The aphorism “All models are wrong but some are useful” (Box, 1978) sums up much of what ML is about. The assumptions we make in the Naive Bayes approach to sentimanet classification are wrong, but this is true of the assumptions made in all current formal models of human language (statistical or otherwise), with the possible exception of a few which are very restricted indeed. However, the que...

background: neuropathic pain (np) is a serious suffering medical condition that frequently leads to disability and life style changes. although the exact mechanisms of np are still unknown, recently the role of reactive oxygen species (ros) reported as an important factor for np. apoptosis, increase of atp production and reduction of antioxidants are also the other factors influencing in np. th...

“All models are wrong but some are useful" [1]. We address the problem of identifying which diagnosis models are more useful than others. Models are critical to diagnostics inference, yet little work exists to be able to compare models. We define the role of models in diagnostics inference, propose metrics for models, and apply these metrics to a tank benchmark system. Given the many approaches...

Japan’s economic success has belied his hypothesis, and while there have been various theories explaining its rise, perhaps Weber’s own claims regarding the connection between embeddedness and capitalism best explain Japan’s rise. Simply put, Japanese capitalism was born...
