Automatic Formation

Обоснована целесообразность разработки инструментальных средств автоматического формирования суждений как одного из мыслительных актов понятийного мышления интеллектуальных мобильных систем различного назначения. Применение таких средств вывода суждений позволяет сформировать недостающие для принятия решений знания в процессе планирования целенаправленного поведения в априори неописанных условиях проблемной среды. Для решения данной проблемы в качестве исходных элементов представления знаний использованы условно – зависимые предикаты обеспечивающие возможность вывода как простых, так и сложных суждений определяющих различные закономерности целенаправленного преобразования текущих условий функционирования. Разработаны инструменты позволяющие формировать сложные суждения из простых суждений, полученных путем означивания переменных сорта «объекты» и «отношения» условно зависимых предикатов объектами, находящимися в проблемной среде и оценками отношений, которые наблюдаются в ней между данными объектами. В качестве примера показывающего эффективность использования предложенных инструментальных средств получения новых недостающих для вывода решений знаний, построен алгоритм планирования целенаправленного поведения автономного мобильного подводного робота обеспечивающий ему возможность выполнять достаточно сложные задания, связанные с поиском различных объектов, обладающих определенными свойствами и их перевозкой в заданную точку проблемной среды. The expediency of developing tools for automatic formation of judgments as one of the mental acts of conceptual thinking of intelligent mobile systems for various purposes has been substantiated. The use of such means of inference makes it possible to form the knowledge that is missing for decision-making in the process of planning purposeful behavior in a priori undescribed conditions of a problematic environment. To solve this problem, conditionally dependent predicates were used as the initial elements of knowledge representation, providing the ability to derive both simple and complex judgments that determine various patterns of purposeful transformation of the current conditions of functioning. Tools have been developed that allow to form complex judgments from simple judgments obtained by designating variables of the sort "objects" and "relations" of conditionally dependent predicates by objects located in a problematic environment and estimates of relations that are observed in it between these objects. As an example showing the effectiveness of using the proposed tools for obtaining new knowledge that is missing for the conclusion of solutions, an algorithm for planning the purposeful behavior of an autonomous mobile underwater robot has been built, which provides it with the ability to perform rather complex tasks related to the search for various objects with certain properties and their transportation to a given point of the problem Wednesday.

Показано, что известные модели представления и обработки знаний не позволяют построить интеллектуальный решатель задач автономных мобильных интеллектуальных агентов, способных выполнять сложные задания в априори неописанных нестабильных условиях проблемной среды. Для решения данной актуальной проблемы в статье предлагаются типовые конструкции модели представления знаний безотносительно к конкретной предметной области, строящиеся на основе полипеременных условно-зависимых предикатов. Приведена структура данного вида предикатов и определены условия, при выполнении которых, в результате означивания входящих в них различного сорта переменных, получаются истинные высказывания, характеризующие необходимые условия для достижения стоящих подцелей и целей поведения в текущей ситуации нестабильной проблемной среды. Разработаны различные по назначению типовые элементы модели представления знаний автономных интеллектуальных агентов, позволяющие формировать на их основе различные по сложности программы целенаправленной деятельности связанные с выполнением сформулированного им задания. Отмечено, что дальнейшее развитие полученных в настоящей работе результатов связано с формализацией мыслительных актов и разработкой инструментальных средств обработки знаний для построения алгоритмов автоматического планирования целенаправленного поведения автономных мобильных интеллектуальных агентов в нестабильных недоопределенных условиях функционирования. It is shown that the known models of knowledge representation and processing do not allow constructing an intelligent problem solver for autonomous mobile intelligent agents capable of performing complex tasks in a priori undescribed unstable conditions of a problematic environment. To solve this topical problem, the article proposes standard constructions of a knowledge representation model, without reference to a specific subject area, based on polyvariable conditionally dependent predicates. The structure of this type of predicates is given and the conditions are determined under which, as a result of the valuation of variables included in them, true statements are obtained that characterize the necessary conditions for achieving behavioral sub goals and goals in the current situation of an unstable problematic environment. The standard and different in purpose elements of knowledge representation model for autonomous intelligent agents have been developed, which make it possible to form programs of purposeful activity of different complexity associated with the implementation of the formulated task. It is noted that further development of the results obtained in this work is associated with the formalization of mental acts and the development of knowledge processing tools for constructing automatic planning algorithms of the purposeful behavior of autonomous mobile intelligent agents in unstable underdetermined conditions.

Introduction: We discuss the modern ways of developing intelligent problem solvers, focusing on their shortcomings in terms of the efficiency of their application for planning purposeful behavior of autonomous mobile intelligent systems in a priori undescribed conditions of a problem environment. Purpose: Developing a model of knowledge representation and processing which would provide the ways to organize purposeful activity of autonomous intelligent mobile systems in uncertain environment. Methods: Synthesis of frame-like behavior scenarios in the form of polyvariable conditionally dependent predicates whose structure includes complex variables as well as related variables of types “object”, “event” and “relationship”; synthesis of heuristic rules for knowledge representation in the process of purposeful behavior planning. In order to represent complex variables in polyvariable conditionally dependent predicates, fuzzy semantic networks are used which can represent knowledge of variously purposed intelligent systems without regard to particular knowledge domains, being adaptable to a priori undescribed operational conditions. Results: We have proposed a structure of various polyvariable conditionally dependent predicates. On their base, an autonomous intelligent mobile system can organize various activities in a priori undescribed and unstable problem environments. Specially developed knowledge processing tools allow such a system to automatically plan its purposeful behavior in a space of subtasks during the fulfilment of tasks formulated for it. Practical relevance: The obtained results can be efficiently used in building intelligent problem solvers for autonomous intelligent mobile systems of various purpose, capable of performing complex tasks in a priori undescribed operational conditions.

