Reconstruction: HUD [United States Department of Housing and Urban Development] guidelines regarding reconstruction are as follows: The regulation defines reconstruction as the rebuilding of housing on the same foundation. Therefore, the foundation must be used, if possible. If the building has no foundation or if it is not possible to rebuild on the foundation, then the "foundation" will be the same location as the building that is being reconstructed. Construction of housing on a different portion of the land parcel would be new construction. The reconstructed housing must be substantially similar to the structure that is being replaced, regardless of whether an existing foundation is used (i.e. a single family house must be replaced with a structure containing the same number of units). Rooms may be added to a building outside of the foundation or footprint of the original housing if needed to meet local codes. However, additional units cannot be constructed as part of a reconstruction project. A structure must be present prior to reconstruction.

CONT

Buildings insurance: Insurance against the cost of rebuilding a property from scratch following structural damage, for example by fire, storm or flood.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

In epistemic diagnosis, a method of credit/blame assignment which requires the inference of unobservable behavior and which can form the basis for epistemic inferences. Some machine-learning techniques are used to transform diagnostic reconstructions of behavior into a diagnostic description of knowledge.

CONT

Once a plausible reconstructive interpretation has been reached, the diagnostic process can try to discover the ramifications of this interpretation for the formation of a partial knowledge state. When epistemic elements, such as subprocedures, rules, planning method, or concepts, participate in the reconstructed solution path, they can be primed as if they had been observed.
