Effects of Background Knowledge on Object Categorization and Part Detection

Previous research has shown that background knowledge affects the ease of concept learning, but little research has examined its effects on speeded categorization of instances after the category is well learned. Subjects in 4 experiments first learned novel categories. At test, they categorized a new set of novel stimuli that were either consistent or inconsistent with background knowledge give...

Decoupling in Object Orientation

In formal design, decoupling means to make the features of a formal system as independent as possible from each other. Decoupling tends to make the features semantically more primitive and the overall system more general. Quite opposite to decoupling, the tradition in object oriented refinement theories is to combine all features, such as specification, usage constraints, encapsulation and inhe...

Object Recognition and Object Categorization in Animals

One of the most important attributes of cognitive activities in both human and nonhuman animals is the ability to recognize individual objects and to categorize a variety of objects that share some properties. Wild-living spider monkeys, for example, individually recognize their partners and a large number of other conspecifics quickly and accurately regardless of their highly variable spatial ...

Interleaved object categorization and segmentation

Historically, figure-ground segmentation has been seen as an important and even necessary precursor for object recognition. In that context, segmentation is mostly defined as a data driven, that is bottom-up, process. As for humans object recognition and segmentation are heavily intertwined processes, it has been argued that top-down knowledge from object recognition can and should be used for ...
