Decision-theoretic case-based reasoning
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics - Part A: Systems and Humans, 1996We describe a decision-theoretic methodology for case-based reasoning in diagnosis and troubleshooting applications. The system utilizes a special-structure Bayesian network to represent diagnostic cases, with nodes representing issues, causes, and symptoms.

PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF THEORETICAL REASONING
2004AbstractThis article distinguishes between two uses of the term “logic”: as referring either to the theory of implication or to the theory of reasoning, which are quite distinct. Reasoning is a process that can modify intentions and beliefs. To a first approximation, theoretical reasoning is concerned with what to believe and practical reasoning is ...

Practical reasons, theoretical reasons, and permissive and prohibitive balancing
Synthese, 2022Philosophers have often noted a contrast between practical and theoretical reasons when it comes to cases involving equally balanced reasons. When there are strong practical reasons for A-ing, and equally strong practical reasons for some incompatible option, B-ing, the agent is permitted to make an arbitrary choice between them, having sufficient ...

A situation-theoretic account of nonmonotonic reasoning
Journal of Experimental & Theoretical Artificial Intelligence, 1998Situation theory in the sense of Barwise and Perry (1983) and nonmonotonic reasoning have been relatively disparate research programs in AI, the former focusing on computational approaches to natural language processing while the latter has been extensively used as a basic architecture for rational agents. The aim of the present paper is to suggest one

A Set-Theoretic Approach to ABox Reasoning Services
2017In this paper we consider the most common ABox reasoning services for the description logic \(\mathcal {DL}\langle \mathsf {4LQS}^{\mathsf{R},\!\times }\rangle (\mathbf {D})\) (\(\mathcal {DL}_{\mathbf {D}}^{4,\!\times }\), for short) and prove their decidability via a reduction to the satisfiability problem for the set-theoretic fragment \(\mathsf ...

1989
The primary object of Part I is to expound Keynes’s philosophy and to support the contention that it contains a distinctive theory of rationality. The next six chapters are therefore occupied with elucidating his philosophical framework and its main properties. Two other themes are also developed.

A Theoretical Case for Reasonableness
2004Radical American environmental groups like EARTH FIRST!, Greenpeace, and the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) have claimed responsibility for a list of arsons, defacements, and property damages aimed at the producers, researchers, and proponents of food biotechnology.20 Since 2000, fervent green activists have executed passive, but illegal, street theatre ...

Covariational Reasoning – Theoretical Background
2021Covariational reasoning surfaced in the first chapters of the book, however, it needs more elaboration as it will dominate the case studies included in Part III. This chapter presents a current perspective on covariational reasoning and its fit to the proposed modeling discourse.

Theoretical and Practical Reasoning in Chemistry
Foundations of Chemistry, 2002Traditional philosophy of science regards theoretical reasoning, based on the example of Euclidian geometry, as the hallmark of a mature science. There is, however, a parallel tradition of practical reasoning based on specific cases that goes back to Aristotle.

From Theoretical to Practical Reason
2009The ‘Transcendental Doctrine of Method’, the concluding section of the first Critique, begins with theoretical considerations, and thus with experience, and therefore initially unfolds a negative ontology. But this rejection of intellectual self-deception, of conceptual delusions, fabrications and empty fictions, is immediately followed by a plea on ...
