Partiality, Modality, and Nonmonotonicity

Partiality, Modality, and Nonmonotonicity

Patrick A. Doherty

Centre for the Study of Language Information
1996
pokkari
This edited volume of articles provides a state-of-the-art description of research in logic-based approaches to knowledge representation which combines approaches to reasoning with incomplete information that include partial, modal, and nonmonotonic logics. The collection contains two parts: foundations and case studies. The foundations section provides a general overview of partiality, multi-valued logics, use of modal logic to model partiality and resource-limited inference, and an integration of partial and modal logics. The case studies section provides specific studies of issues raised in the foundations section. Several of the case studies integrate modal and partial modal logics with nonmonotonic logics. Both theoretical and practical aspects of such integration are considered. Knowledge representation issues such as default reasoning, theories of action and change, reason maintenance, awareness, and automation of nonmonotonic reasoning are covered.

Electronic Checklists on Multi-Purpose Displays: A Better Way for Fighter Pilots to Manage Information and Situational Awareness During Periods of Hig

After accumulating mishap data from the 1990's, accident investigations are revealing that pilot error causes approximately 80% of aviation mishaps. But, apply a bit more aggressive critical analysis into the type of human errors occurring highlight the fact that task saturation, lack of situational awareness, and checklist errors are the leading factors. Although 'stick and rudder' errors still occur due to poor piloting skills or deficiencies in training, the majority of the human errors are linked to the pilot's mental abilities. Current USAF fighters are pushing the limit of the pilot's ability to collect and comprehend enormous amounts of information. The cumulative effects of these technologies, which were intended to increase situational awareness and lethality, are in actuality responsible for the loss of situational awareness due to task saturation. The focus of this research will be on pilots' mental abilities and identifying known limitations within the cognitive process. But, innovative information technologies and other ergonomic efforts within the cockpit will also be looked at because it is impossible to look at the cognitive perspective in isolation. We must also look at the interaction the mind has with physical characteristics of a fighter aircraft. Renovating the vehicle in which the checklist information is communicated to pilots could be a potential solution to fight task saturation, susceptibility to spatial disorientation and overall mental errors in today's cockpit. The fundamental conclusion resulting from this research is electronic checklists and data-based information banks can optimize pilot workload, situation awareness, and improve overall air combat performance by taking advantage of new information storage capabilities. The ultimate goal is to integrate this information into the "glass cockpit" seamlessly without increasing pilot workload resulting in decreased pilot errors.

Prince Patrick A Memoir

Prince Patrick A Memoir

"Prince Patrick" was a nick name given to me as a child by my family and parent's friends that reflected my attitude and desire to be treated in a manner befitting a little prince. A sign of endearment to humor my natural, idiosyncratic demeanor. I actually never thought of myself as royalty, rather, that I was "special," destined for greatness or to be famous, and should be treated as an incubating celebrity. But just how was I going to become a figure in history? A doctor or scientist that discovered a cure to a hideous disease or condition? An actor/artist that was going to define my generation? Or would I become infamous? Whereas, my innocent "hijinks" would lead to other more serious acts that would get me recognized for the wrong reasons. These stories of my eccentric exploits, told time and time again at family gatherings, have made both family and friends smile, giggle and laugh hysterically, with the words "no he did not" uttered more than once.

Reading with Patrick: A Teacher, a Student, and a Life-Changing Friendship

Reading with Patrick: A Teacher, a Student, and a Life-Changing Friendship

"In all of the literature addressing education, race, poverty, and criminal justice, there has been nothing quite like Reading with Patrick."--The Atlantic A memoir of the life-changing friendship between an idealistic young teacher and her gifted student, jailed for murder in the Mississippi Delta FINALIST FOR THE DAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE Recently graduated from Harvard University, Michelle Kuo arrived in the rural town of Helena, Arkansas, as a Teach for America volunteer, bursting with optimism and drive. But she soon encountered the jarring realities of life in one of the poorest counties in America, still disabled by the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. In this stirring memoir, Kuo, the child of Taiwanese immigrants, shares the story of her complicated but rewarding mentorship of one student, Patrick Browning, and his remarkable literary and personal awakening. Convinced she can make a difference in the lives of her teenaged students, Michelle Kuo puts her heart into her work, using quiet reading time and guided writing to foster a sense of self in students left behind by a broken school system. Though Michelle loses some students to truancy and even gun violence, she is inspired by some such as Patrick. Fifteen and in the eighth grade, Patrick begins to thrive under Michelle's exacting attention. However, after two years of teaching, Michelle feels pressure from her parents and the draw of opportunities outside the Delta and leaves Arkansas to attend law school. Then, on the eve of her law-school graduation, Michelle learns that Patrick has been jailed for murder. Feeling that she left the Delta prematurely and determined to fix her mistake, Michelle returns to Helena and resumes Patrick's education--even as he sits in a jail cell awaiting trial. Every day for the next seven months they pore over classic novels, poems, and works of history. Little by little, Patrick grows into a confident, expressive writer and a dedicated reader galvanized by the works of Frederick Douglass, James Baldwin, Walt Whitman, W. S. Merwin, and others. In her time reading with Patrick, Michelle is herself transformed, contending with the legacy of racism and the questions of what constitutes a "good" life and what the privileged owe to those with bleaker prospects. "A powerful meditation on how one person can affect the life of another . . . One of the great strengths of Reading with Patrick is its portrayal of the risk inherent to teaching."--The Seattle Times " A] tender memoir."--O: The Oprah Magazine
