There are two main issues I want to address in this response to Peter Cheeseman's \An inquiry into computer understanding" (hereafter, abbreviated as Inquiry) and \In defense of`An inquiry into computer understand-ing' " (hereafter, abbreviated as Defense): (1) the \right" approach to reasoning about uncertainty and (2) the relationship between logic and probability. 1 Cheeseman's positions on ...

We collect together here the concepts and results which we will need in the sequel; details and proofs are to be found in [HP 1, 2]. Let X1, X2, · · · , Xk be independently distributed random integer variables such that Xj takes values in the range 1 ≤ Xj ≤ nj with equal likelihood. Let m be a fixed but arbitrary modulus. We refer to (n1, n2, · · · , nk;m), abbreviated to (n, k;m), as a system....

His bundle recordings obtained in a patient with progressive shortening of the PR interval observed during and after acute diaphragmatic myocardial infarction showed abbreviated AH and HV intervals. Though atrial pacing at rapid rates produced prolongation of the AH interval, this was not as great as is seen in normal subjects and the abbreviated HV interval remained unchanged. The results of H...

The proposed approach deals with the detection of jargon words in electronic data in different communication mediums like internet, mobile services etc. But in the real life, the jargon words are not used in complete word forms always. Most of the times, those words are used in different abbreviated forms like sounds alike forms, taboo morphemes etc. This proposed approach detects those abbrevi...

In this paper, we described our method for the expert search task in TREC 2008. First, we proposed an adaption to the language modeling method for expert search, which considers the probability of query generation separately using each kind of expert evidence (full name, abbreviated name, and email address). Current expert search models can be easily integrated into our method. Our experiments ...

Oxovanadium(IV), manganese(II) and copper(II) complexes of a Schiff base ligand derived from 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone and 1,2-diaminocyclohexane have been encapsulated in the nanocavity of zeolite-Y by flexible ligand method and characterized by metal analysis, IR spectroscopic studies and X-ray diffraction patterns. The encapsulated complexes abbreviated here as CuL-Y, MnL-Y and VOL-Y catalyz...

interaction of meso — tetrakis (p-sulphonato phenyl) porphyrin (hereafter abbreviated to tspp)with na+ has been examined using hf level of theory with 6-31g* basis set. counterpoise (cp)correction has been used to show the extent of the basis set superposition error (bsse) on thepotential energy curves. the numbers of na+ have a significant effect on the calculated potentialenergy curve (includ...
