I argue that the Parmenidean argument against the possibility of change initiated a metaphysical response that 1) has dominated Western thought since, and 2) creates aporia for understanding mental phenomena. A return to a process framework is consistent with historical trends, consistent with contemporary physics, and permits metaphysical emergence — most especially the emergence of normative ...

While the effectiveness of one-on-one human tutoring has been well established, a great deal of controversy surrounds the issue of which features of tutorial dialogue separate effective uses of dialogue in tutoring from those that are less effective.

In the Heraclitus paradigm, a delta value or more simply, delta, is a concrete value that corresponds to a difference between database states. This paper presents the Heraclitus[OO] (abbreviated H2O) DBPL, which provides a syntax and semantics for working with deltas in the context of object-oriented databases. The paper also considers the use of deltas in connection with detecting conflict bet...

Modern machine learning techniques often use discriminative models that require large amounts of labeled data. Since generating labeled training data sets is expensive, an alternative approach is to use a generative model, which leverages a simple heuristic to weakly label data. Domain experts prefer using generative models because they “tell a story” about their data. Unfortunately, generative...

this paper provides a critical analysis of heidegger’s brief remarks in his “letter on humanism” in which he links ethics to ethos and ultimately to our relation to time and history. central to this analysis is the phrase of heraclitus, ēthos anthrōpōi daimōn, from which heidegger claims that human living (ethos) is inseparable from the event of appropriation (ereignis) which generates our hist...
