introduction: programs must demonstrate that their residents are taught and assessed in professionalism. most programs struggle with finding viable ways to teach and assess this critical competency. uthscsa family and community medicine residency developed an innovative option for interactive learning and assessment of residents in this competency which would be transferrable to other programs ...

Though many of the current symbolic problem solvers have attempted to combat "brittleness" with learning procedures, here at the Computing Research Laboratory (CRL) an alternative approach has been developed based on achieving symbolic plasticity through model generation. This paper describes the evolutionary-Model Generative Reasoning (e-MGR) architecture that implements this approach, and dis...
