Aggregation and Relevance in Deductive Databases
In this paper we present a technique to optimize queries on deductive databases that use aggregate operations such as min, max, and \largest k values." Our approach is based on an extended notion of relevance of facts to queries that takes aggregate operations into account. The approach has two parts: a rewriting part that labels predicates with \aggregate selections," and an evaluation part th...
متن کاملRunning Head: RELIGIOSITY AND CONSEQUENTIALIST MORAL THINKING Religiosity, Political Orientation, and Consequentialist Moral Thinking
Religiosity and Consequentialist Moral Thinking 2 Three studies demonstrated that the moral judgments of religious individuals and political conservatives are highly insensitive to consequentialist (i.e., outcome-based) considerations. In Study 1, both religiosity and political conservatism predicted a resistance towards consequentialist thinking concerning a range of transgressive acts, indepe...
متن کاملAggregation and Non-Contradiction
This paper investigates the satisfaction of the Non-Contradiction Law (NC) within the domain of aggregation operators. It provides characterizations both for those aggregation operators that satisfy NC with respect to (w.r.t.) some given strong negation, as well as for those satisfying the law w.r.t. any strong negation. The results obtained are applied to some of the most important known class...
متن کاملConsequentialist Decision Theory and Utilitarian Ethics
Suppose that a social behaviour norm specifies ethical decisions at all decision nodes of every finite decision tree whose terminal nodes have consequences in a given domain. Suppose too that behaviour is both consistent in subtrees and continuous as probabilities vary. Suppose that the social consequence domain consists of profiles of individual consequences defined broadly enough so that only...
متن کاملConsequentialist Foundations for Expected Utility
Behaviour norms are considered for decision trees which allow both objective probabilities and uncertain states of the world with unknown probabilities. Terminal nodes have consequences in a given domain. Behaviour is required to be consistent in subtrees. Consequentialist behaviour, by definition, reveals a consequence choice function independent of the structure of the decision tree. It impli...
