAT YOU MAY ELUCIDATE TO PEOPLE THE TEACHING THAT HAS BEEN SENT DOWN FOR THEM, AND THAT THE PEOPLE MAY THEMSELVES REFLECT). [PDF]
This paper studies one of the verses that circulates frequently in the books of Principals of Jurisprudence as inference and fundament. It aims to uncover the fundamental principles that are inferred, to show the ways of inference and what responds to ...

Maximum Entropy in Drug Discovery
Drug discovery applies multidisciplinary approaches either experimentally, computationally or both ways to identify lead compounds to treat various diseases. While conventional approaches have yielded many US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved

Abductive Logic of Inquiry for Quantitative Research in the Digital Age
We propose an abductive logic of scientific inference for quantitative research. The advent of computational sociology has exposed the limitations of a deductive logic of inquiry for quantitative researchers due to a lack of traditional sociological ...

We show that Skilling's method of induction leads to a unique general theory of inductive inference, the method of Maximum relative Entropy (ME). The main tool for updating probabilities is the logarithmic relative entropy; other entropies such as those ...

Observational Equivalence of Conditional Belief Bases
In nonmonotonic reasoning, a conditional of the form ‘If A then usually B’ is typically accepted if a situation where both A and B hold is deemed to be more plausible, more probable, or less surprising, etc., than a situation where A holds, but B does ...

There are no universal rules for induction [PDF]
In a material theory of induction, inductive inferences are warranted by facts that prevail locally. This approach, it is urged, is preferable to formal theories of induction in which the good inductive inferences are delineated as those conforming to ...
