Some events, like moods or qualitative evaluations, are not grounded in any particular observations or actions but can emerge as the result of internal or external interactions. “Opinion” rules extracted from diverse sources such as blogs, newspaper articles, chat rooms, etc. can be synthesized together into a fuzzy cognitive map linking event nodes together. We explore in this paper how to lea...
متن کاملOn Effective Causal Learning
We have developed a framework for identifying causal relationships between events which are effective in the sense that they can be put to practical use, without regard to what the “true” causes really are. A rapid causal learning process is devised for temporally correlated events that can be observed proximally which is sufficient for the learning of many causalities involving basic physical ...
متن کاملMisconceived Causal Explanations for Emergent Processes
Studies exploring how students learn and understand science processes such as diffusion and natural selection typically find that students provide misconceived explanations of how the patterns of such processes arise (such as why giraffes' necks get longer over generations, or how ink dropped into water appears to "flow"). Instead of explaining the patterns of these processes as emerging from t...
متن کاملNeither fragments nor ellipsis *
Jason Merchant (2004, and Chap. 3, this volume) proposes to account for all speech acts performed with “fragments,” whether in discourse-initial position or otherwise, by appealing to syntactic ellipsis. Though his proposal is insightful, I offer empirical and methodological considerations against it. Empirical problems include: (a) His alleged “elliptical sentences” do not embed the way they s...
