Knowledge Guaranteed

چکیده
What is the relationship between saying ‘I know that Q’ and guaranteeing that Q? John Austin, Roderick Chisholm and Wilfrid Sellars all agreed that there is some important connection, but disagreed over what exactly it was. In this paper I discuss each of their accounts and present a new one of my own. Drawing on speech-act theory and recent research on the epistemic norms of speech acts, I suggest that the relationship is this: by saying ‘I know that Q’, you represent yourself as having the authority to guarantee that Q.

Completeness Guaranteed Approximations for OWL-DL Query Answering
How to provide scalable and quality guaranteed approximation for query answering over expressive description logics (DLs) is an important problem in knowledge representation (KR). This is a pressing issue, in particular due to the fact that, for the widely used standard Web Ontology Language OWL, whether conjunctive query answering is decidable is still an open problem. Pan and Thomas propose a...
متن کاملOn the Use of Guaranteed Possibility Measures in Possibilistic Networks
Possibilistic networks are useful tools for reasoning under uncertainty. Uncertain pieces of information can be described by different measures: possibility measures, necessity measures and more recently, guaranteed possibility measures, denoted by Δ. This paper first proposes the use of guaranteed possibility measures to define a so-called Δ-based possibilistic network. This graphical represen...
متن کاملThe Paradox of Intervening in Complex Adaptive Systems; Comment on “Using Complexity and Network Concepts to Inform Healthcare Knowledge Translation”
This commentary addresses two points raised by Kitson and colleagues’ article. First, increasing interest in applying the Complexity Theory lens in healthcare needs further systematic work to create some commonality between concepts used. Second, our need to adopt a better understanding of how these systems organise so we can change the systems overall behaviour, creates a paradox. We seek to m...
متن کاملNON-FRAGILE GUARANTEED COST CONTROL OF T-S FUZZY TIME-VARYING DELAY SYSTEMS WITH LOCAL BILINEAR MODELS
This paper focuses on the non-fragile guaranteed cost control problem for a class of T-S fuzzy time-varying delay systems with local bilinear models. The objective is to design a non-fragile guaranteed cost state feedback controller via the parallel distributed compensation (PDC) approach such that the closed-loop system is delay-dependent asymptotically stable and the closed-loop performance i...
متن کاملGuaranteed optimisation of the parameters of continuous-time knowledge-based models
Nonlinear parameter estimation is usually achieved via the minimization of some possibly nonconvex cost function. We show how interval analysis can be used to characterize the set of all global minimizers of this cost function in a guaranteed way. Positivity allows us to take advantage of Müller’s theorems to make such a guaranteed search more efficient in the case of models described by ordina...
