Verifiability of Argumentation Semantics
cs.AI
Dung's abstract argumentation theory is a widely used formalism to model conflicting information and to draw conclusions in such situations. Hereby, the knowledge is represented by so-called argumentation frameworks (AFs) and the reasoning is done via semantics extracting acceptable sets. All reasonable semantics are b...

Distributing Knowledge into Simple Bases
cs.AI
Understanding the behavior of belief change operators for fragments of classical logic has received increasing interest over the last years. Results in this direction are mainly concerned with adapting representation theorems. However, fragment-driven belief change also leads to novel research questions. In this paper ...

A Survey of League Championship Algorithm: Prospects and Challenges
cs.AI
The League Championship Algorithm (LCA) is sport-inspired optimization algorithm that was introduced by Ali Husseinzadeh Kashan in the year 2009. It has since drawn enormous interest among the researchers because of its potential efficiency in solving many optimization problems and real-world applications. The LCA has ...

Coalition Formability Semantics with Conflict-Eliminable Sets of Arguments
cs.AI
We consider abstract-argumentation-theoretic coalition formability in this work. Taking a model from political alliance among political parties, we will contemplate profitability, and then formability, of a coalition. As is commonly understood, a group forms a coalition with another group for a greater good, the goodne...

A heuristic algorithm for a single vehicle static bike sharing rebalancing problem
cs.AI
The static bike rebalancing problem (SBRP) concerns the task of repositioning bikes among stations in self-service bike-sharing systems. This problem can be seen as a variant of the one-commodity pickup and delivery vehicle routing problem, where multiple visits are allowed to be performed at each station, i.e., the de...

A Step from Probabilistic Programming to Cognitive Architectures
cs.AI
Probabilistic programming is considered as a framework, in which basic components of cognitive architectures can be represented in unified and elegant fashion. At the same time, necessity of adopting some component of cognitive architectures for extending capabilities of probabilistic programming languages is pointed o...

ODE - Augmented Training Improves Anomaly Detection in Sensor Data from Machines
cs.AI
Machines of all kinds from vehicles to industrial equipment are increasingly instrumented with hundreds of sensors. Using such data to detect anomalous behaviour is critical for safety and efficient maintenance. However, anomalies occur rarely and with great variety in such systems, so there is often insufficient anoma...

Brain Emotional Learning-Based Prediction Model (For Long-Term Chaotic Prediction Applications)
cs.AI
This study suggests a new prediction model for chaotic time series inspired by the brain emotional learning of mammals. We describe the structure and function of this model, which is referred to as BELPM (Brain Emotional Learning-Based Prediction Model). Structurally, the model mimics the connection between the regions...

Belief Merging by Source Reliability Assessment
cs.AI
Merging beliefs requires the plausibility of the sources of the information to be merged. They are typically assumed equally reliable in lack of hints indicating otherwise; yet, a recent line of research spun from the idea of deriving this information from the revision process itself. In particular, the history of prev...

Asymmetric Move Selection Strategies in Monte-Carlo Tree Search: Minimizing the Simple Regret at Max Nodes
cs.AI
The combination of multi-armed bandit (MAB) algorithms with Monte-Carlo tree search (MCTS) has made a significant impact in various research fields. The UCT algorithm, which combines the UCB bandit algorithm with MCTS, is a good example of the success of this combination. The recent breakthrough made by AlphaGo, which ...

Unethical Research: How to Create a Malevolent Artificial Intelligence
cs.AI
Cybersecurity research involves publishing papers about malicious exploits as much as publishing information on how to design tools to protect cyber-infrastructure. It is this information exchange between ethical hackers and security experts, which results in a well-balanced cyber-ecosystem. In the blooming domain of A...

Function-Described Graphs for Structural Pattern Recognition
cs.AI
We present in this article the model Function-described graph (FDG), which is a type of compact representation of a set of attributed graphs (AGs) that borrow from Random Graphs the capability of probabilistic modelling of structural and attribute information. We define the FDGs, their features and two distance measure...
