Abstract:
The view that large-scale, long-range social theories cannot be predictive other than "in principle" is sufficiently widespread as to be considered the orthodox view. It is widely held that, lacking this predictive quality, social theories are cut off from a crucial form of vindication enjoyed by the experimental sciences. Thus many would agree with Ryan's assessment that while with regard to large-scale social changes "long-range prediction is not in principle impossible," nonetheless as a matter of practical methodology such a goal is of "dubious value." The reason commonly proffered as to

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, 2009.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 122-133).<br>In this thesis, rational Bayesian models and the Theory-theory are bridged to explore ways in which children can be described as Bayesian scientists. I investigate what it means for children to take a rational approach to processes that support learning. In particular, I present empirical studies that show children making rational predictions, exploration, and explanations. I test the claim that differences in prior beliefs or changes in t

Abstract:
Experimental data often contains curious and unexplained results. In the course of experimental investigations of Raman shifting and the Co:MgF₂ laser, results were obtained which would not have been expected from the typical theoretical picture. In the case of Raman shifting, the forward Stokes conversion was found to depend upon the pump bandwidth. Numerical modeling suggests that coupling between the Stokes directions may be the root cause of the phenomena. In the case of the Co:MgF₂ laser, the laser output was observed to have large amounts of spectral structure. This amount of structure s

Abstract:
This dissertation proposes an original approach to theory of action in psychological and sociological criminology, i.e. to theory explaining the causation of human wilful behaviour at great abstraction through the information processing conducted by each individual human agent. It is argued that the model presented in this dissertation, the so-called Minimal Model of Action, is more theoretically comprehensive than prior familiar approaches originating in various related fields, in particular through its integration of both rational and habitual aspects of behaviour in a unified causal argumen

Abstract:
Churn prediction methods are widely used in Customer Relationship Management and have proven to be valuable for retaining customers. To obtain a high predictive performance, recent studies rely on increasingly complex machine learning methods, such as ensemble or hybrid models. However, the more complex a model is, the more difficult it becomes to understand how decisions are actually made. Previous studies on machine learning interpretability have used a global perspective for understanding black-box models. This study explores the use of local explanation models for explaining the individual

Abstract:
Dans cette thèse je défends l'élimination des concepts d'attitudes propositionnelles. Dans le premier chapitre, je présente les thèses éliminativistes en philosophie de l'esprit et des sciences cognitives contemporaines. Il y a deux types d'éliminativisme: le matérialisme éliminatif et l'éliminativisme des concepts. Il est possible d'éliminer les concepts soit des théories naïves soit des théories scientifiques. L'éliminativisme à propos des concepts d'attitudes propositionnelles que je défends requière le second type d'élimination. Dans les trois chapitres suivants je donne trois arguments en

Ces dernière années, les systèmes de recommandation ont reçu beaucoup d'attention avec l'élaboration de nombreuses propositions qui tirent parti des nouvelles avancées dans les domaines du Machine Learning et du Deep Learning. Grâce à l'automatisation de la collecte des données des actions des utilisateurs tels que l'achat d'un objet, le visionnage d'un film ou le clic sur un article de presse, les systèmes de recommandation ont accès à de plus en plus d'information. Ces données sont des retours implicites des utilisateurs (appelé «~implicit feedback~» en anglais) et permettent de conserver l'
