In this paper we attempt to give an account of reasoning with legal cases contextualised within a general theory of persuasion in practical reasoning. We begin by presenting our general theory, concentrating on the variety of ways in which a particular position can be attacked. We then apply our theory to the legal domain, illustrating our approach by a case study based on the well known CATO s...

This paper argues that the CHREST architecture of cognition can shed important light on developing artificial general intelligence. The key theme is that “cognition is perception.” The description of the main components and mechanisms of the architecture is followed by a discussion of several domains where CHREST has already been successfully applied, such as the psychology of expert behaviour,...

The modeling of diagnostic systems of taxonomies using fuzzy logic is presented in this paper. Specifically the taxonomies system solo is studied, which that can be applied in a wide range of fields of diagnostic science. The intelligent system that is developed based on the presented modeling can make easier the use of diagnostic systems in education since the test correction is extremely hard...

This work presents issues and approaches regarding the creation of artificial intelligence (AI) middleware to aid the development of digital games and entertainment products in general. It starts with a discussion of the concept and context of an AI middleware (emphasizing the relations of traditional AI areas with computer games). Then, some approaches to the problem of creating an AI middlewa...

An artificial system that achieves human-level performance on opendomain tasks must have a huge amount of knowledge about the world. We argue that the most feasible way to construct such a system is to let it learn from the large collections of text, images, and video that are available online. More specifically, the system should use a Bayesian probability model to construct hypotheses about b...

emotional communication and economic factors play an important role in having a satisfying relationship and a more successful marriage. in this regard, we investigated the 10-year outcome of partners from three different economic levels regarding the relationship between emotional intelligence (ei) and marital satisfaction.the research was designed as a descriptive-correlative survey and data w...

this study aims to compare normal and gifted students in terms of perfectionism, emotional intelligence and mental health factors. descriptive causal-comparative research method was utilized. the sample consisted of 100 female high school students (50 normal students and 50 gifted students). research tools were the ghq, bar-on, hill and raven questionnaires. multivariate analysis of variance (m...

Empirical evidence suggests that people on average overestimate their own ability in a variety of circumstances. Little is known, however, about the origins of such overconfidence. To shed some light on this issue, we use the classic twin design to estimate the genetic and environmental contributions to individual differences in overconfidence. We collect data on overconfidence among 460 twin p...

Making decisions under uncertainty remains one of the central problems in AI research. Unfortunately, most uncertain real-world problems are so complex that any progress in them is extremely dif cult. Games model some elements of the real world, and offer a more controlled environment for exploring methods for dealing with uncertainty. Chess and chess-like games have long been used as a strateg...