This article advocates that research is lacking on the connection between leadership theory and social network theory. To date, little empirical research has been conducted on leadership and social networks. Thus, the proposition of this article goes beyond traditional leadership models to advocate for a fuller and more integrative focus that is multilevel, multi-component and interdisciplinary, while recognizing that leadership is a complex function of both the organisational leaders and the followers who perform tasks, all of which subsequently leads to decision making qualities. Indeed, the current leadership model focuses on leadership behaviour and the ability to gain followers mutuality, to achieve decision making quality involving the integration of leadership and social network theories. Given the apparent mutable palette of contemporary leadership theory, this emergent construct of the leadership paradigm can expand the poles of the leadership continuum and contribute to a richer and deeper understanding of the relationships and responsibilities of leaders and followers as they relate to decision making qualities. This new construct, which is termed prophetic leadership, explores the literature of the life experiences of the prophet in the ‘Abrahamic Faith’ religion. Drawing on a priori links between the personality trait and spiritual leadership that has recently garnered the interest of scholars, the present study asserts a normative leadership theory that links the personal quality of a leader, posture and principal (based on the Prophet’s leadership behaviour) to synergy and decision making quality. Altruism is proposed to enhance relationships between leadership behaviour and decision making quality. For future research, much work needs to be done specifically aiming to (a) achieve greater clarity of construct definitions, (b) address measurement issues, and (c) avoid construct redundancy.

AbstractInformation can be public among a group. Whether or not information is public matters, for example, for accounts of interdependent rational choice, of communication, and of joint intention. A standard analysis of public information identifies it with (some variant of) common belief. The latter notion is stipulatively defined as an infinite conjunction: for p to be commonly believed is for it to believed by all members of a group, for all members to believe that all members believe it, and so forth. This analysis is often presupposed without much argument in philosophy. Theoretical entrenchment or intuitions about cases might give some traction on the question, but give little insight about why the identification holds, if it does. The strategy of this paper is to characterize a practical-normative role for information being public, and show that the only things that play that role are (variants of) common belief as stipulatively characterized. In more detail: a functional role for “taking a proposition for granted” in non-isolated decision making is characterized. I then present some minimal conditions under which such an attitude is correctly held. The key assumption links this attitude to beliefs about what is public. From minimal a priori principles, we can argue that a proposition being public among a group entails common commitment to believe among that group. Later sections explore partial converses to this result, the factivity of publicity and publicity from the perspective of outsiders to the group, and objections to the aprioricity of the result deriving from a posteriori existential presuppositions.

Abstract Background Adolescent HIV and pregnancy rates in Southern Africa are amongst the highest in the world. Despite decades of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programming targeting adolescents, recent trends suggest there is a continued need for interventions targeting condom use for this age group. Methods This review synthesises evidence from qualitative studies that describe the determinants of condom use among adolescents in Southern Africa. We conducted systematic searches in four databases. Data were extracted, appraised for quality and analysed using a ‘best-fit’ framework synthesis approach. Results We coded deductively findings from 23 original studies using an a priori framework and subsequently conducted thematic analysis. Synthesised findings produced six key themes relating to: 1) pervasive unequal gender norms and restrictive masculinities favouring male sexual decision-making and stigmatising condom use in committed relationships; 2) other social norms reflecting negative constructions of adolescent sexuality and non-traditional family planning; 3) economic and political barriers including poverty and a lack of policy support for condom use; 4) service-level barriers including a lack of youth-friendly SRH services and comprehensive sex education in schools; 5) interpersonal barriers and facilitators including unequal power dynamics in sexual partnerships, peer influences and encouraging condoning condom use, and inadequate communication about SRH from parents/caregivers; and 6) negative attitudes and beliefs about condoms and condom use among adolescents. A conceptual model was generated to describe determinants of condom use, illustrating individual-, interpersonal- and structural-level barriers and facilitating factors. Conclusion SRH programming targeting barriers and facilitators of condom use at multiple levels is recommended in Southern Africa. We present a multilevel integrated model of barriers and facilitators to guide adolescent SRH decision-making, programme planning and evaluation. Given the existence of multilevel barriers and facilitators, interventions should, likewise, take a multilevel approach that incorporates locally relevant understanding of the individual-, interpersonal- and structural-level barriers and facilitators to condom use among adolescents in the region.

We formulate the basic principles of constructing a sign-signal control for the expedient behavior of autonomous intelligent agents in a priori undescribed conditions of a problematic environment. We clarify the concept of a self-organizing autonomous intelligent agent as a system capable of automatic goal-setting when a certain type of conditional and unconditional signal — signs appears in a problem environment. The procedures for planning the expedient behavior of autonomous intelligent agents have been developed, that imitate trial actions under uncertainty in the process of studying the regularities of transforming situations in a problem environment, which allows avoiding environmental changes in the process of self-learning that are not related to the achievement of a given goal. Boundary estimates of the proposed procedures complexity for planning expedient behavior are determined, confirming the possibility of their effective implementation on the on-board computer of the automatic control system for the expedient activity of autonomous intelligent agents. We carry out an imitation on a personal computer of the proposed procedures for planning purposeful behavior, confirming the effectiveness of their use to build intelligent problem solvers for autonomous intelligent agents in order to endow them with the ability to adapt to a priori undescribed operating conditions. The main types of connections between various conditional and unconditional signal — signs of a problem environment are structured, which allows autonomous intelligent agents to adapt to complex a priori undescribed and unstable conditions of functioning.
