Some Assumptions about Problem Solving Representation in Turing's Model of Intelligence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Turing machines as a model of intelligence can be motivated by some assumptions, both mathematical and philosophical. Some of these are about the possibility, the necessity, and the limits of representing problem solving by mechanical means. The assumptions about representation that we consider in this paper are related to information representability and availability, processing as solving, non-essentiality of complexity issues, and niteness, discreteness and sequentiality of the representation. We discuss these assumptions and particularly what might happen if they were to be rejected or weakened. Tinkering with these assumptions sheds light on the import of alternative computational models. keywords: Turing machines, intelligence, problem solving, representation, computational models.

The main goal of this paper is to present a new day-ahead energy acquisition model for a distribution company (Disco) in a competitive electricity market environment with Interruptible Load (IL). The work formulates the Disco energy acquisition model as a bi-level optimization problem with some of real issues, and then studies and designs a Genetic Algorithm (GA) of this optimization problem to...
متن کاملThe chess example in Turing's Mind paper is really about ambiguity
In his paper Computing machinery and intelligence, Turing introduces a rather trivial chess problem as a conversation piece in an example Turing test. The example is about much more than computers playing chess: it has a hidden message that is about resolving ambiguity and knowledge representation, probably inserted by Turing as an Easter egg for us to find.

متن کاملDynamic Assessment( DA) and Evaluation of Problem-solving Skills in Childeren
Introduction: The term dynamic assessment (DA) refers to an assessment, by an active teaching process, of a child's perception, learning, thinking, and problem solving. The process is aimed at modifying an individual's cognitive functioning and observing subsequent changes in learning and problem-solving patterns within the testing situation. DA has been advocated as an alternative and/or sup...
