Axioms, 2022 Two important basic inference models of fuzzy reasoning are Fuzzy Modus Ponens (FMP) and Fuzzy Modus Tollens (FMT). In order to solve FMP and FMT problems, the full implication triple I algorithm, the reverse triple I algorithm and the Subsethood ...

In Defense of Realism and Selectivism from Lyons’s Objections [PDF]
, 2019 Lyons (2016, 2017, 2018) formulates Laudan’s (1981) historical objection to scientific realism as a modus tollens. I present a better formulation of Laudan’s objection, and then argue that Lyons’s formulation is supererogatory.

Logical Reasoning for Forecasting in Mesopotamia
Studies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric, 2021 In this paper, I show that a kind of perfect logical competence is observed in the Babylonian tablets used for forecasting. In these documents, we see an intuition of some algebraic structures that are used for inferring prognoses as logical conclusions.

, 2017 Wagenmakers et al. addressed the illogic use of p-values in 'Psychological Science under Scrutiny'. While historical criticisms mostly deal with the illogical nature of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), Wagenmakers et al.

Formal inferences and their relationships to knowledge acquisition: mental models and semantic links
Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2020 The mental model theory is an approach with clear psychological, linguistic, and cognitive consequences. This paper delves into some of the epistemological conclusions that can be drawn from it.

Unsound and Informally Fallacious Preterist Arguments for Mark 13:24‐27
The Heythrop Journal, Volume 64, Issue 6, Page 796-811, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Abstract: The following article evaluates two common arguments for preterist interpretations of Mark 13:24‐27, collectively dubbed the ‘time‐text’ argument. These two arguments support symbolic and/or historicised interpretations. Our thesis is that the first argument is unsound and the second commits the informal fallacy of false dilemma ...

Theoria, Volume 89, Issue 5, Page 607-624, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Powerful transformer models based on neural networks such as GPT‐4 have enabled huge progress in natural language processing. This paper identifies three challenges for computer programs dealing with metaphors. First, the phenomenon of Twice‐Apt‐Metaphors shows that metaphorical interpretations do not have to be triggered by syntactical ...

Template Tracking using Generalized Modus Tollens [PDF]
The 14th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2005. FUZZ '05., 2005 This article describes an original method to track 2D templates in a video sequence. This approach is based on robust modelling of the interaction between pattern movement and grey level variations in the image using fuzzy bimodal rules. Movement estimation is performed by inverting these rules and polling the results in a quasi-continuous histogram ...

Supposition, Conditionals and Unstated Premises
Informal Logic, 1992 Informal logicians recognise the frequent use of unstated assumptions; some (e.g. Fisher) also recognise entertained arguments and recommend a suppositional approach (such as Mackie's) to conditional statements.

Robustness of Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Reasoning Quintuple Implication Method
IEEE Access, 2022 The interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy quintuple implication algorithm, as an extension of the fuzzy reasoning algorithm, may better characterize and deal with uncertainty in the reasoning, but how to select distance measure and analyze the algorithm ...
