Classification and Reductio-ad-Absurdurn
Proofs for the optimality of classification in real-world machine learning situations are constructed. The validity of each proof requires reasoning about the probability of certain subsets of feature vectors. It is shown that linear discriminants classify by making the least demanding assumptions on the values of these probabilities. This enables measuring the confidence of classification by l...
متن کاملReductio ad Absurdum: Planning Proofs by Contradiction
Sometimes it is pragmatically useful to prove a theorem by contradiction rather than finding a direct proof. Some reductio ad absurdum arguments have made mathematical history and the general issue if and how a proof by contradiction can be replaced by a direct proof touches upon deep foundational issues such as the legitimacy of tertium non datur arguments in classical vs. intuitionistic found...
متن کاملIbn Sīnā on Reductio Ad Absurdum
This paper studies the analysis of reductio ad absurdum by Ibn Sı̄nā (known to the Latin West as Avicenna), who was born in 980 in a village near the Bactrian town of Balkh on the Silk Road, and died in 1037 after a career spent moving around within the present boundaries of Iran. References to Ibn Sı̄nā’s writings are to his Arabic texts listed in the bibliography, and are given in the format pa...
متن کاملResisting Sparrow's sexy reductio: selection principles and the social good.
Principles of procreative beneficence (PPBs) hold that parents have good reasons to select the child with the best life prospects. Sparrow (2010) claims that PPBs imply that we should select only female children, unless we attach normative significance to “normal” human capacities. We argue that this claim fails on both empirical and logical grounds. Empirically, Sparrow’s argument for greater ...
متن کاملReductio ad Absurdum Argumentation in Normal Logic Programs
This paper introduces a new method for defining the argumentative semantics of Normal Logic Programs. In doing so, our single and unified approach allows one to obtain the Stable Models [11] as a special case, or the more general Revision Complete Scenarios here defined. Normal Logic Programs are approached as assumption-based argumentation systems. We generalize this setting by allowing both n...
