Local Search and the Evolution of World Models

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

The World According to De Finetti [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Bruno de Finetti is one of the founding fathers of the subjectivist school of probability, where probabilities are interpreted as rational degrees of belief. His work on the relation between the theorems of probability and rationality is among the corner

Model‐Based Systems Engineering in Space Applications: A Comprehensive Literature Review

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing complexity of space engineering is driving the demand to embrace the adoption of Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Although the MBSE is well‐practiced in the space industry, the level of effort and need required to obtain the benefits of MBSE vastly differ across enterprises; this disparity presents a significant challenge to

Analogies and differences between the logic behind statistical hypothesis testing and proofs by contradiction: What can we learn from them?

open access: yesTeaching Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Statistical hypothesis testing (SHT) is widely employed across numerous scientific disciplines, and a clear understanding of its underlying logic is essential for the broader scientific community. Here, drawing upon both epistemological and statistical perspectives, we aim to clarify—primarily for educational purposes—the logical relationship ...

A critical analysis of the role of statistical significance testing in education research: With special attention to mathematics education [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This study analyzes the role of statistical significance testing (SST) in education. Although the basic logic underlying SST 一 a hypothesis is rejected because the observed data would be very unlikely if the hypothesis is true 一 appears so obvious that ...

Bayesian Inductive Logic Programming [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) involves the construction of first-order definite clause theories from examples and background knowledge. Unlike both traditional Machine Learning and Computational Learning Theory, ILP is based on lockstep development ...

Contextual Ethical Leadership as a Lever for Integrating and Engaging Expatriates

open access: yesThunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In a globalized world marked by ethical controversies across sectors, understanding how leaders navigate complex contexts has become crucial to ensuring responsible and legitimate governance. These controversies highlight the need for ethical leadership that is responsive to cultural and contextual complexities. This study aims to identify the

Inductive logic vs mathematical statistics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The early concepts of the inductive logic have origin by ancient and medieval thinkers, but the true development we observe just in the second half of XIX century when the probability theory was applied there. In the XX century a real explosion of papers

“For three of my four miscarriages I was at work…” Experiences of miscarriage, infertility and assisted fertility in veterinary workplaces

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Miscarriage, infertility and assisted fertility (MIAF) can profoundly impact physical and mental health. The aims of this study were to investigate how veterinary professionals’ work environments and employers impacted their experiences of MIAF and to identify how workplace experiences of MIAF could be improved.

Reinforcement Learning With Timed Constraints for Robotics Motion Planning

open access: yesArtificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.
This work presents a unified automata‐based reinforcement learning framework that enforces MITL time‐bounded task specifications in both MDPs and POMDPs. Results from grid‐world and office scenarios show robust policy learning under stochastic dynamics and partial observability.
