Validating
Reasoning Software (*doc, 663 kB) |
Abstract. Computer support of argumentation and reasoning
extrapolates procedures from critical thinking. These procedures
involve simplifications, in need of validation. Validation explains
why and when reasoning procedures succeed, e.g. in managing wicked
or ill structured problems. Visual reasoning software is a kind of
heuristics for analyzing and presenting information. It can be
validated from judgment analysis. The validation shows that a class
of computer based visualization of reasoning support the two main
types of heuristics for judgment and decisions: lexicographic
heuristics and trade off heuristics. (2007)

Testing
Reasoning Software. A Bayesian Way (*.pdf, 70 kB) |
Abstract: Is it possible to supply strong
empirical evidence for or against the efficacy of reasoning
software? There is a paradox concerning tests of reasoning
software. I will show that both positions – skepticism vs.
belief in efficacy – can be compatible with evidence. This is the
case if (1) the testing methods differ, (2) the facilities of
observation differ and (3) tests rely on contextual assumptions.

Conceptual
Uncertainty and Reasoning Tools (*.pdf, 94 kB) |
Abstract.
This paper studies a more inclusive class of reasoning support than
formal logic. In the present approach, conceptual uncertainty,
including vagueness is represented as higher order uncertainty. A
taxonomy of epistemic and conceptual uncertainty is provided.
Finally, implications of conceptual uncertainty for reasoning
support systems are analyzed. (July 2007) |

Testing tools of
reasoning. Mechanisms and procedures (*.pdf, 372 kb)
|
Abstract.
This paper claims that there are two kinds of
empirical testing: intercontextual and intracontextual, depending on
the intended scope of inductive generalization. Intercontextual
tests would need to correct for mechanisms contributing to effects.
Such mechanisms are today largely unknown. Intracontextual testing
is far safer. But are not its lessons tied to a specific context? It
will be shown that, to some extent, its lessons generalize beyond
its context. (July 2007) |
