Image quality assessment is a complex problem due to subjective nature of human visual perception. One of possible ways to take into consideration user’s subjectivism is to develop interactive system which could learn the properties of user’s visual perception. In this paper we present a novel way to do this via interactive neuroevolution approach. The key feature of this approach is training o...

Recent versions of objectivism can reply to the argument from metamers. The deeper rift between subjectivists and objectivists lies in the question of how to explain the structure of qualitative similarities among the colors. Subjectivism grounded in this fashion can answer the circularity objection raised by Dedrick. It endorses skepticism about the claim that there is some one property of obj...

descartes' absolutist rationalism makes a gap between human perception and the physical word. as a result, there will be a separation between his rational approach to the word and that of sensory-emotional. now, the problem is that whether there is any place for beauty and aestheticism in the cartesian rationalism. in this paper, we will deal with sense and sensory perception in descartes ...

The paper will focus on Bruno de Finetti’s position, which combines Bayesianism with a strictly subjective interpretation of probability. For de Finetti, probability is always subjective and expresses the degree of belief of the evaluating subject. His perspective does not accommodate a notion of “objective chance” in the way other subjectivists, including Frank Ramsey, do. To de Finetti’s eyes...

Postmodern philosophy as a prevalent concept and a hot buzzword in philosophy, science, and art is believed to have influenced the TESOL theoretically in some ways. The elements of postmodernism including: constructivism, subjectivism, relativism, localism, and pragmatism are found to have been...

The subjectivism of Austrian economics helps to explain the statistical fact of long memory in asset prices. The theory of Big Players is an Austrian approach to understanding the effects of discretionary policymaking in markets. It leads to implications that can be tested with statistics. In particular, Big Players induce herding and, thereby, an increase of persistence in asset prices. A rece...

Before 1970, we had a “story”, as the past course of a person’s or institution’s life. We can find names of surgeons and their contribution. There were a lot of good surgeons but few researchers on Experimental Surgery or Investigative Surgery and experimentation in laboratory animals. After 1970, we had a “history” in Brazil as a real, methodical record, without subjectivism or individualism. ...

The extravagances of quantum mechanics (QM) never fail to enrich daily the debate around natural philosophy. Entanglement, non-locality, collapse, many worlds, minds, and subjectivism have challenged generations thinkers. Its approach can perhaps be placed in stream logic, which “strangeness” QM is “measured” through violation Bell’s inequalities and, from there, attempts an interpretative path...
