No proof for subjective experience in insects

Animal Sentience 2016.100: Klein & Barron on Insect Experience Insects have the capacity for subjective experience

To what degree are non-human animals conscious? We propose that the most meaningful way to approach this question is from the perspective of functional neurobiology. Here we focus on subjective experience, which is a basic awareness of the world without further reflection on that awareness. This is considered the most basic form of consciousness. Tellingly, this capacity is supported by the int...

Proof Checking Using Experience

Checking Mathematics proofs is a complex task which needs experience. Yet most AI approaches to proof checking tend to use general methods rather than knowledge rich approaches. The program MU, Mathematics Understander, reads mathematics texts expressed in the Formal Expression Language (FEL), and provides explanations of the proof steps. MU has successfully checked proofs in group theory and c...

Erythropoietin in patients with acute myocardial infarction: no proof of effectiveness or proof of no effectiveness?

Exploiting past proof experience

We are going to present two methods that allow to exploit previous experience in the area of automated deduction. The rst method adapts (learns) the parameters of a heuristic employed for controlling the application of inference rules in order to nd a known proof with as little redundant search eeort as possible. Adaptation is accomplished by a genetic algorithm. A heuristic learned that way ca...
