Inconsistent approach in schools

On understanding inconsistent disciplinary behaviour in schools

Inconsistent disciplinary administration across schools can inequitably impact students’ education access opportunities by separating certain students from familiar learning environments, especially in misconduct cases that result in longer-term removal. We empirically estimate whether such inconsistencies are attributable to heterogeneity in student body demographic characteristics. The result...

Bayesian approach for inconsistent information

In engineering situations, we usually have a large amount of prior knowledge that needs to be taken into account when processing data. Traditionally, the Bayesian approach is used to process data in the presence of prior knowledge. Sometimes, when we apply the traditional Bayesian techniques to engineering data, we get inconsistencies between the data and prior knowledge. These inconsistencies ...

Motivating Time-Inconsistent Agents: A Computational Approach

In this paper we investigate the computational complexity of motivating time-inconsistent agents to complete long term projects. We resort to an elegant graph-theoretic model, introduced by Kleinberg and Oren [4], which consists of a task graph G with n vertices, including a source s and target t, and an agent that incrementally constructs a path from s to t in order to collect rewards. The twi...

Query Failure Explanation in Inconsistent Knowledge Bases: An Argumentation Approach

We propose an argumentation based explanation for query failure explanation under ICR-semantics in an Ontology-Based Data Access (OBDA) setting. We use a rule-based language and we base our work on the equivalence between ICRbased query answering in inconsistent knowledge bases and sceptical acceptance of arguments. We propose a multilevel explanation that exploits both the inference power of t...
