Modeling agents with a theory of mind: Theory–theory versus simulation theory [PDF]

open access: possibleWeb Intelligence and Agent Systems: An International Journal, 2012
Virtual training systems with intelligent agents provide an effective means to train people for complex, dynamic tasks like crisis management or firefighting. For successful training, intelligent virtual agents should be able to show believable behavior, adapt their behavior to the trainee's performance and give useful explanations about their behavior.

Theory, Ideal Theory and the Theory of Ideals

Political Studies Review, 2012
The recent prominence of the ideal/non-ideal debate is largely due to the fact that it offers a vocabulary in which to diagnose what many see as a key problem of political theory: its relative unwillingness to provide solutions to urgent problems facing people here and now; or for people as they are rather than as they should be.

Theory, theory on the wall

Communications of the ACM, 2002
Could it be that computing itself is just too unwieldy a field for any theory of substance?

More theory, in theory

Food Policy, 1982
Abstract An important aspect of the milk and dairy industry in the European Community is the reaction of milk producers to milk prices. In theory farmers behave like the economic man of basic economic textbooks. In practice, farmers behave quite differently, ie they increase their production when prices fall.

The theory of relativity, the electromagnetic theory and the quantum theory

Il Nuovo Cimento, 1958
It is shown how it is possible, by means of geometry and the introduction of a principle of measurement, founded by analogy with the theory of H. Weyl, to discover a unity existing between gravitational, electromagnetic and quantum phenomena. Dirac’s equation and an extension of it are derived from the principle of measurement, and an essential feature

Theories, theories everywhere

Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Theory-Oriented Software Engineering, 2016
A general theory of software engineering has that there are two logical parts: design and evaluation, D and E, each of which as a theory T. The interesting question is "what is the relationship between these two theories in D and E". I first delineate a rich variety of theories related to D and E and consider these to be sub-theories critical to ...

Theories, theory and Theory

1980
The notion of “theory” probably has a more uncertain meaning in the social sciences and sociology in particular than in other disciplines. As far back as the early 1950s, in a passage in Social Theory and Social Structure, R. K. Merton2 pointed out that the word theory was being used by sociologists in seven different ways, only one of which was ...

The Analyst’s “Use” of Theory or Theories: The Play of Theory

Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, 2017
Two clinical vignettes demonstrate a methodological approach that guides the analyst’s attention to metaphors and surfaces that are the focus of different theories. Clinically, the use of different theories expands the metaphorical language with which the analyst tries to make contact with the patient’s unconscious life. Metaphorical expressions may be

Theories and Ordinals in Proof Theory

Synthese, 2006
The author gives a very good survey on the aims and techniques of ordinal analysis. It includes not only the classical topics of subsystems of second-order arithmetic and of set theory, but also newer developments in relation to model-theoretic characterizations (partial models and patterns of resemblance; Sec.~4), characterizations via \(E\)-recursion
