because it is formed not only by the body of the epigraph but also by the scholar, philosopher, or poet, and textual source from which it is taken. Like all citations, the epigraph creates an intertextuality and a dialogue with another author. The heuristic function of the epigraph may seem relatively simple when looking at a journal article that begins w...
performance to determine the ground truth. Besides this, author also tries to find the network communities in case of a single node. To achieve the task author applies spectral clustering along with heuristic parameter-free algorithm to detect the communities of the node. The advantage of this algorithm is that it is extremely scalable and can be applied to networks with millions of nodes. We have studied clustering in our lecture; here the clusters might overlap as a node can have relationships with
Between Logic and Heuristic* ABSTRACT: This article aims to construct a new type of logical calculi-logical heuristic calculus which contains the means of reducing complete search. Such a heuristic component of calculus is reached with the help of meta-level means. The principal means for reducing search is structural information about information about contrary literals of formula. There are two major approaches to studying the process of reasoning («problem-solving»). On one hand, it is

The originating feature of discontinuity falls victim to a kind of doctrinal amnesia. Paradoxes or contradictions can be heuristic and beneficial.

It is a criterion in line with those
mathematicians came from Egypt, where they discovered the rule for the volume of a pyramid and approximation of the area of a circle. Later, Greeks made tremendous discoveries. Archimedes extended the method of inscribed and circumscribed figures by means of heuristic, which are rules that are specific to a given problem and can therefore help guide the search. These arguments involved parallel slices of figures and the laws of the lever, the idea of a surface as made up of lines. Finding areas and volumes of
attained are not comparable to the energy expended. Lack of progress is often attributed to faulty policy formation and execution on the part of African leaders and governments. This essay attempts to shed light on the source of this problem. The heuristic principle I follow holds that the metaphysical preconditioning of consciousness leads us to approach sensory data in particular ways and, furthermore, influences both our formulation of problems and possible solutions. I note the lapses in African
student from the University of California at Berkeley named Kevin Deenihan, who recently took a vacation to his home in Jackson Hole with his family. The article was published in the only intentionally funny journal from UC Berkeley called, “The Heuristic Squelch”. Most students from UC Berkeley read the journal, but anyone can subscribe. It is also published on the web for those who don’t feel they need six issues every year. The purpose of the article is to inform people who have never been to Wyoming
“Cowards die many times before their death.” Macbeth displayed many noticeable characteristics throughout Shakespeare’s play Macbeth. He was courageous at times and cowardly at others. The most noticeable characteristic in my opinion was that Macbeth seemed very ambitious throughout the play. He also seems to be a moral coward as he depends on others more than himself to make decisions. All of these factors soon lead to his tragic death at the end of the play. At the beginning of Shakespeare’s play
beyond nature. (6) In this paper I wish to explicate J-F. Lyotard's reading of the Kantian sublime. There are lessons to be learned here, as the title of his recent work (1994), Lessons on the Analytic of the Sublime, suggests. Essentially, the heuristic function of the sublime is to expose reflective judgment (of which sublime feeling is a species) as the context in which the critical enterprise functions or as the "manner" in which critical thought situates its own a priori conditions.

love. Under the influence of environment we produce our behaviours. That is we find the best solutions for what we reoccupy from others and process information in our ways. Sometimes it is analytical that is we think logically, sometimes it is heuristic based on our instincts. The second one may be misleading, but very often there is no time to think. We are also able to learn and store information that draws our experience and prevents from making mistakes later on. Studying psychology-‘science
Area 51, also known as Homey Airport is a US Air Force base. It is located in nevada north of las vegas. It is also unknown what is kept inside because everything is top secret. However, it is most likely new aircrafts and technology for aircrafts. There is little information about the Air Force Base available so it is easy to spin any story one wishes to put online. Then one might look at the way many believe the conspiracy. One might also be interested to understand the process that goes through
To the programming community the algorithms described in this chapter and their methods are known as feature selection algorithms. This theoretical subject has been examined by researchers for decades and a large number of methods have been proposed. The terms attribute and feature are interchangeable and refer to the predictor values throughout this chapter, and for the remainder of the thesis. In this theoretical way of thinking, dimensionality reduction techniques are typically made up of two

The advantage of machine learning (ML) methods is that it uses mathematical models, heuristic learning, knowledge acquisitions and decision trees for decision making. Thus, it provides controllability, observability and stability. It updates easily by adding a new patient‘s record. The application of machine learning models on human disease

uncomputable nature of some human cognitive capabilities such as mathematical intuition. In what follows I intend to show that even if mathematical intuition were mechanizable (as part of a conception of mental activity understood as the realization of an algorithm) the Turing Machine model of the human mind becomes self-refuting. Our contention will start from the notion of transcomputability. Such a notion will allow us to draw a pathway between formal and physical limitations of symbol-based artificial
The Easy Decision of Choosing a President In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman goes to great lengths to explain the complex ways that humans think in the most simple and understandable fashion. Just as Kahneman’s title alludes, each person thinks in two distinct styles, one style is an automatic manner of thinking and the other is effortful, which he refers to as System 1 and System 2 throughout the book. Kahneman (2011) points out that when we perceive our own way of thinking “we identify
Mathematics has always been a necessary component in modern warfare. During the World War II era, mathematicians Alan Turing and John von Neumann were responsible for some of the technological and scientific developments which contributed Allied victory. After considering their accomplishments before the war, their contributions during the war, and how they were recognized after the war, you will see that each mathematician is remembered very differently for their contributions. Turing is barely
today like C, C++ and Java. Since when I was introduced to the world of computer programming, I could see the minute similarities between the languages and could translate almost any program from one to another. My extraordinary skill in writing algorithms helped me in working for a project titled ‘Hotel Management using C++’ during the event ‘Insight 2009’ which was conducted by Tata Consultancy Services. After the project, I wanted to extend my field of expertise beyond the world of programming
approaches to produce greater results with reduced resources (space, time). To answer the questions like Can something be efficient, yet small, easy and still perform herculean tasks. My area of interest is the study and contribution towards field of algorithms and optimized solutions. So I will undertake postgraduate study in Computer Science in Stony Brook University. To achieve this I plan to study the relevant disciplines which will enable me to accomplish what I desire. In my work experience and academics
Personal Statement MS in Computer Science, University of Illinois Being naturally intrigued about Computers, I pursued my undergraduate studies in Computer Science and Engineering at College of Engineering Trivandrum, University of Kerala, India. I intend to do my higher education in Computer Science and would like to get enrolled into the Masters Program at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign starting Fall ‘14. My Interest in science started in early childhood. I was fascinated by
