Three years post-IPO, they expanded internationally, showing continued growth and market expansion. Overall, this timeline depicts a successful startup that achieved significant milestones roughly every 2-3 years, culminating in international expansion within a decade of founding. +--- + +Name: Detect the Presence of Reasoning in Messages + +Description: This task involves detecting various patterns of reasoning in text messages. + +Types of Reasoning: + +- Deductive: Disjunctive Syllogism, Hypothetical Syllogism, Constructive Dilemma +- Inductive: Generalization, Statistical Syllogism, Argument from Analogy +- Abductive: Inference to the Best Explanation +- Causal: Cause to Effect, Effect to Cause +- Conditional: Equivalence + +Example(s): + +DEDUCTIVE REASONING + +- Example 1: Modus Ponens + Input: If the weather is sunny, then we will go to the beach. The weather is sunny. + Output: Modus Ponens (Affirming the Antecedent): The conclusion follows logically from the given premises. + +- Example 2: Modus Tollens + Input: If the email was sent, I would have received it. I did not receive the email. + Output: Modus Tollens (Denying the Consequent): If the email was sent, I would have received it. I did not receive the email, hence it was not sent. + +- Example 3: Disjunctive Syllogism + Input: Either I will go for a run or I will stay home. I am not going for a run. + Output: Disjunctive Syllogism: Since you are not going for a run, you will stay home. + +- Example 4: Hypothetical Syllogism + Input: If it rains, the ground will be wet. If the ground is wet, the baseball game will be canceled. + Output: Hypothetical Syllogism: If it rains, the baseball game will be canceled. + +- Example 5: Constructive Dilemma + Input: If I get a job, I will move to the city. If I don't get a job, I will stay in my hometown. I will either get a job or not. + Output: Constructive Dilemma: I will either move to the city or stay in my hometown. + +INDUCTIVE REASONING + +- Example 6: Generalization + Input: All the dogs I've met have been friendly. Therefore, all dogs are friendly. + Output: Generalization: Based on the observed pattern, the conclusion is that all dogs are friendly. + +- Example 7: Statistical Syllogism + Input: Most students who study hard get good grades. Jane studies hard. + Output: Statistical Syllogism: Jane is likely to get good grades. + +- Example 8: Argument from Analogy + Input: The human brain works like a computer. A computer can be programmed. Therefore, the human brain can be programmed. + Output: Argument from Analogy: Since the human brain works like a computer and computers can be programmed, the human brain can be programmed. + +ABDUCTIVE REASONING + +- Example 9: Inference to the Best Explanation: + Input: The lights are out in the house. The best explanation is that there is a power outage. + Output: Inference to the Best Explanation: The most likely reason for the lights being out is a power outage. + +CAUSAL REASONING + +- Example 10: Cause to Effect + Input: Exposure to loud noise can cause hearing loss. John works in a noisy factory. + Output: Cause to Effect: John is at risk of hearing loss because he works in a noisy factory. + +- Example 11: Effect to Cause + Input: The streets are wet. It likely rained last night. + Output: Effect to Cause: The wet streets indicate that it probably rained last night. + +CONDITIONL REASONING + +- Example 12: Equivalence Reasoning + Input: A shape is a square if and only if it has four equal sides and four right angles. This shape has four equal sides and four right angles. + Output: Equivalence Reasoning: Since the shape has four equal sides and four right angles, it is a square. + +*Question: How to detect logical fallacies?* + +- Ad Hominem +- Straw Man +- False Dilemma +- Circular Reasoning +- Hasty Generalization +- Others [add below] + --- \ No newline at end of file
