On the Qualification Problem and Elaboration Tolerance
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study the qualification problem in theories of reasoning about actions and change and the link of this problem to properties of representation for expressing such theories. We examine the interaction of the qualification problem with the frame and ramification problems and show how an integrated solution to these problems can be developed where the frame persistence and constraint satisfaction qualify implicitly the action effect laws of the theory. We compare the two approaches of implicit and explicit qualification of the effects laws and argue that from the point of view of knowledge representation the former has better properties pertaining to elaboration tolerance.

Modular-E: an Elaboration Tolerant Approach to the Ramification and Qualification Problems
We describe Modular-E (ME), a specialized, model-theoretic logic for narrative reasoning about actions, able to represent non-deterministic domains involving concurrency, static laws (constraints) and indirect effects (ramifications). We give formal results which characterizeME ’s high degree of modularity and elaboration tolerance, and show how these properties help to separate out, and provid...
متن کاملKnowledge Qualification through Argumentation
We propose a framework that brings together two major forms of default reasoning in Artificial Intelligence: default property classification in static domains, and default property persistence in temporal domains. Emphasis in this work is placed on the qualification problem, central when dealing with default reasoning, and in any attempt to integrate different forms of such reasoning. Our frame...
متن کاملElaboration Tolerance
A formalism is elaboration tolerant to the extent that it is convenient to modify a set of facts expressed in the formalism to take into account new phenomena or changed circumstances. Representations of information in natural language have good elaboration tolerance when used with human background knowledge. Human-level AI will require representations with much more elaboration tolerance than ...

This study investigated the effect of using visual aids, semantic elaboration, and visual aids plus semantic elaboration on the Iranian EFL learners' vocabulary learning. To conduct the study, the researchers assigned 49 elementary learners to three homogeneous groups according to their proficiency level. Then, a pre-test of Paribakht and Wesche's Vocabulary Knowledge Scale was given to each gr...
متن کاملAdmissible transformation volume for part dimensional quality gauging
Coordinate metrology aims to answer two questions: whether a manufactured part meets design tolerance specifications and how well the manufactured part meets the specifications. Existing methods for analyzing measured coordinate data are not adequate or effective for parts of complex tolerance zones. This paper presents a new approach to dimensional qualification of manufactured parts. In this ...
