First-order Decision-theoretic Planning in Structured Relational Environments Scott Patrick Sanner Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2008 We consider the general framework of first-order decision-theoretic planning in structured relational environments. Most traditional solution approaches to these planning problems ground the relational specific...

Abstract The generality problem is commonly considered to be a critical difficulty for reliabilism. In this paper, we present dynamical perspective on the in spirit of naturalized epistemology. According outlook, it worth investigating how token belief-forming processes instantiate specific types biological agent’s cognitive architecture (including other relevant embodied features) and backgrou...

This set of experiments is concerned with the specification of movement parameters hypothesized to be involved in the initiation of movement. Experiment 1 incorporated the precuing method developed by Rosenbaum in which a precue provided partial information of the upcoming movement before the stimulus to move. Under conditions in which precues were provided by letter symbols and stimuli were co...

State assignment problems still need satisfactory solutions to make asynchronous circuit synthesis more practical. A well-known example of such a problem is that of complete state coding (CSC), which happens when a pair of different states in a specification has the same binary encoding. A standard way to approach state coding conflicts is to insert new state signals into the original specifica...
