Deriving Explanations From Partial Temporal Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
The representation and manipulation of natural human understanding of temporal phenomena is a fundamental field of study in Computer Science, which aims both to emulate human thinking, and to use the methods of human intelligence to underpin engineering solutions. In particular, in the domain of Artificial Intelligence, temporal knowledge may be uncertain and incomplete due to the unavailability of complete and absolute temporal information. This paper introduces an inferential framework for deriving logical explanations from partial temporal information. Based on a graphical representation which allows expression of both absolute and relative temporal knowledge in incomplete forms, the system can deliver a verdict to the question if a given set of statements is temporally consistent or not, and provide understandable logical explanation of analysis by simplified contradiction and rule based reasoning.

A new methodology for deriving the efficient frontier of stocks portfolios: An advanced risk-return model
In this paper after a general literature review on the concept of Efficient Frontier (EF), an important inadequacy of the Variance based models for deriving EFs and the high necessity for applying another risk measure is exemplified. In this regard for this study the risk measure of Lower Partial Moment of the first order is decided to replace Variance. Because of the particular shape of the pr...
متن کاملAbducing Qualitative Spatio-Temporal Histories from Partial Observations
We present a logic-based framework in which a qualitative spatio-temporal world model is constructed from local surveys i.e. partial spatio-temporal knowledge. Complete space-time histories are obtained through an abductive process driven by continuity constraints and a library of possibly domain specific behaviour patterns. The abduction technique is circumscription, which implements the heuri...
متن کاملImplicit Constraints for Qualitative Spatial and Temporal Reasoning
Qualitative information about spatial or temporal entities is represented by specifying qualitative relations between these entities. It is then possible to apply qualitative reasoning methods for tasks such as checking consistency of the given information, deriving previously unknown information or answering queries. Depending on the kind of information that is represented, qualitative reasoni...
متن کاملBiological invasions: deriving the regions at risk from partial measurements.
We consider the problem of forecasting the regions at higher risk for newly introduced invasive species. Favourable and unfavourable regions may indeed not be known a priori, especially for exotic species whose hosts in native range and newly-colonised areas can be different. Assuming that the species is modelled by a logistic-like reaction-diffusion equation, we prove that the spatial arrangem...
متن کاملThe Effect of Partial Weight Support with Ground Walking Training on Temporal and Spatial Gait in Patients with Chronic Stroke
Background. There have been many studies on partial weight support walking training. However, most studies have been performed in treadmill settings, not in actual walking environments. Objectives. This study aimed to investigate the effect of partial weight support ground walking training on the temporal and spatial gait parameters of chronic stroke patients. Methods. This study was designed...
