The aim of this thesis is to analyze the role of episodic memory in Artifical Intelligence (AI). Memory and ARtficial Intelligence are one of the most important issue in philosophy. A thinking machine is the main topic in AI. The relation between episodic memory and AI has been analyzed in terms of high level cognitive capabilities such as perception, learning, and reasoning. Episodic memory is essential for not only human intelligence but also AI. Since, episodic memory supports some important high level cognitive capabilities. Here, I argue that if a proper episodic memory model is designed, it is possible yo develop AI as human intelligence

Nested structure of time consciousness and its dependence on mental time travel competence and episodic memory Dural Özer, Özge; Sol, Ayhan; Michaelian, Kourken; Department of Philosophy (2013) The main objective of this master thesis is to clarify the nested structure in time consciousness, depending on mental time travel and episodic memory. Time consciousness, mental time travel and episodic memory are connected, and function depending on each other. Mental time travel ability enables us to imagine personal future events. Episodic memory allows us to travel mentally into both past and future. Similarity between remembering the past and imagining the future indicates that episodic memory system ...
Cortical localization debate with its historical background Ekemen, Cengiz; Bağçe, Samet; Gökçay, Didem; Department of Philosophy (2012) The primary aim of this thesis is the consideration of neuroscientific studies regarding the localization of high-level cognitive (i.e., nonsensory and nonmotor) processes into the brain. To accomplish this aim, I briefly summarized history of the localizations which lead to the cortical localization of high-level cognitive processes. Then, I present a case study, memory consolidation to compare molecular neuroscience (MN) and cognitive neuroscience (CN) as to how they differ in their localizations. After I...
The genealogy of the moral modules Bolender, J (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2003-05-01) This paper defends a cognitive theory of those emotional reactions which motivate and constrain moral judgment. On this theory, moral emotions result from mental faculties specialized for automatically producing feelings of approval or disapproval in response to mental representations of various social situations and actions. These faculties are modules in Fodor's sense, since they are informationally encapsulated, specialized, and contain innate information about social situations. The paper also tries to ...
A Review on Interpretable and Explainable Artificial Intelligence in Hydroclimatic Applications Basagaoglu, Hakan; Chakraborty, Debaditya; Do Lago, Cesar; Gutierrez, Lilianna; ŞAHİNLİ, MEHMET ARİF; Giacomoni, Marcio; Furl, Chad; Mirchi, Ali; Moriasi, Daniel; Şengör, Sema Sevinç (2022-04-01) This review focuses on the use of Interpretable Artificial Intelligence (IAI) and eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) models for data imputations and numerical or categorical hydroclimatic predictions from nonlinearly combined multidimensional predictors. The AI models considered in this paper involve Extreme Gradient Boosting, Light Gradient Boosting, Categorical Boosting, Extremely Randomized Trees, and Random Forest. These AI models can transform into XAI models when they are coupled with the expla...
The concepts of health and sickness in Nietzsche's philosophy Akbalık, Bilge; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2009) The purpose of the present study is to assess the role of the concepts of health and sickness in Nietzsche’s philosophy. While doing this, our basic presupposition will be that these concepts owe their special place to their being the new criteria for Nietzsche’s project of revaluation of all existing values. Nietzsche was philosophizing in the face of the crisis of 19th century Europe, that is, nihilism. According to him, Western traditional thought is based on an otherworldly oriented conception of life t...
