Parity: The Problem that Won't Go Away

It is well-known that certain learning methods (e.g., the per-ceptron learning algorithm) cannot acquire complete, parity mappings. But it is often overlooked that state-of-the-art learning methods such as C4.5 and backpropagation cannot generalise from incomplete parity mappings. The failure of such methods to generalise on parity mappings may be sometimes dismissed on the grounds that it isìm...

Non communicable diseases and infections refuse to go away despite current knowledge and scientific advances.

African Health Sciences for 2014. We bring you papers on non-communicable diseases, infections, herbal medicine, reproductive health and medical education. The paper by Adisa and Fakeye1, introduces us to an interesting component of patient management in type 2 diabetes, that is, adherence to the medication. More than 75% of the patients were not aware of the indication for the prescribed medic...

Provably Spurious Qualitative Simulation Predictions That Just Won’t Go Away

It is known that sound and complete qualitative simulators do not exist; that is, there exist inputs which lead to ineradicable spurious behaviors, proving whose inconsistency is an undecidable task, and thus any sound qualitative simulator has to include them in its output. In this paper, we ask whether the next best thing, that is, a single sound qualitative simulator which detects and elimin...
