Computational Models of Intuitive Physics
People have a powerful “physical intelligence” – an ability to infer physical properties of objects and predict future states in complex, dynamic scenes – which they use to interpret their surroundings, plan safe and effective actions, build and understand devices and machines, and communicate efficiently. For instance, you can choose where to place your coffee to prevent it from spilling, arra...
متن کاملSources of uncertainty in intuitive physics
Recent work suggests that people predict how objects interact in a manner consistent with Newtonian physics, but with additional uncertainty. However, the sources of uncertainty have not been examined. In this study, we measure perceptual noise in initial conditions and stochasticity in the physical model used to make predictions. Participants predicted the trajectory of a moving object through...
متن کاملDissociating intuitive physics from intuitive psychology: Evidence from Williams syndrome.
Prior work suggests that our understanding of how things work ("intuitive physics") and how people work ("intuitive psychology") are distinct domains of human cognition. Here we directly test the dissociability of these two domains by investigating knowledge of intuitive physics and intuitive psychology in adults with Williams syndrome (WS) - a genetic developmental disorder characterized by se...
متن کاملa study on rate making and required reserves determination in reinsurance market: a simulation
reinsurance is widely recognized as an important instrument in the capital management of an insurance company as well as its risk management tool. this thesis is intended to determine premium rates for different types of reinsurance policies. also, given the fact that the reinsurance coverage of every company depends upon its reserves, so different types of reserves and the method of their calc...
Limits on new physics from black holes
Black holes emit high energy particles which induce a finite density potential for any scalar field φ coupling to the emitted quanta. Due to energetic considerations, φ evolves locally to minimize the effective masses of the outgoing states. In theories where φ resides at a metastable minimum, this effect can drive φ over its potential barrier and classically catalyze the decay of the vacuum. B...
