Metaphor, Meaning, Computers and Consciousness
This paper seeks to situate the computational modelling of metaphor within the context of questions about the relationship between the meaning and use of language. The results of this pragmatic assessment are used as the theoretical basis for a proposed computational implementation that seeks metaphor in the geometry of a vector space model of distributional semantics. This statistical approach...
متن کاملCan Digital Computers Support Ancient Mathematical Consciousness?
There have been several automated geometry theorem provers since Gelernter’s 1964 prover discovered a proof of the ‘Pons Asinorum’ not previously known to the developer. But they all start with logic-based formulations of Euclid’s axioms, postulates, etc. (e.g. using David Hilbert’s axiomatization, and assuming the Cartesian coordinate representation of geometry). But that is not how the ancien...
متن کاملCan Computers overcome Humans? Consciousness interaction and its implications
Can computers overcome human capabilities? This is a paradoxical and controversial question, particularly because there are many hidden assumptions. This article focuses on that issue putting on evidence some misconception related with future generations of machines and the understanding of the brain. It will be discussed to what extent computers might reach human capabilities, and how it could...
متن کاملConsciousness and Self-Consciousness
What is the relation between consciousness and self-consciousness? In recent philosophy of mind, we are accustomed to underlining their independence. It is often emphasized that a person can be conscious of a host of objects, features, and states of affairs unrelated to her. When a person is conscious of the sky, or consciously experiences the blueness of the sky, she is not attending to hersel...
متن کاملConsciousness and Reflective Consciousness
An interactive process model of the nature of representation intrinsically accounts for multiple emergent properties of consciousness, such as being a contentful experiential flow, from a situated and embodied point of view. A crucial characteristic of this model is that content is an internally related property of interactive process, rather than an externally related property as in all other ...
