The resolution of anaphora is dependent on a number of factors discussed in the literature: syntactic parallelism, topicality, etc. A system that attempts to resolve anaphora will have to represent many of these factors, and deal with their interaction. In addition, there must be a principle that simply says that the system needs to look for an antecedent. Without such a principle, if none of t...

This paper examines the hypothesis of modular judgment in the context of attribution of blame to rape victims. Modular judgment was operationalized using blame schemata suited to judgment of everyday aggression. Subjects were 72 individuals, 36 therapists and 36 non-therapists; half were men and half women. Each subject was presented with written descriptions of four rapes, which included infor...

While resting state functional connectivity has been shown to decrease in patients with mild and/or moderate Alzheimer's disease, it is not yet known how functional connectivity changes in patients as the disease progresses. Furthermore, it has been noted that the default mode network is not as homogenous as previously assumed and several fractionations of the network have been proposed. Here, ...

Modeling correlated default risk is a new phenomenon currently sweeping through the credit markets. Little is known about the drivers of default risk at the portfolio level. This paper develops a methodology to assess alternative specifications of the joint distribution of default risk. Specifications are based on three criteria: level, asymmetry, and tail-dependence in the joint default distri...

Credit Risk is an important issue in the Banking Industry. risk Prediction and assessment of credit a difficult task for managers. Industry has large amount data related to behavior customer their history, but this raw not useful making correct judgment decisions. The banking industry need decision system, distinguish between good customers default customers. mining domain suitable assessing de...

We report empirical results on factors that influence how people reason with default rules of the form "Most x's have property P", in scenarios that specify information about exceptions to these rules and in scenarios that specify default-rule inheritance. These factors include (a) whether the individual, to which the default rule might apply, is similar to a known exception, when that similari...

It is hard to overestimate Paul Meehl’s influence on the psychology of judgment and decision making. His “disturbing little book” Clinical versus Statistical Prediction: A Theoretical Analysis and a Review of the Evidence is known as attacking human judgment and calling for replacing clinicians by linear actuarial methods. More than forty years later, fast and frugal heuristics—proposed as mode...

A decision method for Reiter's default logic is developed. It can determine whether a default theory has an extension, whether a formula is in some extension of a default theory and whether a formula is in every extension of a default the­ ory. The method handles full propositional de­ fault logic. It can be implemented to work in polynomial space and by using only a theorem prover for the unde...

Automatic intuitions and deliberate reasoning, sourcing internal representations of our personal norms and values, contribute to our beliefs of what is right and wrong. We used fMRI to directly compare moral (M) and non-moral (NM) decision-making processes using scenarios requiring conscious deliberation, whereby the main character declared an intention to take a course of action. Furthermore, ...
