Seymour Hersh

I have this sort of heuristic view that journalism, we possibly offer hope because the world is clearly run by total nincompoops more than ever... Not that journalism is always wonderful - it's not - but at least we offer some way out, some integrity.

American Journalist

Imre Lakatos

It would be wrong to assume that one must stay with a research programme until it has exhausted all its heuristic power, that one must not introduce a rival programme before everybody agrees that the point of degeneration has probably been reached.

Hungarian Philosopher

Daniel Kahneman

By their very nature, heuristic shortcuts will produce biases, and that is true for both humans and artificial intelligence, but the heuristics of AI are not necessarily the human ones.

Israeli Psychologist

The positive heuristic of the programme saves the scientist from becoming confused by the ocean of anomalies.

Wilhelm Wundt

The materialistic point of view in psychology can claim, at best, only the value of an heuristic hypothesis.

German Psychologist

Research programmes, besides their negative heuristic, are also characterized by their positive heuristic.

Heuristic refers to a quick method that solves problems faster than detailed analysis would.

Problem-Solving Shortcut

Heuristics aren't perfect. They might lead to errors, but they're useful for immediate judgment.

Not Always Right

Heuristics are often developed from someone's experiences and may not work in every situation.

Experience-Based

In computing, 'heuristic' means favoring a practical solution that saves time over finding the best solution.

Practical Over Perfect

Heuristic algorithms may not find the best option but are used to improve computational efficiency.

Algorithm Efficiency

Heuristic methods often operate with uncertainty. They make assumptions to bypass complex reasoning.

Beyond Certainty

 feel like it's in your control there are a bunch of other of these biases these cognitive biases that affect our risk decisions there's the availability heuristic which basically means we estimate the probability of something by how easy it

The security mirage -...

 and the world's broadcasts too have gotten steadily glummer. Why don't people appreciate progress? Part of the answer comes from our cognitive psychology. We estimate risk using a mental shortcut called the "availability heuristic."
