Chronological Minimisation and Explanation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses chronological minimisation and the problem of representing common sense explanatory causal reasoning. The background of chronological minimisation is brieey surveyed. Then prioritised chronological minimisation is introduced. Finally, it is shown that this can be used as a basis for representing explanation.

Plan Inference for a Purpose
We introduce the PID-abductive framework, in which abduced explanations are selected depending on how they are used. The framework has been formulated with plan recognition as its target application, but is generally applicable to abductive explanation. The framework addresses in particular two problems for explanations: the selection of a best explanation, and the issue of selecting what to ex...

متن کاملChronological Time and Chronological Age: Problems of Temporal Diversity
It is the aim of this volume to revitalize the debate about the concepts of time implicit in the study of aging. A potentially interested but already overburdened reader may wonder whether one needs or whether there is a need for such a book. Time seems such an ordinary unproblematic topic that a work devoted to it might appear to be a digression from many pressing problems of aging. Indeed, ag...
متن کاملNambu mass hierarchies in strings
We show that a recent proposal by Nambu to generate a hierarchy among Yukawa couplings in the standard model may be easily implemented in su-perstring models. In such models, two of the main ingredients of the Nambu proposal find a natural explanation: minimising with respect to the Yukawas amounts to a minimisation with respect to the underlying moduli fields and a constraint on the Yukawas of...
