Towards the Ideal: Coherence Theories of Judicial Adjudication and the Ideal Law in Hard Cases
… of judicial adjudication in adjudicating hard cases. After framing the discussion within the context of Angelo-American legal theory, hard cases, and stare decisis, coherence theories of judicial adjudication will be presented and shown to suffer from conservatism. This will be argued to …

Evaluating Fairness of Artificial Intelligence Models for Radiology Image Classification
… across clinician-labeled "easy," "medium," and "hard" cases, revealing a lower accuracy rate on hard cases. This study underscores the need for additional model testing and comprehensive data representation to ensure fairness before real-world deployment in healthcare systems.

Efficient classical simulation of spin networks
… quantum systems are believed to be exponentially hard to simulate using classical computers. It is in these hard cases where we hope to find quantum algorithms that provide speed up over classical algorithms. In the paradigm of quantum adiabatic computation, instances of spin networks with 2-local …

Philosophical problems and paradoxes in the concept of self-deception, with specific reference to perversions of rationality
… on a sliding scale from "weak" to "hard" cases, analogous to a sliding scale of "weak" to "hard" other-deception. By means of conceptual analysis of " deception'' and the comparison and evaluation of different arguments, the author attempts to explain how self-deception, as the …

An Application and Defense of Ronald Dworkin's Theory of Adjudication
… what the law requires in these so-called “hard cases.” Ronald Dworkin argues that if interpretation is not constrained, adjudicators are creating the law rather than simply interpreting it. He believes that such a constraint lies in considerations of coherence that will limit the range of …

Was Paul Prooftexting? Paul's Use of the Old Testament as Illustrated through Three Debated Texts
… of the next three chapters is given to the three hard cases of Paul's use of the OT. Paul's use of Isaiah 59:20-21 and 27:9 in Romans 11:26-27 is discussed in chapter 2 and demonstrated to be a contextually rooted use of the OT by arguing that Paul employs these passages with the same burden as …

Structure prediction for human parsing
… In detecting people, this method can deal with hard cases, for example, a person mounting a bicycle, that are uncommon in the training data and can cause current person detectors to fail. This thesis demonstrates a pedestrian finder which first finds the most likely human pose in the window …

Approximate Bayesian Modeling with Embedded Gaussian Processes
… and can handle general models, including hard cases that cannot be solved by aforementioned specialized optimizers. We show that our algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art optimizers on a number of simulation experiments. We then demonstrate our method on the embedded GP model for the …

The legal fact as a work of art : artificial intelligence and the pragmatics of legal interpretation
… of the legal real. She concludes that hard cases cannot be resolved in expert systems. If we accept Hart's premise then Gardner's conclusions are correct. This paper is to reject the positivist premise. This paper sets out legal language as an artifact of the legal institution. If …
