Obtiene su doctorado en el CIC la creadora de la Teoría de la Inconsistencia

Adriana Jiménez Contreras obtuvo en enero 2013 su doctorado en Computación, en el CIC. Desarrolló fórmulas y procedimientos cuantitativos para medir la inconsistencia en un conjunto (una bolsa) de afirmaciones que se contradicen "algo", como "Juan tiene un perro", "Juan tiene un Doberman", "Juan tiene un perro grande", "Juan tiene una iguana." Su trabajo se describe (y se puede obtener el texto completo) más abajo en este blog, bajo "Obtaining the consensus and inconsistency among a set of assertions on a qualitative attribute". El Jurado fueron los doctores (de izq. a der) Gilberto Martínez Luna, Sergei Levachkine (codirector), [Adriana Jiménez la doctorante], Adolfo Guzmán Arenas (codirector), Jesús Olivares Ceja.

Adriana Jiménez Contreras developed an interesting theory about how to measure the inconsistency between a set (a bag, in fact) of qualitative assessments. That is, contradictory statements are not always "fully contradictory," so that the AND (conjunction) of two statements may not be completely false. For instance, the contradiction between "John has a dog" and "John has a Doberman" is not full. Inconsistency does not necessarily maps to F and T, or to 0 or 1. It maps to a number between 0 (completely false) and 1 (completely true). We see her with her Ph. D. Thesis Committee, in CIC-IPN, where she obtained in 2013 her PhD. degree.
