richard swinburne is a one of those contemporary philosophers who refers to inductive reasoning to provide explanation for theism. utilizing the principle of credulity and simplicity, and by distinguishing the temporal orders from spatial orders, he attempts to strengthen the probability of the god existence. swinburne tries to answer to the limit-question by the hypothesis of theistic theology...

in this article the methodology proposed by li and wang for mixed qualitative and quantitative modeling and simulation of temporal behavior of processing unit is reexamined and extended to more complex case. the main issue of their approach considers the multivariate statistics of principal component analysis (pca), along with clustered fuzzy digraphs and reasoning. the pca and fuzzy clustering...

This paper describes a spatio-temporal configurations building approach, which has been applied to dynamics points in 1-dimensional space. In this approach, a temporal logic, Allen’s time intervals, is crossed with a new spatial logic based on topology called spatial states. These spatial states are derived from topological relationships and a new concept of degenerate topological relationships...

Amultitude of calculi for qualitative spatial reasoning (QSR) has been proposed during the last two decades. The number of practical applications that make use of QSR techniques is, however, comparatively small. One reason for this may be seen in the difficulty for people from outside the field to incorporate the required reasoning techniques into their software. Sometimes, proposed calculi are...

Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA) involves retrieving facts from a (KG) using natural language queries. A KG is curated set of consisting entities linked by relations. Certain include also temporal information forming Temporal (TKG). Although many questions involve explicit or implicit time constraints, question answering (QA) over TKGs has been relatively unexplored area. Existing solu...

In this paper we provide evidence supporting the hypothesis that qualitative spatial reasoning and representations provide a bridge between the perceptual and the conceptual. We demonstrate that qualitative visual structure combined with analogical processing can produce human-like results on a classic geometric analogies task. Importantly, the bulk of the computations are not particular to the...

An extension of Allen’s approach to interval-based temporal reasoning is presented. The new method allows for temporal and spatial reasoning on the basis of incomplete or imprecise knowledge of the kind that is available from inference and perception processes. The central idea of the representation method is the structuring of knowledge according to the conceptual neighborhood of temporal and ...
