Modelling State in Mind and Machine
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses and illustrates the application of Empirical Modelling (EM), as developed by the author and his collaborators, to computer programming. The discussion centres on the perspective EM gives on procedural and experiential vs. declarative and logical approaches to knowledge representation. The illustration focuses on demonstrating the potential for pedagogical use of EM in teaching algorithms. It is based on a family of practical models that have been developed to teach the principles of heapsort.

Modelling and Simulation of Low-Head Hydro Turbine for Small Signal Stability Analysis in Power System
The hydro turbine dynamics have a considerable influence on the dynamic stability of power system. In the study of dynamic stability, the system is modeled by the linear differential equations (small signal analysis). Small signal stability of power systems is needed in all conditions and only is dependent on the conditions of power system performance before commotion occurrence. This paper pr...
متن کاملEnergy Efficiency Analyses of Toolpaths in a Pocket Milling Process
This paper presents an approach to analytically determine the most energy efficient toolpath strategy in mechanical machining. This was achieved by evaluating the electrical energy requirement of the NC codes generated for the zag, zigzag, and rectangular contour toolpath strategies. The analytical method was validated by performing pocket milling on AISI 1018 steel with the considered toolpath...
متن کاملRelevance vector machine and multivariate adaptive regression spline for modelling ultimate capacity of pile foundation
This study examines the capability of the Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS) for prediction of ultimate capacity of driven piles and drilled shafts. RVM is a sparse method for training generalized linear models, while MARS technique is basically an adaptive piece-wise regression approach. In this paper, pile capacity prediction models are developed...
متن کاملComputational Modelling vs. Computational Explanation: Is Everything a Turing Machine, and Does It Matter to the Philosophy of Mind?
According to pancomputationalism, everything is a computing system. In this paper, I distinguish between different varieties of pancomputationalism. I find that although some varieties are more plausible than others, only the strongest variety is relevant to the philosophy of mind, but only the most trivial varieties are true. As a side effect of this exercise, I offer a clarified distinction b...
متن کاملModelling and Decision-making on Deteriorating Production Systems using Stochastic Dynamic Programming Approach
This study aimed at presenting a method for formulating optimal production, repair and replacement policies. The system was based on the production rate of defective parts and machine repairs and then was set up to optimize maintenance activities and related costs. The machine is either repaired or replaced. The machine is changed completely in the replacement process, but the productio...
