Exploratory Model Building
نویسنده
چکیده
Some instances of creative thinking require an agent to build and test hypothetical the ories. Such a reasoner needs to explore the space of not only those situations that have occurred in the past, but also those that are rationally conceivable. In this paper we present a formalism for exploring the space of conceivable situation-models for those do mains in which the knowledge is primarily probabilistic in nature. The formalism seeks to construct consistent, minimal , and desir able situation-descriptions by selecting suit able domain-attributes and dependency rela tionships from the available domain knowl

Identification of factors influencing building initial trust in e-commerce
Nowadays, consumer trust is identified as one of the most important factors in electronic commerce (e-commerce) growth. This has led much research to investigate the role of trust in e-commerce and determine the factors which influence trust in this area. This paper explores factors which are engaged in building initial consumer trust in online shopping when a consumer wants to buy from a websi...
متن کاملDesigning a Public-Private Partnership Model for Public Hospitals in Iran
Background and Objectives: Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a well-established model to alleviate the risk of investment in health domain. While the model is widely applied in the developed countries, the adoption of the model in many developing countries is hampered partly by the lack of knowledge on dimensions and requirements of its local implementation. The present study...
متن کاملA soft computing based method for detecting lifetime building thermal insulation failures
The detection of thermal insulation failures in buildings in operation responds to the challenge of improving building energy efficiency. This multidisciplinary study presents a novel four-step soft computing knowledge identification model called IKBIS to perform thermal insulation failure detection. It proposes the use of Exploratory Projection Pursuit methods to study the relation between inp...

متن کاملReclaiming the Secular: Developing Dialogic Skills for a Post-Secular Society
This research paper addresses secularization from both political and religious perspectives. One of its manifestations in the political sphere is that of globalization that can lead to alienation within society; and in the United Kingdom this is exemplified by Brexit. Within the religious sphere secularization is usually couched in oppositional terms. This paper reclaims the original use ...
متن کاملExploratory Analysis and Implications for Modeling
ions, usually aggregations, are fundamental in exploratory analysis. Finding suitable abstractions, relating them, and conducting both high-level exploratory analysis and appropriate zooming into detail are greatly facilitated if models are designed in a special way. This is the subject of multiresolution, multiperspective modeling (MRMPM). Although the subject relates most directly to new mode...
