We proffer the thesis that, in the process of defeating an inference on the basis of a factual truth that falsifies it, people move from a hypothetical truth-value to a factual truth-value of the conclusion. We will present evidence that shows (a) that some people spontaneously make a truth assumption and constrain their inferences to logically valid inferences, (b) that people tend to abandon ...

The purpose of this work is to quantify the symmetry in human actions, which is a common objective in medical research. To this end, a novel non-intrusive method for quantifying action symmetry in the frequency domain is proposed. Reflectional symmetry is estimated over time and a new metric is proposed based on dynamic symmetry warping distance. The proposed method can be utilised to provide q...

Conditionals play crucial roles in human reasoning. They represent rules, causal relationship, and explicit inference. Psychology of reasoning, from its inception, has been studying how humans use and understand conditionals. One prominent feature of humans’ conditionals is that it does not follow the pattern of the standard model of conditionals. In classical logic, the corresponding connectiv...

Abstract The right to the truth about gross human rights violations is gradually becoming more firmly entrenched in international law. However, content and contours of are not without controversy. Some most pressing issues that have arisen extent society’s truth, scope it pursues (fact-finding or broader historical truth) relationship between seeking official acknowledgment. This article turns ...

Search by keyword is an extremely popular method for retrieving music. To support this, novel algorithms that automatically tag music are being developed. The conventional way to evaluate audio tagging algorithms is to compute measures of agreement between the output and the ground truth set. In this work, we introduce a new method for evaluating audio tagging algorithms on a large scale by col...

This discussion aims to provide the occasional medical expert witness with background knowledge of the adversarial court system and the role of the medical expert witness within it. The parallel evolution of the adversarial and inquisitorial legal systems has been more out of tradition rather than any systematic review of the effectiveness of one system or the other. Both legal systems have the...

Computer science, and AI along with it, has moved solidly out of the realm of thought problems and into an empirical science. However, many of the methods we use predate this fundamental shift, including the...
