Investigating healthcare IT innovations: a "conceptual blending" approach.
PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to better understand how and why adoption and implementation of healthcare IT innovations occur. The authors examine two IT applications, computerised physician order entry (CPOE) and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) at the meso and micro levels, within the context of the National Programme for IT in the English National Health Service (NHS...
متن کاملStyle: A Computational and Conceptual Blending-Based Approach
This chapter proposes a new approach to style, arising from our work on computational media using structural blending, which enriches the conceptual blending of cognitive linguistics with structure building operations in order to encompass syntax and narrative as well as metaphor. We have implemented both conceptual and structural blending, and conducted initial experiments with poetry, includi...
متن کاملGoal-Driven Conceptual Blending: A Computational Approach for Creativity
Conceptual blending has been proposed as a creative cognitive process, but most theories focus on the analysis of existing blends rather than mechanisms for the efficient construction of novel blends. While conceptual blending is a powerful model for creativity, there are many challenges related to the computational application of blending. Inspired by recent theoretical research, we argue that...
متن کاملOptimality Principles for Conceptual Blending: A First Computational Approach
We propose an implementation of the eight Optimality Principles from the framework of Conceptual Blending, as presented by Fauconnier and Turner (1998). Conceptual Blending explains several cognitive phenomena in the light of the integration of knowledge from different mental spaces onto a single mental space: the Blend. The Optimality Principles express general pressures that compete in the ge...
متن کاملA Computational Approach to Conceptual Blending within Counterfactuals
An important topic in philosophy and the semantics of natural language has been the representation and verification of counterfactuals. The majority of approaches have taken a classical view of language where statements can be reasoned about solely in terms of their truth functions. This has led to several well known problems in the verification of counterfactuals. We take another view, inspire...
