Decision Making under Uncertainty: Operations Research Meets AI (Again)
Models for sequential decision making under uncertainty (e.g., Markov decision processes,or MDPs) have been studied in operations research for decades. The recent incorporation of ideas from many areas of AI, including planning, probabilistic modeling, machine learning, and knowledge representation) have made these models much more widely applicable. I briefly survey recent advances within AI i...
متن کاملUnder Darwin’s Cosh? Neo-Aristotelian Thinking in Environmental Ethics
ions, as averages over populations of individuals) are not. Sober, rightly in my view, rejects both halves of this claim. (See Sober, ‘Evolution, Population Thinking, and Essentialism’, op. cit. note 18.) In the present context Mayr’s questionable metaphysical picture need not be a cause for concern. His key insight concerning the explanatory priority of individual variation in population think...
متن کاملNot Again: Benzodiazepines Once More Under Attack.
It seems that we are again in the midst of a new storm of concern about an epidemic of benzodiazepine (BZ) overuse, misuse, and abuse. The first concern, in the 1980s, posited BZs as an epidemic of excessive prescribing and was frequently mentioned in books, movies, and numerous lay magazine articles. There was also concern that BZs were abused or misused, caused addiction with difficult withdr...
متن کاملUsing whole exome sequencing to walk from clinical practice to research and back again.
W hole exome sequencing (WES) is currently used to identify the genetic causes of many diseases, especially monogenic disorders. Ng et al, 1 in 2009, completed the first proof-of-principle study demonstrating the feasibility of using exome sequencing to identify causal variants for diseases, specifically Freeman-Sheldon syndrome. Within 2 years, there was a marked increase in publications prese...
متن کاملScintillation characteristics of cosh-Gaussian beams.
By using the generalized beam formulation, the scintillation index is derived and evaluated for cosh-Gaussian beams in a turbulent atmosphere. Comparisons are made to cos-Gaussian and Gaussian beam scintillations. The variations of scintillations against propagation length at different values of displacement and focusing parameters are examined. The dependence of scintillations on source size a...
