This article demonstrates the potential of using hierarchical Bayesian methods to relate models and data in the cognitive sciences. This is done using a worked example that considers an existing model of categor
A common example of abstraction is associated with different address types. An address is a form of location for someone or something. It may represent the locator for a physical place such as a residence address, or it may represent a more virtual location such as a telephone number or an...
If we have a number of assertion statements throughout a model, it is useful to know which assertion is violated. We can get the simulator to provide extra information by including a report clause in an assertion statement, for example: assert initial_value <= max_value report“initial value...
*NOTE: Artificial intelligence (AI) can be separated into two branches of entities – that of ‘smart’ computers or systems (such as today’s deep learning), and a still unrealized ‘artificial general intelligence’ or AGI. We include this as a preface for helping to distinguish between the...
Over many thousands of years, the symbols evolved through several stages of abstraction until they became wedge-shaped (cuneiform) signs on clay tablets, recognizable as writing. [#paragraph2]The original tokens (circa 8500 B.C.E.) were three-dimensional solid shapes—tiny spheres, cones, disks...
Here's a great example of the distrust of abstractions. Joel Spolsky, internet entrepreneur, coined an aphorism he called "The Law of Leaky Abstractions": All non-trivial abstractions, to some degree, are leaky. He gives the example of TCP: the abstraction is "make a TCP connection and sen...
EasyCL- provides an abstraction layer over the low-level OpenCL API clew- similar to glew, means that cltorch can be loaded without any OpenCL library/runtime being present At runtime, if you want to call any of the cltorch methods, you will also need: ...
Generically, a diagram is a graphic shorthand. Though it is an ideogram, it is not necessarily an abstraction. lt is a representation of something in that it is not the thing itself. In this sense, it cannot help but be embodied. lt can never be free of value or meaning, even when ...
can reuse code (fields and methods) from other classes. To enable such reuse, a child class is created from a parent class. For example, relationships between objects can be assigned to create a class hierarchy, which enables developers to reuse coding logic to create families of related ...
Opening network capabilities:Facing the flexible application layer in the northbound direction, the adaptation layer centralizes resource scheduling and abstraction. Application developers can then schedule and assemble open network capabilities to quickly innovate services and applications. ...
