Human Judgment in algorithmic loops: Individual justice and automated decision‐making

Medical decisionmaking for incompetent persons: the Massachusetts substituted judgment model.

Algorithmic Differentiation through Convergent Loops

We consider an explicit iterate-to-fixedpoint operator and derive associated rules for both forward and reverse mode algorithmic differentiation. Like other AD transformation rules, these are exact and efficient. In this case, they generate code which itself invokes the iterate-to-fixedpoint operator. Loops which iterate until a variable changes less than some tolerance should be regarded as ap...

Individual rights and social justice.

A neuroscientific approach to normative judgment in law and justice.

Developments in cognitive neuroscience are providing new insights into the nature of normative judgment. Traditional views in such disciplines as philosophy, religion, law, psychology and economics have differed over the role and usefulness of intuition and emotion in judging blameworthiness. Cognitive psychology and neurobiology provide new tools and methods for studying questions of normative...

Automated judgment of document qualities

the assessment of document qualities such as depth and objectivity. The primary purpose is to develop a qualitysensitive functionality, orthogonal to relevance, to select documents for an interactive question-answering system. The study consisted of two stages. In the classifier construction stage, nine document qualities deemed important by information professionals were identified and classif...
