This chapter addresses several central meta-theoretical issues of AI and AGI. After ana-lyzing the nature of the field, three criteria for desired theories are proposed: correctness, concreteness, and compactness. The criteria are clarified in the AI context, and using them, the current situation in the field is evaluated.

“The DNA profile from the crime scene shares the same alleles as the DNA from the accused.” That is a statement of fact or an expert opinion, but whatever it is it is not lay opinion. “I ride bicycles a lot. When the brake pads start to wear down, it’s riskier to ride in the rain.” Now, what is that? Expert or lay opinion? And why do we care? Because to proffer expert opinion ...

We report a joint study using surface-specific sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, respectively, on a pristine hydrophobic (sub)monolayer hexane-water interface, namely, the hexane/water interface with varied vapor pressures of hexane and different pHs in water. We show clear evidence that hexane on water revises the interfacial water structure ...

Often students don’t do reading assignments because they can achieve their goals without doing them. The course goal for the average undergraduate is “getting through,” and students are adept at identifying exactly what’s necessary to get through (with their target grade).

Since neither Plato’s nor the general sense of “sophist” encourages an account of sophistic method and practice, it is questionable whether there is an alternative approach. The follow-ing discussion offers a sort of middle course by suggesting alterations to Plato’s sense of “sophist” that in turn yield a subset of sophists in the general sense. What is ultimately important here ...

In all five group mobility models, random motion of each individual MN within a given group occurs. In Section 4, we illustrate that a mobility model has a large effect on the performance evaluation of an ad hoc network protocol. In other words, we show how the performance results of an ad hoc network pro-tocol significantly change when the mobility model in the simulation is changed. The ...

A. January 12, 2010 When I began this comment, Haiti, a country only slightly larger than the state of Maryland and the poorest country in the western hemisphere,1 was hardly more than a blip on the world’s radar. But on January 12, 2010, the world was forced to take notice of Haiti as it suffered the worst natural disaster it had ever faced in its 200-year history: a catastrophic 7.0 ...

Abstract. Outlier detection has recently become an important prob-lem in many industrial and ̄nancial applications. In this paper, a novel unsupervised algorithm for outlier detection with a solid statistical foun-dation is proposed. First we modify a nonparametric density estimate with a variable kernel to yield a robust local density estimation. Out-liers are then detected by comparing the ...

Criticism 4: Single-process accounts may be offered for dual-process phenomena The main argument is that a unified theory of decision making can be made on the basis of rule processing and that attempts to separate rule-based processing from other kinds. They agree that all behavior attributed to Type 1 and 2 processes by dual-process theorists can be described using rules and modeled by ...
