Ensuring Data Readiness for Quality Requirements with Help from Procedure Reuse
ACM JOURNAL OF DATA AND INFORMATION QUALITY, 13(3).
author keywords: Data and information quality; data integration in Big Data; data cleaning in Big Data; Big Data quality and analytics; Big Data quality in business process; Big Data quality management processes, frameworks and models
TL;DR:
This research presents a meta-modelling architecture that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and therefore expensive process of manually cataloging and cataloging data in order to assess and improve the quality of data.

Poster: Towards Greater Expressiveness, Flexibility, and Uniformity in Access Control
SACMAT'18: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 23RD ACM SYMPOSIUM ON ACCESS CONTROL MODELS & TECHNOLOGIES, pp. 217–219.
Contributors: J. Jiang n, R. Chirkova n, n & A. Rosenthal *
author keywords: Attribute-based access control; security; policy formalism; logical models
TL;DR:
This work proposes to recasting the high-level structure of ABAC models in a logical formalism that treats all actions uniformly and that keeps existing policy languages in place by interpreting their attributes in terms of the restructured model.

author keywords: Multi-agent systems; Plan recognition
TL;DR:
D discrete Multi-agent Plan Recognition as Planning is described, which extends Ramirez and Geffner’s Plan recognition as Planning approach to multi-agent domains and uses the planning domain and synthesizes plans to achieve hypothesized goals with additional constraints for suspected team composition and previous observations.

An investigation of gene-gene interactions in dose-response studies with Bayesian nonparametrics
BioData Mining, 8(1).
Contributors: A. Beam, A. Motsinger-Reif n & n
author keywords: Dose-response; Epistasis; Bayesian nonparametric; Neural network; Machine learning
TL;DR:
It is shown that MANOVA and the Bayesian nonparametric approach show good ability to detect trait-associated genetic variants under various possible genetic models, and may be due to marginal effects being present, even if the underlying genetic model does not explicitly contain them.

This work provides a relative interpretation of goals as qualitative statements about preferability, and develops a propositional logic of relative desire suitable for formalizing properties of planning and problem-solving methods.

Impediments to universal preference-based default theories
Artificial Intelligence, 49(1-3), 97–128.
TL;DR:
It is shown that the different categories of preferences conflict more than has been realized, and formal results from social choice theory are adapted to prove that every universal theory of default reasoning will violate at least one reasonable principle of rational reasoning.

Markov analysis of qualitative dynamics
Computational Intell, 7(1), 1–10.
Contributors: * & E. Sacks *
TL;DR:
Methods of qualitative reasoning are extended to predict the relative likelihoods of possible qualitative behaviors by viewing the dynamics of a system as a Markov chain over its transition graph by adding qualitative or quantitative estimates of transition probabilities to each of the transitions.

Rational control of reasoning in artificial intelligence
The Logic of Theory Change, pp. 19–48.
TL;DR:
It is shown how some of the means by which artificial reasoners tolerate and even exploit limitations in carrying out basic cognitive tasks may all be viewed as species of rationally guided or controlled reasoning, or more generally, as forms of rational self-government.

Two theses of knowledge representation: Language restrictions, taxonomic classification, and the utility of representation services
Artificial Intelligence, 48(3), 261–297.
TL;DR:
It is argued that logical soundness, completeness, and worst-case complexity are inadequate measures for evaluating the utility of representation services, and that this evaluation should employ the broader notions of utility and rationality found in decision theory.

TL;DR:
It is argued that a more illuminating view is that belief is the result of rational representation, and in this theory, the agent obtains its constructive beliefs by using its manifest beliefs and preferences to rationally choose the most useful conclusions indicated by the manifest beliefs.

TL;DR:
In summary, McDermott’s critique of nonmonotonic logic is myopic, and it may be the case that nonMonotonic inference does not help the logicist position, but McDermott has not made this case.

A model for deliberation, action, and introspection

TL;DR:
This thesis investigates the problem of controlling or directing the reasoning and actions of a computer program to view reasoning as a species of action, so that a program might apply its reasoning powers to the task of deciding what inferences to make as well as to deciding what other actions to take.

Linear expected time of a simple union-find algorithm

This paper presents an analysis of a simple tree-structured disjoint set Union-Find algorithm, and shows that this algorithm requires between n and 2n steps on the average to execute a sequence of n Union and Find instructions, assuming that each pair of existing classes is equally likely to be merged by a Union instruction.
