Tackling benchmark problems for commonsense reasoning.
- In Proceedings of Bridging - Workshop on Bridging the Gap between Human and Automated Reasoning,
, 2015
"... Abstract. There is increasing interest in the field of automated commonsense reasoning to find real world benchmarks to challenge and to further develop reasoning systems. One interesting example is the Triangle Choice of Plausible Alternatives (Triangle-COPA), which is a set of problems presented ..."

Probabilistic Inference Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods
, 1993
"... Probabilistic inference is an attractive approach to uncertain reasoning and empirical learning in artificial intelligence. Computational difficulties arise, however, because probabilistic models with the necessary realism and flexibility lead to complex distributions over high-dimensional spaces. R ..."

. Related problems in other fields have been tackled using Monte Carlo methods based on sampling using Markov chains, providing a rich array of techniques that can be applied to problems in artificial intelligence. The "Metropolis algorithm" has been used to solve difficult problems in statistical
The Determinants of Credit Spread Changes.
- Journal of Finance
, 2001
"... ABSTRACT Using dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are ..."

changes. Below, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. From a contingent-claims, or noarbitrage standpoint, credit spreads obtain for two fundamental reasons: 1) there is a risk of default, and 2) in the event of default, the bondholder receives only a portion of the promised payments
The Lumière Project: Bayesian User Modeling for Inferring the Goals and Needs of Software Users
- In Proceedings of the Fourteenth Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence
, 1998
"... The Lumi`ere Project centers on harnessing probability and utility to provide assistance to computer software users. We review work on Bayesian user models that can be employed to infer a user's needs by considering a user's background, actions, and queries. Several problems were tackled i ..."

Svm-knn: Discriminative nearest neighbor classification for visual category recognition
- in CVPR
, 2006
"... We consider visual category recognition in the framework of measuring similarities, or equivalently perceptual distances, to prototype examples of categories. This approach is quite flexible, and permits recognition based on color, texture, and particularly shape, in a homogeneous framework. While n ..."

nearest neighbor classifiers are natural in this setting, they suffer from the problem of high variance (in bias-variance decomposition) in the case of limited sampling. Alternatively, one could use support vector machines but they involve time-consuming optimization and computation of pairwise distances
Efficient Capital Market: II” ,
- Journal of Finance, No
, 1991
"... SEQUELS ARE RARELY AS good as the originals, so I approach this review of the market efflciency literature with trepidation. The task is thornier than it was 20 years ago, when work on efficiency was rather new. The literature is now so large that a full review is impossible, and is not attempted h ..."

, is that it is a clean benchmark that allows me to sidestep the messy problem of deciding what are reasonable information and trading costs. I can focus instead on the more interesting task of laying out the evidence on the adjustment of prices to various kinds of information. Each reader is then free to judge
Commonsense Reasoning meets Theorem Proving
"... Abstract. The area of commonsense reasoning aims at the creation of systems able to simulate the human way of rational thinking. This paper describes the use of automated reasoning methods for tackling commonsense reasoning benchmarks. For this we use a benchmark suite introduced in the literature. ..."

Nonmonotonic Causal Theories

The nonmonotonic causal logic defined in this paper can be used to represent properties of actions, including actions with conditional and indirect effects, nondeterministic actions, and concurrently executed actions. It has been applied to several challenge problems in the theory of commonsense kno ..."

The Public Acquisition of Commonsense Knowledge

of using natural language rather than formal logic, and demonstrate this strategy with a search engine application that employs simple commonsense reasoning to reformulate problem queries into more effective solution queries.
Definability and Commonsense Reasoning
- ARTIF. INTELL
, 1997
"... The definition of concepts is a central problem in commonsense reasoning. Many themes in nonmonotonic reasoning concern implicit and explicit definability. Implicit definability in nonmonotonic logic is always relative to the context - the current theory of the world. We show that fixed point equati ..."
