Real-Time Self-Explanatory Simulation
We present Pika, an implemented self-explanatory simulator that is more than 5000 times faster than SimGen Mk2 [ Forbus and Falkenhainer, 1992 ] , the previous state of the art. Like SimGen, Pika automatically prepares and runs a numeric simulation of a physical device speci ed as a particular instantiation of a general domain theory, and it is capable of explaining its reasoning and the simula...

متن کاملExplanatory Lineage
As data analytics becomes mainstream, and the complexity of the underlying data and computation grows, end-users will increasingly rely on visualizations to present simplified statistics that summarizes interesting properties in the data. It is even more important to provide tools that help analysts understand the underlying reasons when they see anomalous results. We envision adding a new expl...
متن کاملThe relationship of explanatory flexibility to explanatory style.

One important cognitive content index, explanatory style, represents the habitual way that individuals assign causes to events that occur in their lives. A more contemporary model, however, emphasizes the cognitive process by which these attributio...
متن کاملExplanatory Inference under Uncertainty
Abstract. This paper investigates the performance of explanatory or abductive inference in certain hypothesis selection tasks. The strategy is to use various measures of explanatory power to compare competing hypotheses and then make an inference to the best explanation. Computer simulations are used to compare the accuracy of such approaches with a standard approach when uncertainty is present...
