Human-like Prototypes for Psychologically Inspired Knowledge Representation

Psychologically Inspired Symbolic Cognitive Architectures

This paper provides an overview of the area of psychological inspired symbolic cognitive architectures. It does this by first defining the terms that describe this research area and by selecting three architectures to examine: ACT-R, EPIC, and Soar. For each of these architectures, the motivations, assumptions, and features are evaluated. The similarities and differences between the architectur...

A Human-Like Cognitive Computer Based on a Psychologically Inspired VLSI Brain Model

Despite the enormous computational power of current digital computers, they are still inferior to humans in many respects, such as in seeing events happening in front, perceiving and recognizing them by intuition and association, and making a decision to take an immediate action. Furthermore, it appears very unlikely that computers will become as intelligent as humans in these aspects by just a...

Knowledge Representation on the Web Revisited: The Case for Prototypes

Recently, RDF and OWL have become the most common knowledge representation languages in use on the Web, propelled by the recommendation of the W3C. In this paper we examine an alternative way to represent knowledge based on Prototypes. This Prototype-based representation has different properties, which we argue to be more suitable for data sharing and reuse on the Web. Prototypes avoid the dist...
