We demonstrate a contradiction of quantum mechanics with local hidden variable theories for continuous quadrature phase amplitude ~‘‘position’’ and ‘‘momentum’’! measurements. A contradiction is shown possible for two quantum states: a pair-coherent state, and a superpositions of two coherent states, where the superposition state has been squeezed by the action of a two-mode squeezing operator....

The goals of this paper are two-fold: I wish to clarify the Aristotelian conception of the law of non-contradiction as a metaphysical rather than a semantic or logical principle, and to defend the truth of the principle in this sense. First I will explain what it in fact means that the law of non-contradiction is a metaphysical principle. The core idea is that the law of non-contradiction is a ...

We apply to normal logic programs with integrity rules a contradiction removal approach, and use it to uniformly treat diagnosis and debugging, and as a matter of fact envisage programs as artifacts and fault-nding as debugging. Our originality resides in applying to such programs the principle that if an assumption leads to contradiction then it should be revised: assumptions are not A literal...

Text is most used means for information exchange in today’s web dominated world. Text Mining also known as text data mining, an equivalent of text analytic, means the process of retrieving high quality information from text. Statistical pattern learning helps to devise patterns and trends through which high quality information is derived. Text mining accomplishes the task of structuring the inp...

In this paper we propose a two-stage method to acquire contradiction relations between typed lexico-syntactic patterns such as Xdrug prevents Ydisease and Ydisease caused by Xdrug . In the first stage, we train an SVM classifier to detect contradiction pattern pairs in a large web archive by exploiting the excitation polarity (Hashimoto et al., 2012) of the patterns. In the second stage, we enl...

We present a novel and uniform technique for normal logic program declarative error diagnosis. We lay down the foundations on a general approach to diagnosis using logic programming, and bring out the close relationship between debugging and fault{{nding. Diagnostic debugging can be enacted by contradiction removal methods. It relies on a simple program transformation to provide a contradiction...
