Chapitre 3. Principes éthiques a priori et justifications a posteriori

A Priori / a Posteriori

DATA TYPE See DATA ABSTRACTION ABSTRACTION (The result of) a process of simplification, to describe something at a more general level than the level of detail seen from another point of view. This is often achieved by omitting details specific to individual cases or to methods of implementation. For example, a realtor’s description of a house may leave out architectural detail so that it is an ...

A Priori and A Posteriori: A Bootstrapping Relationship

The distinction between a priori and a posteriori knowledge has been the subject of an enormous amount of discussion, but the literature is biased against recognizing the intimate relationship between these forms of knowledge. For instance, it seems to be almost impossible to find a sample of pure a priori or a posteriori knowledge. In this paper, it will be suggested that distinguishing betwee...

Uniting a priori and a posteriori knowledge: A research framework

The ability to perform machine classification is a critical component of an intelligent system. We propose to unite the logical, a priori approach to this problem with the empirical, a posteriori approach. We describe in particular how the a priori knowledge encoded in Cyc can be merged with technology for probabilistic inference using Markov logic networks. We describe two problem domains – th...

A priori versus a posteriori filtering of association rules

A Priori versus a Posteriori Ltering of Association Rules

The concept of inductive database proposed by Mannila is a beautiful formalization of the interactive mining process In the concrete setting of association rule mining an inductive database provides virtual tables containing vir tually all itemsets and rules over the data The user does not care how these inductive tables are implemented for him mining is nothing but querying these tables For ex...
