The role of (bounded) optimization in theory testing and prediction.

The Behavioral and brain sciences
We argue that a radically increased emphasis on (bounded) optimality can contribute to cognitive science by supporting prediction. Bounded optimality (computational rationality), an idea that borrowed from artificial intelligence, supports a priori b...

The Role of Axiomatically-Rich Ontologies in Transforming Medical Data to Knowledge.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In the biomedical domain, there exist a number of common data models (CDM) that have experienced wide uptake. However, none of these has emerged as the common model. Recently, the demand for integrating and analyzing increasingly large data sets in c...

Design of dynamic genetic memory.

IET systems biology
In electronic systems, dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is one of the core modules in the modern silicon computer. As for a bio-computer, one would need a mechanism for storage of bio-information named 'data', which, in binary logic, has two level...

Logical Reasoning (Inferencing) on MicroRNA Data.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Logical reasoning played an important role in artificial intelligence. Applying logical reasoning on microRNA data brings intelligence into data analysis. Here, we provide basic introduction about logic (especially propositional logic) and automated ...

An integrated design and fabrication strategy for entirely soft, autonomous robots.

Nature
Soft robots possess many attributes that are difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with conventional robots composed of rigid materials. Yet, despite recent advances, soft robots must still be tethered to hard robotic control systems and power sou...

[Nephrology: knowledge and digital memory].

Giornale italiano di nefrologia : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di nefrologia
Mathematical sciences have had a huge development with the use of numbers, which is used to process images, sounds and computer languages. Medical knowledge is collected in databases in text format (groups of words). So far, words in Medicine have ne...

Simon and the Sirens: A Commentary.

Isis; an international review devoted to the history of science and its cultural influences
Even in its extended usage, the concept of bounded rationality bears the birthmark of its origins in economics. First and most obviously, it is about seeking the most efficient (not necessarily the best) means toward a given end, whether that is curi...

Of Models and Machines: Implementing Bounded Rationality.

Isis; an international review devoted to the history of science and its cultural influences
This essay explores the early history of Herbert Simon's principle of bounded rationality in the context of his Artificial Intelligence research in the mid 1950s. It focuses in particular on how Simon and his colleagues at the RAND Corporation transl...
