Underlying this approach are two general ideas: the first is that both induction via instantial generalization and inference to the best explanation (abduction, the method of hypothesis, hypothetico-deductive method) stand in need of justification; the second idea is that at the heart of such a justification will be the defense of an account of logical probability.
While human reasoning as well as reasoning in practical AI systems often needs to resort to unsound methods (abduction, default reasoning, Bayesian inference, analogy, etc)., logical semantics nevertheless provides an essential perspective from which to classify and study the properties of such methods.
Johnson et al. were one of the first groups to evaluate the repeatability of their 3D scapular movements method in abduction using the Isotrak electromagnetic system [ 15].
Subsequently, through methods of abduction, new vocabularies of form and potentials in performance are generated primarily through computational exploration.
Scientific method begins with abduction or hypothesis: because of some perhaps surprising or puzzling phenomenon, a conjecture or hypothesis is made about what actually is going on.
In this paper, we present a provablycorrect linear-time transformation that allows algorithms and heuristic methods for cost-based abduction, such as Charniak and Shimony's best-first search method or Santos' integer linear programming approach, to be used for the MAP problem.
Abductions are the rebels' preferred method of reinforcing their ranks, and since June 2002, 12,000 children have been seized.
The primary aim of this study was to design and then test the intrarater reliability of a torque-controlled method of measuring passive abduction of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint.
Abduction was also identified as a method of trafficking.
