Implementing Unified Why- and Why-Not Provenance Through Games
Using provenance to explain why a query returns a result or why a result is missing has been studied extensively. However, the two types of questions have been approached independently of each other. We present an efficient technique for answering both types of questions for Datalog queries based on a game-theoretic model of provenance called provenance games. Our approach compiles provenance r...
متن کاملWhy Science Is Not Necessarily Self-Correcting.
The ability to self-correct is considered a hallmark of science. However, self-correction does not always happen to scientific evidence by default. The trajectory of scientific credibility can fluctuate over time, both for defined scientific fields and for science at-large. History suggests that major catastrophes in scientific credibility are unfortunately possible and the argument that "it is...

Currently, the only discipline that deals with scientific representations— albeit non-structural ones—is mathematics (as distinct from logic). I suggest that it is this discipline, only vastly expanded based on a new, structural, foundation, that will also be dealing with structural representations. Logic (including computability theory) is not concerned with the issues of various representatio...
متن کاملBecause It Had Not Rained

These may disagree as to the duration of the "days" of Genesis 1 but they have in common the opinion that the order of narration in that chapter coincides w...

As usual, he saw no sign of the forested swampland’s rarest inhabitants, the black bear and Florida panther—until he spotted a young panther, twisted and mangled in the middle of State Road 29. As Call sat beside the lifeless, still-warm body, he heard...
