Abduction in Classification Tasks
The aim of this paper is to show how abduction can be used in classification tasks when we deal with incomplete data. Some classifiers, even if based on decision tree induction like C4.5 [1], produce as output a set of rules in order to classify new given examples. Most of these rule-based classifiers make the assumption that at classification time we can know all about new given examples. Prob...
متن کاملSecond-Guessing in Tracing Tasks Considered Harmful?
[Context and motivation] Trace matrices are lynch pins for the development of missionand safety-critical software systems and are useful for all software systems, yet automated methods for recovering trace links are far from perfect. This limitation makes the job of human analysts who must vet recovered trace links more difficult. [Question/Problem] Earlier studies suggested that certain analys...

متن کاملCognate Costs in Bilingual Speech Production: Evidence from Language Switching
This study investigates cross-language lexical competition in the bilingual mental lexicon. It provides evidence for the occurrence of inhibition as well as the commonly reported facilitation during the production of cognates (words with similar phonological form and meaning in two languages) in a mixed picture naming task by highly proficient Welsh-English bilinguals. Previous studies have typ...
متن کاملCognate Priming 1 Orthography Plays a Critical Role in Cognate Priming: Evidence From
A series of three experiments was carried out in order to better characterize the representations that support long-term cognate priming. In Experiment 1, robust priming was obtained between orthographically similar French/English cognates in bilingual speakers, and this priming was mediated, in part, by orthographic codes given that priming for these items was dramatically reduced following a ...
