1. Characterising Problem Solving Methods by gradual requirements: overcoming the yes/no distinction

- Characterising Problem Solving Methods by gradual requirements: overcoming the yes/no distinction.
- Secondly, we show that characterisations of problem-solving methods should be stated in gradual terms, and not in terms of yes/no requirements. Such a gradual approach to characterising problem-solving methods allows methods to use domain knowledge that only partially fulfills the requirements, in which case the methods still produce useful, although suboptimal solutions. Problem-solving methods with such gradual behaviour can be applied and re-used in a wider set of circumstances than classically characterised methods. ...

- Empirical Tests of the Gradual Learning Algorithm Paul Boersma, University of Amsterdam.
- Abstract The Gradual Learning Algorithm (Boersma 1997) is a constraint ranking algorithm for learning Optimality-theoretic grammars. The purpose of this article is to assess the capabilities of the Gradual Learning Algorithm, particularly in comparison with the Constraint Demotion algorithm of Tesar and Smolensky (1993, 1996, 1998, 2000), which initiated the learnability research program for Optimality Theory. We argue that the Gradual Learning Algorithm has a number of special advantages: it can learn free variation,deal effectively with noisy learning data, and account for gradient well-formedness judgments. ...

- RATIONALE FOR GRADUAL RETIREMENT.
- In fact, we hypothesize that there would have been more incidence of gradual retirement if systemic and reasonable ways to enable older workers to retire gradually had been more widely available.
- This bears out the fact that, under current employment patterns, white-collar professionals are peopie who could more easily arrange for gradual retirement or keep on working full time.
- We argue that much of the concern and debate in this regard could be ameliorated if gradual retirement arrangements were more available and better utilized.
- Gradual retirement, in our opinion, may provide a solution. ...
- Part of the reason that employment income has not increased more sharply could have resulted from the fact that gradual retirement programs are not widely available. ...
- BARRIERS TO IMPLEMENTING GRADUAL RETIREMENT PROGRAMS.
- While a variety of gradual retirement practices exist, there appears to be a large number of barriers to an employer who might desire, either formally or informally, to adopt a gradual retirement arrangement. ...
- Access to retirement benefits, however, is often legally conditioned on the employee's full retirement, which conflicts with the idea of gradual retirement. Whether a rule or regulation impedes gradual retirement may also depend on the type of retirement plan and may also involve issues outside the retirement plan context.
- 3 Moreover, there is some question about whether certain defined benefit pension formulas (so-called "final average pay" plans) could result in reduced benefits if an employee participated in a gradual retirement program. Each of these requirements presents its own set of issues when a gradual retirement program is considered.
- There are ways outside of a formal gradual retirement program to access pension benefits while continuing to work, but these raise other legal issues. ...

- "Support for gradualism derives from the fact that many, probably most, evolutionary processes are indeed gradual and incremental. ... However, it is one thing to believe that gradual processes predominate in nature and quite another to hold that all evolutionary processes must be gradual. ... " Examples include sudden adaptation due to natural disaster, preadaptations and exaptations (Gould and Vrba 1982), and possibly, syntax and language, which being hierarchical could not have been gradual, "the difference between flat structure (beads on a wire) and hierarchyical structure is absolute" (Bickerton 2000, p. ...
