Hypothetical Abductive Reasoning in Dermatology and Dermatopathology [PDF]
Abductive reasoning, or abduction, is a key process in scientific discovery and medical diagnosis. In everyday dermatology and dermatopathology, however, it functions as the practical engine behind differential diagnosis, clinicopathologic correlation ...

Association between prenatal exposure to alkylphenols and intelligence quotient among preschool children: sex-specific effects [PDF]
Background While prenatal exposure to alkylphenols (APs) has been demonstrated to be associated with neurodevelopmental impairments in animals, the evidence from epidemiological studies remains limited and inconclusive.

Modalities, conditionals and nonmonotonic reasoning [PDF]
This dissertation conducts an investigation into nonmonotonic reasoning---forms of reasoning which allow defeasible inferences arrived at in the absence of complete information, and which, when additional information is acquired, may need to be revoked. In contrast to the mathematical notion of consequence which is based on proof---mathematical proofs,

Belief Change in Nonmonotonic Multi-Context Systems [PDF]
Brewka and Eiter's nonmonotonic multi-context system is an elegant knowledge representation framework to model heterogeneous and nonmonotonic multiple contexts. Belief change is a central problem in knowledge representation and reasoning.

A General Framework for Ampliative Inference Patterns
Non trivial reasoning from contradictory premises is being acknowledged as one of the most important features in intelligent systems. Expert systems, planners and schedulers, and diagnosers, are almost always faced to potentially fallacious information ...

Nonmonotonic Reasoning and Causation [PDF]
It is suggested that taking into account considerations that traditionally fall within the scope of computer science in general, and artificial intelligence in particular, sheds new light on the subject of causation. It is argued that adopting causal notions con be viewed as filling a computational need: They allow reasoning with incomplete information,

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 ...

StreamRule: A nonmonotonic stream reasoning system for the semantic web
S.247-252Stream reasoning is an emerging research field focused on dynamic processing and continuous reasoning over huge volumes of streaming data. Finding the right trade-off between scalability and expressivity is a key challenge in this area.

Qualitative Mechanical Problem-Solving by Artificial Agents:
Qualitative mechanical problem-solving (QMPS) is central to human-level intelligence. Human agents use their capacity for such problem-solving to succeed in tasks as routine as opening the tap to drink or hanging a picture on the wall, as well as for ...
