Towards a Normative Theory of Scientific Evidence
A scientific reasoning system makes decisions using objective evidence in the form of inde pendent experimental trials, propositional ax ioms, and constraints on the probabilities of events. As a first step towards this goal, we propose a system that derives probability in tervals from objective evidence in those forms. Our reasoning system can manage uncertainty about data and rules in a ru...
متن کاملToward A Normative Theory of Normative Marketing Theory
We show how different approaches to developing marketing strategies depend on the type of environment a firm faces, where environments are distinguished in terms of their systems properties rather than their content. Particular emphasis is given to turbulent environments in which outcomes are not a priori predictable and are not traceable to individual firm actions and we show that, in these co...
متن کاملA Computational Theory of Dynamical Modeling in Scientific Reasoning
The focus of this research is on dynamical modeling in scientific reasoning. Dynamical modeling uses, transforms, and constructs models which capture the causal and structural dynamics of given phenomena. I describe a computational theory of dynamical modeling which utilizes representational and processing languages from artificial intelligence to represent and manipulate the dynamical models u...
متن کاملTowards an explanatory and computational theory of scientific discovery
We propose an explanatory and computational theory of transformative discoveries in science. The theory is derived from a recurring theme found in a diverse range of scientific change, scientific discovery, and knowledge diffusion theories in philosophy of science, sociology of science, social network analysis, and information science. The theory extends the concept of structural holes from soc...
متن کاملTowards Computational Evaluation of Evidence for Scientific Assertions with Nanopublications
On the Web, it is possible for anyone to publish linked open data as RDF. Whilst this has huge potential to benefit data integration efforts, it highlights challenges of assessing data quality and trust. Nanopublication is an approach to data and knowledge publication in which assertions are individually encoded in RDF along with details about provenance, context and attribution. Collectively t...
