Record 3 2018-03-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Cognitive Psychology
CONT

In cognitive science, and particularly in the field of artificial intelligence, heuristic decision making is described as bottom-up logic; that is, rules used and decisions arrived at arise from incompletely understood experience of what works.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Psychologie cognitive
CONT

Les performances cognitives basées sur les règles correspondent à des prises de décision heuristiques. Elles reposent sur la mise en place de procédures d'action, contrôlées par des règles ou des procédures dérivées d'expériences antérieures. Elles correspondent à un raisonnement intuitif, de sens commun et par analogie.

Subject field(s)
  • Management Operations (General)

OBS

A heuristic rule is any rule that has been found to work well in practice in a given situation and which can therefore be used as a guide whenever one is faced with a similar situation. A heuristic model is a set of such rules usually expressed in mathematical terms.

Record 5 2006-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

In expert systems, this refers to the process whereby one or more branches of a decision tree are "cut off" or ignored. In effect, when an expert system consultation is underway, heuristic rules reduce the search space by determining that certain branches(or subsets of rules) can be ignored.

OBS

pruning, cut-off: terms standardized by ISO and CSA.

Key term(s)
  • cutoff
  • tree cut-off

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

Record 7 1998-11-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

A system that uses a collection of primitive concepts in mathematics and discovers concepts, such as prime numbers.

CONT

AM attempts to model learning by discovery. Starting from an initial set of elementary mathematical concepts and a set of heuristic rules, it tries to generate interesting new concepts. Central to its operation is an agenda which schedules tasks on the basis of an heuristic evaluation of their usefulness.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

Cette approche est clairement guidée par les données observées à l'issue d'expériences. On peut envisager une approche alternative, guidée plutôt par des modèles approximatifs. Le système AM de Lenat, qui recherche des lois qualitatives sur des termes spécifiques à la théorie des nombres, relève de cette approche alternative.

Record 8 1997-02-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

The identification of the relevant parts of the source to map to the appropriate parts of the target.

CONT

We have replaced bottom-up matching with an approach based on analogical mapping. Such an approach uses a set of heuristics to delimit what is to be "imported" from a base to a target domain at a given time. One such heuristic involves mapping previously formed abstractions, such as those embodying causal and planning rules.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

Apprentissage par analogie. L'objectif est de privilégier les caractéristiques qui ont le plus d'utilité et de chance d'être préservées ou transposables d'une analogie à l'autre. Les travaux de Gentner ont mis en évidence que les mises en correspondance de systèmes de relations sont nettement plus puissantes à cet égard.

English

Subject field(s)

DEF

Reasoning where plausible inferences are derived from the application of heuristics rather than formal rules of inference. The semantics of heuristic reasoning is difficult to state formally, since such inferences are of the nature "x appears most similar to y. "

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

The skill and knowledge possessed by some humans that result in performance far above the norm. Expertise often consists of massive amounts of information combined with rules-of-thumb, simplifications, rare facts, and wise procedures in such a way that one can analyze specific types of problems in an efficient manner.

DEF

The set of capabilities that underlies the high performance of human experts, including extensive domain knowledge, heuristic rules that simplify and improve approaches to problem-solving, metaknowledge and metacognition, and compiled forms of behavior that afford great economy in skilled performance.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Compétence d'expert.

OBS

Propre à une personne, appelée expert, qui possède des habiletés et de la connaissance analytique dépassant la norme habituelle sur un domaine particulier. Un expert est capable de résoudre mieux et plus rapidement que quiconque un problème relatif à son domaine d'expertise. Il est aussi capable de détecter un nouveau problème de son domaine.

Record 12 1992-10-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

The old set of guiding heuristics, may become less ideal, less effective. This in turn would be detected by some of the "meta"-heuristics, and they would cause the system to recover its equilibrium, to search for new representations and new heuristics to deal effectively once again with the objects and operations at the object level.

OBS

meta: a prefix indicating that a term is being used to refer to itself. Thus, a meta-rule is a rule about other rules.

OBS

heuristic rules :rules capturing the heuristics an expert uses to solve a problem.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

Découvrir de nouvelles heuristiques supposerait la présence de méta-heuristiques manipulant les heuristiques, qui nécessiterait des méta-méta-heuristiques, et ainsi de suite.

Record 13 1989-06-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Methods that use vision to locate a workpiece and the sites on it suitable for gripping have been reported by Birk, Kelley, and Wilson. The proposed three approaches, each of which utilizes two distinct phases called the instruction phase and the execution phase.... An approach called "heuristic acquisition" uses rules based on a priori knowledge of the workpiece and its hold sites. Here, the instruction phase consists of testing different heuristics for acquiring a part, such as "look for the hole that is large enough to insert a finger into" or "find a flat surface large enough to accommodate the cup on a SAVG". During execution, the image of the workpiece is examined to satisfy the heuristics for that part, and the robot proceeds. Since a heuristic does not guarantee that there is a solution, safety mechanisms such as contact sensors must be included to protect both the robot and the part from damage.

OBS

Contrast with appearance acquisition.
