In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) research has showcased tremendous potential to positively impact humanity and society. Although AI frequently outperforms humans in tasks related classification pattern recognition, it continues face challenges when dealing with complex such as intuitive decision making, sense disambiguation, sarcasm detection, narrative understanding these require advanced kinds of reasoning, e.g., common-sense reasoning causal which have not been emulated...
Importance The DRCR Retina Network Protocol AC showed no significant difference in visual acuity outcomes over 2 years between treatment with aflibercept monotherapy and bevacizumab first switching to for suboptimal response treating diabetic macular edema (DME). Understanding the estimated cost cost-effectiveness of these approaches is important. Objective To evaluate vs bevacizumab-first strategies DME treatment. Design, Setting, Participants This economic evaluation was a preplanned...
Abstract How might we philosophize about the metaverse? It is traditionally held that four main branches of philosophy are metaphysics, epistemology, axiology, and logic. In this article, I shall demonstrate how virtual walt-fictionalism, a particular version irrealism, able to offer straightforward, internally consistent, powerful response axiology (ethics) metaverse. will first characterize metaverse in terms reality-virtuality (RV) continuum distinguish between realism before elaborating...
Abstract In this paper, I will identify two problems of trust in an AI-relevant context: a theoretical problem and practical one. address number skeptical challenges to theory trust. addition, what shall term the ‘scope challenge’, which take hold for any (or collection theories) that purports be representationally adequate multifarious forms AI. Thereafter, suggest how trust-engineering, position is intermediate between modified pure rational-choice account gives rise trustworthy AI, might...
We present first-principles calculations in the framework of density-functional theory and pseudopotential approach, aiming to model intermediate stages reduction NO presence MoO3(010). In particular, we study formation dinitrosyl, which proves be an important stage catalytic reduction. find that replacement oxygen MoO3 by is energetically favorable, system lowers further its energy (NO)2. Moreover, geometry charge distribution for adsorbed dinitrosyl indicates a metal-oxide mediated...
Abstract In this paper, two central questions will be addressed: ought we to implement medical AI technology in the domain? If yes, how technology? I critically engage with three options that exist respect these questions: Neo-Luddite option, Assistive and Substitutive option. first address key objections on behalf of option: Objection from Bias, Artificial Autonomy, Status Quo, Inscrutability. thereafter present Demographic Trends Argument Human Enhancement support alternatives second half...
This paper attempts to make more explicit the relationship between narrativity and feminist care ethics. The central concern is way in which carries semantic load that some accounts of ethics imply but leave hanging. In so doing, theorists care‐based then undervalue major contribution provides ethics: it essential best care. this article, I defend narrative as medium though we sense communicate our lives their attendant hopes cares. More than just working with cared‐for, caring about...
This article examines three exegetical approaches to Wittgenstein: the positivist approach, ineffability and resolute approach. After revealing defects inconsistencies of first two approaches, it adopts approach rejects possibility that a limit may be drawn between garden-variety nonsense important nonsense. It then proceeds outline Wittgensteinian ethics pertains imagination spirit. concludes with an excursus into literary ethics—which is this writer’s main area interest—and how might...
Abstract Could translation be fully automated? We must first acknowledge the complexity, ambiguity, and diversity of natural languages. These aspects languages, when combined with a particular dilemma known as computational dilemma, appear to imply that machine translator faces certain obstacles human has already managed overcome. At same time, science not yet solved problem how brains process languages beings come acquire language understanding. will then distinguish between task...
Abstract Singularitarianism is a view that grounded in certain claims about the technological singularity. In this paper, I identify trilemma confronts singularitarianism. This may be characterized terms of following horns: concept singularity having literal sense, metaphorical and neither nor sense (i.e., its being nonsensical). will outline unpalatable consequences are associated with each these three horns trilemma. also anticipate few argumentative moves on behalf singularitarianism...
In creative cognition research, the Romantic view about is traditionally rejected in favor of modern view. The maintains that creativity neither mysterious nor unintelligible and it indeed susceptible to analysis. paradigmatic objects analysis research have been output process. degree an assessed accordance with certain criterial definitions. a cognitive process models cognition, psychometric test measures, neuroimaging studies are grounded criteria for assessment. reliance on definitions...
This article begins by taking the paucity of good filmed versions Ibsen as an empirical fact or a given, it were. It then introduces Shakespeare premise, which proceeds to adopt valid. opens up possible conclusion that great film adaptations might arise from dramatic texts, possibility strengthened my second premise cinema and theatre constitute sister arts, particularly in Bazinian realm mixed cinema. At same time, allows me suspend immediate is impossible make Ibsen, suspension judgment...
ABSTRACT This paper attempts to provide a defence for narrative theory of the self in face criticisms from anti‐narrative camp. It begins by addressing certain uncontroversial premises that both pro‐ and camps might be thought agree on: status humans as homo significans or meaning‐makers, natural form‐finding tendency desiderata significance value we possess, raw material life its constituents proceed from. Whereas pro‐narrative camp seeks valid argument how undifferentiated experience these...
The long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis fascicularis) is a non-human primate species that native to Singapore. From mid-2020, the Nanyang Technological University campus witnessed sharp increase in number of human–macaque encounters. In this article, we will first identify set technological tools have developed guide decision- and policy-making on wildlife management front mitigate conflict. Thereafter, describe how applied these activity log cataloguing offer an analysis trends...
Given the contemporary trend in favour of austerer ontological commitments, it would appear that Buddhism as a religion have renewed relevance debate concerning what exists. In follows, I will argue anti-realism Madhyamaka shares enough family resemblances with lightweight realism scientific naturalism to warrant new look in, particularly resolving stalemates between

Abstract What is it in virtue of which any poetic output will be included or excluded from the category art? I first identify external demarcation problem, concerned with whether how cut-off made between art and non-art. then adopt a nonclassical approach to conceptual analysis by relying on set examples poetry generated aleatory processes evaluate an intention-based response problem. argue favor that grounded hypothetical intentionalism. According this response, contextually informed...
