Deriving Explanations from Qualitative Models
Qualitative computer simulations have great potential for teaching people to understand and interact with their physical environment. Prerequisite for using that potential, is that these simulations can be explained to humans in ways that they comprehend. Preferably, these explanations should be generated on the basis of the qualitative models that underly the simulations, to avoid having to ha...
متن کاملCommonsense Reasoning about Causality: Deriving Behavior from Structure
This paper presents a qualitative-reasoning method for predicting the behavior of mechanisms characterized by continuous, time-varying parameters. The structure of a mechanism is described in terms of a set of parameters and the constraints that hold among them : essentially a 'qualitative differential equation'. The qualitative-behavior description consists of a discrete set of time-points, at...
متن کاملDeriving Qualitative Rules from Neural Networks
As alternative to physical models, neural networks are a valueable forecast tool in environmental sciences. They can be used effectively due to their learning capabilities and their low computational costs. As far as the relevant variables of the system are measured and put into the network, it works fast and accurately. However, one of the major shortcomings of neural networks is that they do ...
متن کاملQualitative System Identification from Imperfect Data
Experience in the physical sciences suggests that the only realistic means of understanding complex systems is through the use of mathematical models. Typically, this has come to mean the identification of quantitative models expressed as differential equations. Quantitative modelling works best when the structure of the model (i.e., the form of the equations) is known; and the primary concern ...
متن کاملDeriving Causal Explanation from Qualitative Model Reasoning
This paper discusses a qualitative simulator QRiOM that uses Qualitative Reasoning (QR) technique, and a process-based ontology to model, simulate and explain the behaviour of selected organic reactions. Learning organic reactions requires the application of domain knowledge at intuitive level, which is difficult to be programmed using traditional approach. The main objective of QRiOM is to hel...
