Censored Production Rule is an extension of standard production rule, which is concerned with problems of reasoning with incomplete information, subject to resource constraints and problem of reasoning efficiently with exceptions. A CPR has a form: IF A (Condition) THEN B (Action) UNLESS C (Censor), Where C is the exception condition. Fuzzy CPR are obtained by augmenting ordinary fuzzy producti...

This study evaluates how people represent “even if” conditionals when they have to integrate them with previous “if then” conditionals and also make an inference. The terms in the premises were ordered to facilitate their integration (Figure 1: If A then B; Even if B C). In half the cases, the “even if” conditional was expressed with a negation instead of an affirmation (If A then B; Even if no...

Artificial Neural Networks classifiers have many advantages such as: noise tolerance, possibility of parallelization, better training with a small quantity of data . . . . Coupling neural networks with an explanation component will increase its usage for those applications. The explanation capacity of neural networks is solved by extracting knowledge incorporated in the trained network [Andrews...
