Ideal reasoners don’t believe in zombies
Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2017 The negative zombie argument states that p&~q is ideally negatively conceivable and, therefore, possible, what would entail that physicalism is false (Chalmers, 2002, 2010}.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the role of managerial ability in driving environmental performance and overall environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings in the context of the European Union sustainability reporting regulations. Using a sample of 7242 firm‐year observations over the period 2015–2023, our results indicate a structural change in ...

Nonmonotonic Skeptical Consequence Relation in Constrained Default Logic
Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai: Series Informatica, 2010 This paper presents a study of the nonmonotonic consequence relation which models the skeptical reasoning formalised by constrained default logic. The nonmonotonic skeptical consequence relation is defined using the sequent calculus axiomatic system.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the determinants of firms' propensity to adopt green buildings in the Euro Stoxx 300 and the S&P 500 indices, during 2012–2023. Using random forest binary classifiers, we assess the relative importance of financial, sectoral, geographic, and climate governance predictors and uncover nonlinear relationships often overlooked ...

Stochastic Gradient Descent in High Dimensions for Multi‐Spiked Tensor PCA
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the high‐dimensional dynamics of online stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for the multi‐spiked tensor model. This multi‐index model arises from the tensor principal component analysis (PCA) problem with multiple spikes, where the goal is to estimate the unknown signal vectors within the N$N$‐dimensional unit sphere through maximum ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Three sets of strength data were selected, including hydrostatic pressure independent within the brittle region (HPI‐B), hydrostatic pressure dependent within the brittle region (HPD‐B), and hydrostatic pressure dependent within the brittle–ductile region (HPD‐BD). For HPI type, the failure envelope within the deviatoric plane remains constant.

Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 1997 Nonmonotonic reasoning provides formal methods that enable intelligent systems to operate adequately when faced with incomplete or changing information. In particular, it provides rigorous mechanisms for taking back conclusions that, in the presence of new information, turn out to be wrong and for deriving new, alternative conclusions instead ...

Classical methods in nonmonotonic reasoning [PDF]
, 1994 In this paper we present and compare some classical problem solving methods for computing the stable models of a general propositional logic program. In particular linear programming, propositional satisfiability, constraint satisfaction, and graph algorithms are considered. Central to our approach is the representation of a logic program by means of a

Strong Inconsistency in Nonmonotonic Reasoning [PDF]
Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2017 Minimal inconsistent subsets of knowledge bases play an important role in classical logics, most notably for repair and inconsistency measurement. It turns out that for nonmonotonic reasoning a stronger notion is needed. In this paper we develop such a notion, called strong inconsistency.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract As tunnel construction advances in lengths and depths, the construction of tunnels in high geothermal environments has become increasingly common, raising significant fire risks. In this study, a 1:20 scale model tunnel test platform was constructed to investigate the effects of a high geothermal environment on fire behavior in tunnels during ...
