Record 1 2025-04-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Training of Personnel
  • Education Theory and Methods
CONT

All knowledge elements deal with explicit, implicit and tacit knowledge.... implicit knowledge is difficult to reveal, but it is still possible to capture. Usually the knowledge bearer cannot recall this knowledge by himself, because the information is too obvious to him.... This kind of knowledge can only be detected by observing or asking in more detail.

  • Psychologie cognitive
  • Perfectionnement et formation du personnel
  • Théories et méthodes pédagogiques
CONT

La connaissance implicite est une connaissance potentiellement explicitable.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

AI based on techniques and models that use an implicit encoding of information, that can be derived from experience or raw data.

CONT

Whereas symbolic AI produces declarative outputs, subsymbolic AI is based on statistical approaches and produces outputs with a given probability of error.

OBS

subsymbolic AI: designation and definition standardized by ISO in collaboration with the International Electrotechnical Commission.

Key term(s)
  • sub-symbolic artificial intelligence
  • sub-symbolic AI

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

IA basée sur des techniques et des modèles qui utilisent un encodage implicite des informations, qui peuvent être dérivées de l'expérience ou de données brutes.

CONT

Tandis que l'IA symbolique produit des résultats déclaratifs, l'IA sous-symbolique se fonde sur des approches statistiques et produit des résultats avec une probabilité d'erreur donnée.

OBS

IA sous-symbolique : désignation et définition normalisées par l'ISO en collaboration avec la Commission électrotechnique internationale.

Subject field(s)
  • Taxation
  • Agricultural Economics
CONT

There are two broad types of agricultural taxation in developing countries, namely explicit and implicit taxes. Explicit taxes involve charges on land, taxes on inputs such as water, fertilizer, etc., and taxes on output. Income taxes, which belong to the category of explicit taxes, are almost impossible to implement in the context of a country with undeveloped bureaucracy and information system and are rarely used. Implicit taxes involve taxes and/or subsidies of the non-agricultural sector, which change the terms of trade for agriculture.

OBS

agricultural taxation: term extracted from the “Glossaire de l’agriculture” and reproduced with permission of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fiscalité
  • Économie agricole
OBS

La fiscalité agricole est un domaine très précis, très concret et très spécialisé. Pour en traiter, il faut connaître les entreprises agricoles qui, elles-mêmes, sont très diversifiées, et avoir une pratique de leur gestion et de leur comptabilité [...] Certes, rien n'est indéfiniment gravé dans le marbre en ces matières, et la fiscalité agricole, comme tout, doit évoluer, en l'occurrence pour tenir compte des réalités des marchés et de la situation économique du moment.

OBS

L'influence de la fiscalité sur la compétitivité de l'agriculture justifie une vigilance accrue sur les mesures mises en œuvre [...]

Brown et al.(1982) reflect on the use of quantitative simulation for making inferences and see it as a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the simulation provides a lot of leverage to the inference process, because large amounts of knowledge are encoded in the model and brought to bear via the simulation. On the other hand, this embedded knowledge is often based on implicit assumptions and empirical decisions on the part of the model' s designers, which may be very subtle. For instance, the formulas used to run the simulation may only be valid for certain classes of inputs. If these assumptions are not made "explicit and checkable", they can easily be violated when the simulation involves faults. For teaching purposes, the main drawback of quantitative simulation is its inability to give a full account of the causality underlying its inferences. Causality is pedagogically important because it is the main ingredient of the kinds of explanations human students can understand. In a troubleshooting context, causality, more than information content, drives the diagnostic reasoning and the decision to perform measurements.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
OBS

A theory proposed by Schank in 1972 to explain how information is stored in a conceptual form in memory. The theory assumes that a) there should be only one representation for two or more different sentences with the same meaning, and b) the representation must make explicit any information in the sentence that is implicit.
