Forrester's paradox using typicality
2019
South African Forum for Artificial Intelligence Research
This motivates the enrichment of deontic logic with a notion of typicality which is based on defeasibility, with defeasibility allowing for reasoning about exceptions. ...
In deontic logic research, it is common for systems to be validated with the use of deontic paradoxes [18] . ...
Another reason we look at the paradox is that it provides difficulties that the straightforward examples would not, as it has been a challenge for deontic logic researchers [10, 12, 18] . ...

Automatic detection of abusive South African tweets using a semi-supervised learning approach
2019
South African Forum for Artificial Intelligence Research
Major setbacks for detection of abusive South African tweets are inadequacy of annotated corpus and high cost of annotation, which semi-supervised learning solves. ...
Chi-square statistics is used for the feature selection, while k-means algorithm is used for clustering of data points. By majority voting rule, reliable labels are assigned to the data points. ...
Proposed method In this section, we formalise the approach used to detect South African abusive tweets. ...

Effective graph sampling of a nonlinear image transform
2019
South African Forum for Artificial Intelligence Research
This algorithm has been shown to have important applications in artificial intelligence and pattern recognition. ...
Converting graph signals to the spectral domain can also be a costly overhead, and so methods of estimation for filter banks are examined, as well as the design of a good filter bank that may be reused ...

Directed curiosity-driven exploration in hard exploration, sparse reward environments
2019
South African Forum for Artificial Intelligence Research
Training agents in hard exploration, sparse reward environments is a difficult task since the reward feedback is insufficient for meaningful learning. ...
This requires further research into "intelligent exploration", through hybridising different shaped reward signals and exploration strategies. ...
Classic work in [6, 13] investigated balancing exploration and exploitation in polynomial time and has inspired much research in the area of intelligent exploration. ...
