INSTANTIATION [53 records]

Record 1 2026-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

A diagnostic modeling scheme based on a procedural network contains all the necessary subskills for the global skill, as well as all the possible buggy variants(or bugs) of each subskill. It can replace an individual subskill in the procedural network by one of its bugs, and thus attempt to reproduce a student's incorrect behavior. If such a faulted network does obtain the same answers as the student on a sufficient set of problems, the bugs that have replaced their correct siblings in the network are then posited as being those possessed by the student. Such an instantiation of the subprocedure calls, which actually models the student in a deterministic fashion, is considered a deep-structure model : it explains the student's incorrect behavior in terms of a set of exact internalized errors, rather than of, say, a probabilistic estimate of correct and incorrect answers such as is typical of stochastic models.

  • Computer Programs and Programming

CONT

It is a common device in rule-based programming to impose control on a program by weakening a rule by instantiation or by giving it a stronger hypothesis.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Programmes et programmation (Informatique)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

[...] la plupart des systèmes experts sur micro-ordinateurs sont basés sur les connaissances (knowledge based systems) qui mettent en œuvre une programmation par règle (base de connaissances + moteur d'inférence) plutôt que par algorithmes.

CONT

Le principe de base de la programmation en règles de production est que chaque règle est un morceau indépendant de connaissances, c'est-à-dire qu'elle contient toutes les conditions de son application.
