An Overview of Models for Response Times and Processes in Cognitive Tests.
Response times (RTs) are a natural kind of data to investigate cognitive processes underlying cognitive test performance. We give an overview of modeling approaches and of findings obtained with these approaches. Four types of models are discussed: response time models (RT as the sole dependent variable), joint models (RT together with other variables as dependent variable), local dependency models (with remaining dependencies between RT and accuracy), and response time as covariate models (RT as independent variable). The evidence from these approaches is often not very informative about the specific kind of processes (other than problem solving, information accumulation, and rapid guessing), but the findings do suggest dual processing: automated processing (e.g., knowledge retrieval) vs. controlled processing (e.g., sequential reasoning steps), and alternative explanations for the same results exist. While it seems well-possible to differentiate rapid guessing from normal problem solving (which can be based on automated or controlled processing), further decompositions of response times are rarely made, although possible based on some of model approaches
Goal Translation for a Hammer for Coq (Extended Abstract)
Hammers are tools that provide general purpose automation for formal proof
assistants. Despite the gaining popularity of the more advanced versions of
type theory, there are no hammers for such systems. We present an extension of
the various hammer components to type theory: (i) a translation of a
significant part of the Coq logic into the format of automated proof systems;
(ii) a proof reconstruction mechanism based on a Ben-Yelles-type algorithm
combined with limited rewriting, congruence closure and a first-order
generalization of the left rules of Dyckhoff's system LJT.Comment: In Proceedings HaTT 2016, arXiv:1606.0542
Learning-Assisted Automated Reasoning with Flyspeck
The considerable mathematical knowledge encoded by the Flyspeck project is
combined with external automated theorem provers (ATPs) and machine-learning
premise selection methods trained on the proofs, producing an AI system capable
of answering a wide range of mathematical queries automatically. The
performance of this architecture is evaluated in a bootstrapping scenario
emulating the development of Flyspeck from axioms to the last theorem, each
time using only the previous theorems and proofs. It is shown that 39% of the
14185 theorems could be proved in a push-button mode (without any high-level
advice and user interaction) in 30 seconds of real time on a fourteen-CPU
workstation. The necessary work involves: (i) an implementation of sound
translations of the HOL Light logic to ATP formalisms: untyped first-order,
polymorphic typed first-order, and typed higher-order, (ii) export of the
dependency information from HOL Light and ATP proofs for the machine learners,
and (iii) choice of suitable representations and methods for learning from
previous proofs, and their integration as advisors with HOL Light. This work is
described and discussed here, and an initial analysis of the body of proofs
that were found fully automatically is provided
A User-Focused Reference Model for Wireless Systems Beyond 3G
This whitepaper describes a proposal from Working Group 1, the Human Perspective of the Wireless World, for a user-focused reference model for systems beyond 3G. The general structure of the proposed model involves two "planes": the Value Plane and the Capability Plane. The characteristics of these planes are discussed in detail and an example application of the model to a specific scenario for the wireless world is provided
Sharing HOL4 and HOL Light proof knowledge
New proof assistant developments often involve concepts similar to already
formalized ones. When proving their properties, a human can often take
inspiration from the existing formalized proofs available in other provers or
libraries. In this paper we propose and evaluate a number of methods, which
strengthen proof automation by learning from proof libraries of different
provers. Certain conjectures can be proved directly from the dependencies
induced by similar proofs in the other library. Even if exact correspondences
are not found, learning-reasoning systems can make use of the association
between proved theorems and their characteristics to predict the relevant
premises. Such external help can be further combined with internal advice. We
evaluate the proposed knowledge-sharing methods by reproving the HOL Light and
HOL4 standard libraries. The learning-reasoning system HOL(y)Hammer, whose
single best strategy could automatically find proofs for 30% of the HOL Light
problems, can prove 40% with the knowledge from HOL4
Dependency parsing resources for French: Converting acquired lexical functional grammar F-Structure annotations and parsing F-Structures directly
Recent years have seen considerable success in the generation of automatically obtained wide-coverage deep grammars for natural language processing, given reliable
and large CFG-like treebanks. For research within Lexical Functional Grammar framework, these deep grammars are
typically based on an extended PCFG parsing scheme from which dependencies are extracted. However, increasing success in statistical dependency parsing suggests that such deep grammar approaches to statistical parsing could be streamlined. We explore this novel approach to deep
grammar parsing within the framework of LFG in this paper, for French, showing that best results (an f-score of 69.46) for the established integrated architecture may be obtained for French
