The Automatic Deduction of Classificatory Systems from Linguistic Theories (Abridged)

Classifying linguistic objects is a widespread and important linguistic task, and computational linguistics often requires the deduction of a classiicatory system from a general linguistic theory. Since hand deducing a classiicatory system may consume much eeort and introduce errors, a device that eeectively deduces accurate classiicatory systems from general linguistic theories would beneet co...

Causes of Absence in College-Students *Abridged by Editor.

Arithmetic without Fear *Abridged.

Now why should such things be ? How can we make the rough places plain and the crooked straight, so that all children may enter into their rightful heritage, that fairyland which the realm of number was to Lewis Carroll or A. A. Milne ? The extent of the Arithmetic phobia is not so widespread as it is usually supposed to be. I have repeatedly found that the majority of small children really do ...

Abridged Petri Nets

A new graphical framework, Abridged Petri Nets (APNs) is introduced for bottom-up modeling of complex stochastic systems. APNs are similar to Stochastic Petri Nets (SPNs) in as much as they both rely on component-based representation of system state space, in contrast to Markov chains that explicitly model the states of an entire system. In both frameworks, so-called tokens (denoted as small ci...

Logical Induction (Abridged)∗

We present a computable algorithm that assigns probabilities to every logical statement in a given formal language, and refines those probabilities over time. For instance, if the language is Peano arithmetic, it assigns probabilities to all arithmetical statements, including claims about the twin prime conjecture, the outputs of long-running computations, and its own probabilities. We show tha...
