JALDA, therefore, would like to show inclination towards the view that the reality of the world is not a fixed entity standing out there to be measured by our pre-fabricated ‘scientific’ instruments. In line with Haghshenas’ argumentation, not only can theories and instruments shrink to ornamental entities but also they can turn into what Karl Popper calls pseudo-science, knowledge of an ‘ideol...
متن کاملTowards Text Mining in Climate Science: Extraction of Quantitative Variables and their Relations
This paper addresses text mining in the cross-disciplinary fields of climate science, marine science and environmental science. It is motivated by the desire for literature-based knowledge discovery from scientific publications. The particular goal is to automatically extract relations between quantitative variables from raw text. This results in rules of the form “If variable X increases, than...
متن کاملAutomatic Identification of Quasi-Experimental Designs for Scientific Discovery
We briefly describe recent research on the automatic identification of quasi-experimental designs, a family of methods used in the medical, social, and economic sciences to discover causal knowledge from observational data. These methods are widely used for manual discovery, but recent advances in knowledge representation and databases have made it possible to automate aspects of their use. We ...
