True premises , false conclusion , yet valid
Here are two widely accepted assumptions about truth-conditional semantics for natural language: 1. It is truth-preserving. That is to say, if a NL semantic framework assigns the value 'true', relative to a given parameter of context c, to sentences S1,..., Sn, and if sentence S is a logical consequence of the set {S1,...,Sn}, then, relative to the same c, the framework should also assign the v...
متن کاملDrawing Sound Conclusions from Unsound Premises
Given sets Φ1 = {φ11, . . . , φ1u(1)}, . . . ,Φz = {φz1, . . . , φzu(z)} of boolean formulas, a formula ω follows from the conjunction ∧ Φi = ∧ φij iff ¬ω ∧ ∧z i=1 Φi is unsatisfiable. Now assume that, given integers 0 ≤ ei < u(i), we must check if ¬ω ∧ ∧z i=1 Φ ′ i remains unsatisfiable, where Φ ′ i ⊆ Φi is obtained by deleting ei arbitrarily chosen formulas of Φi, for each i = 1, . . . , z. I...
متن کاملErotetic Arguments from Inconsistent Premises∗
The aim of this paper is to generalize two basic concepts of Wísniewski’s theory of questions, namely question evocation and question generation, to the inconsistent case. For both concepts, I shall present three alternative definitions. Each of these is based on a prioritized adaptive logic. I shall show that, for the consistent case, each of the alternative definitions leads to the same resul...
متن کاملPriority Arguments via True stages
We describe a variation of Ash’s η-system, and give a new proof of Ash’s metatheorem. As an application, we prove a generalization of Ash and Knight’s theorem on pairs of structures.
متن کاملDrawing Sound Conclusions from Noisy Judgments
The quality of a search engine is typically evaluated using hand-labeled data sets, where the labels indicate the relevance of documents to queries. Often the number of labels needed is too large to be created by the best annotators, and so less accurate labels (e.g. from crowdsourcing) must be used. This introduces errors in the labels, and thus errors in standard precision metrics (such as P@...
