Simulating what cannot be simulated
The background to these notes is the expectation that mathematical modelling and simulation is going to play increasingly important role in the understanding of the organization and control of genetic-, metabolic-, and signalling pathways. I am going to argue that for modelling and simulation to help our understanding of cellular dynamics, the current practice of experimental design has to chan...
متن کاملClimatic changes: what if the global increase of CO(2) emissions cannot be kept under control?
Climatic changes threaten the planet. Most articles related to the subject present estimates of the disasters expected to occur, but few have proposed ways to deal with the impending menaces. One such threat is the global warming caused by the continuous increase in CO2 emissions leading to rising ocean levels due to the increasing temperatures of the polar regions. This threat is assumed to ev...

متن کاملWhat Happens to Intentional Concepts in Requirements Engineering if Intentional States Cannot Be Known?
I assume in this paper that the proposition “I cannot know your intentional states” is true. I consider its consequences on the use of so-called “intentional concepts” for Requirements Engineering. I argue that if you take this proposition to be true, then intentional concepts (e.g., goal, belief, desire, intention, etc.) start to look less relevant (though not irrelevant), despite being the fo...
متن کاملWhat Cannot be Learned with Bethe Approximations
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its Bethe approximation. We show that there exists a regime of empirical marginals where such Bethe learning will fail. By failure we mean that the empirical marginals cannot be recovered from the approximated maximum likel...
