  2. Genetic algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_algorithm

    The building block hypothesis (BBH) consists of: A description of a heuristic that performs adaptation by identifying and recombining "building blocks", i.e. low order, low defining-length schemata with above average fitness. A hypothesis that a genetic algorithm performs adaptation by implicitly and efficiently implementing this heuristic.

  3. Full factorial experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial_experiment

    Contrasts are of interest in themselves, and are the building blocks by which main effects and interactions are defined. In the 2 × 3 experiment illustrated here, the expression μ 11 − μ 12 {\displaystyle \mu _{11}-\mu _{12}}

  4. Soar (cognitive architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soar_(cognitive_architecture)

    Soar [1] is a cognitive architecture, [2] originally created by John Laird, Allen Newell, and Paul Rosenbloom at Carnegie Mellon University.. The goal of the Soar project is to develop the fixed computational building blocks necessary for general intelligent agents – agents that can perform a wide range of tasks and encode, use, and learn all types of knowledge to realize the full range of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_(statistics)

    In our previous diet pills example, a blocking factor could be the sex of a patient. We could put individuals into one of two blocks (male or female). And within each of the two blocks, we can randomly assign the patients to either the diet pill (treatment) or placebo pill (control).

  6. Activation-synthesis hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Activation-synthesis_hypothesis

    Currently, a three-dimensional model called AIM Model, described below, is used to determine the different states of the brain over the course of the day and night. The AIM Model introduces a new hypothesis that primary consciousness is an important building block on which secondary consciousness is constructed. [1]

  7. Building block (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_block_(chemistry)

    Building block is a term in chemistry which is used to describe a virtual molecular fragment or a real chemical compound the molecules of which possess reactive functional groups. [1] Building blocks are used for bottom-up modular assembly of molecular architectures: nano-particles , [ 2 ] [ 3 ] metal-organic frameworks , [ 4 ] organic ...

  8. Block design test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_design_test

    A block design test is a subtest on many IQ test batteries used as part of assessment of human intelligence. It is thought to tap spatial visualization ability and motor skill . The test-taker uses hand movements to rearrange blocks that have various color patterns on different sides to match a pattern.
