English

  • Artificial Intelligence

CONT

The exploration of the search space(i. e. the proof model) is managed by a theorem prover... Starting from the data representing the problem hypotheses, the prover produces... all the facts that can be deduced from the theory.

CONT

The counterexample found above was found by a heuristic filter to the theorem prover called the conjecture disprover.

Record 2 1992-11-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

The analytic approach involves a two-step process. First, one uses the domain theory to construct an explanation("explanation" is really used to mean "proof" of correctness of a specific solution to a problem given the axioms of the domain theory) that proves that the training example is a positive instance of the goal concept.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Une des généralisations possibles de la trace d'une preuve formelle.

CONT

L'apprentissage analytique par explication. L'apprentissage s'effectue en deux étapes : (i) on élabore une explication justifiant en quoi l'exemple est une instance du concept faisant l'objet de l'apprentissage, en exploitant les connaissances du domaine disponibles.

Record 3 1992-10-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

Default if-then rules (axioms) and action operators which represent what is typically true in a real-world domain.

CONT

The analytic approach... involves a two-step process. First, one uses the domain theory to construct an explanation.... The second step involves... finding the most general version of the existing proof consistent with the domain theory.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

L'apprentissage est ici analytique, puisqu'il repose largement sur une théorie du domaine.

Record 4 1988-11-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

Strict, logical, or analytical implication (as between two statements so that one can be deduced from the other on purely logical grounds).

CONT

Situation semantics claims that efficiency undermines the standard notions of logical form, entailment, and proof theory, and objects to the view that mental processes necessarily involve internal representations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Relation logique consistant en ce qu'une chose en implique une autre. En logique mathématique : implication d'une proposition B par une proposition A, proposition qui n'est fausse que si A est vraie et B est fausse.
