[UAI] Question about deleting records with too much missing data

I have a dataset with about 10,000 records and about 20 attributes. However, some records only have data on a few of the attributes. A search revealed no formal way for deciding when to simply delete the record. They only say that in "case deletion" we simply delete the record if too many field

[UAI] Research indicating that we will have true artificial intelligence in the next 10 to 100 years

is no research that gives me any reason to believe this. In my recent AI textbook I took the stance that we have essentially failed at this endeavor. Does anyone know of anyresearch that would make someone make such a statement? Thanks, Rich -- Richard E. Neapolitan, Ph.D., Professor Divisio

[UAI] A final defense of fuzzy sets

I always was with Zadeh in the fuzzy set theory versus probability arguments. I noted that fuzzy set theory is not probability theory under certain assumptions as some argued (e.g. at the special UAI working on higher order uncertainty in the 90s at George Mason University). Rather fuzzy set th
