Although many these well studied AI, this important distinction rare...

We present a problem solving paradigm called generate, test and debug (GTD) that combines associational rules and causal models, producing a system with both the efficiency of rules and the breadth of problem solving power of causal models. The generator uses associational rules to generate plausible hypotheses; the tester uses causal models to test the hypotheses and produce a detailed charact...

Primary olfactory cortical areas receive direct input from the olfactory bulb, but also have extensive associational connections that have been mainly studied with classical anatomical methods. Here, we shed light on the functional properties of associational connections in the anterior and posterior piriform cortices (aPC and pPC) using optophysiological methods. We found that the aPC receives...

Recently, there has been a proliferation of studies investigating the relationship between diversity and outcomes such as social cohesion and civic mindedness.
