Computer science and decision theory
This paper reviews applications in computer science that decision theorists have addressed for years, discusses the requirements posed by these applications that place great strain on decision theory/social science methods, and explores applications in the social and decision sciences of newer decision-theoretic methods developed with computer science applications in mind. The paper deals with ...
متن کاملWorkshop on Computer Science and Decision Theory
Arrow’s theorem has fostered a lot of work on the problem to aggregate individual preferences into a collective preference or more generally into a collective choice function. Still more generally the ”russian school” (see e.g. Aizerman and Aleskerov 1995, Aizerman and Malishevski 1981 or Aleskerov 1999) has considered the problem to aggregate individual choice functions into a collective choic...
متن کاملComputer Science and Decision Theory: Applications of Notions of Consensus
Many modern computer science problems involve issues that decision theorists have addressed for years, in particular issues involving consensus and associated order relations. Applications of methods of decision theory to problems of computer science place great strain on these methods due to the sheer size of the problems addressed, limitations on information possessed, and sequential nature o...
متن کاملPhysics - and Computer Science - related Theory
Networks of Relations for Representation, Learning, and Generalization (6 pages) Matthew Cook and Jehoshua Bruck Proc. Conf. on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA'04) Content: In this paper I give an outline of how a network of relations can be used as an associative memory, and how such a memory can be used to learn control tasks such as riding a bicycle. Some simple proofs are ...
متن کاملSPECIFICATION and THEORY CONSTRUCTION in COMPUTER SCIENCE
We examine the di¤erence between theory construction in science and speci cation in engineering. We then use this to explore some aspects of computer science. Some of the discussion will be inuenced by the rule following considerations. 1 Speci cation versus Theory Construction Given a naturally occurring artefact, a scientist attempts to understand it. To do so, she makes some initial observa...
