Computer Modeling of Scientific and Mathematical Discovery Processes
Just forty years ago, in Chicago, John von Neumann delivered the eighteenth Josiah Willard Gibbs Lecture. His topic was the ergodic theorem and statistical mechanics. Within a month of that occasion, he and his colleague, Oscar Morgenstern, published their seminal work, The theory of games and economic behavior, applying discrete mathematics to problems of bargaining and competition in economic...
متن کاملSupporting scientific discovery processes in Discovery Net
The activity of e-Science involves making discoveries by analysing data to find new knowledge. Discoveries of value cannot be made by simply performing a pre-defined set of steps to produce a result. Rather, there is an original, creative aspect to the activity which by its nature cannot be automated. In addition to finding new knowledge, discovery therefore also concerns finding a process to f...
متن کاملProcesses and Constraints in Explanatory Scientific Discovery
In previous publications, we have reported a computational approach to constructing explanatory process models of dynamic systems from time-series data and background knowledge. We have not aimed to mimic the detailed behavior of human researchers, but we maintain that our systems address the same tasks as ecologists, biologists, and other theory-guided scientists, and that they carry out searc...
متن کاملThe Computer-Aided Discovery of Scientific Knowledge
In this paper, we review AI research on computational discovery and its recent application to the discovery of new scientiic knowledge. We characterize ve historical stages of the scientiic discovery process , which we use as an organizational framework in describing applications. We also identify ve distinct steps during which developers or users can innuence the behavior of a computational di...
متن کاملLaboratory Replication of Scientific Discovery Processes
Fourteen subjects were tape-recorded while they undertook to find a law to summarize numerical doto they were given. The source of the data was not identified, nor were the variables lobeled semantically. Unknown to the subjects. the data were measurements of the distances of the planets from the sun and the periods of their revolutions obout it-equivalent to the doto used by Johonnes Kepler to...
