Phenomenal Data Mining: from Data to Phenomena

Phenomenal Data Mining: from Observations to Phenomena

Phenomenal data mining nds relations between the data and the phenomena that give rise to data rather than just relations among the data. For example, suppose supermarket cash register data does not identify cash customers. Nevertheless, there really are customers, and a data mining program might be able to identify which baskets of purchases are likely to have been made by the same customers. ...

Visual dissociations of movement, position, and stereo depth: some phenomenal phenomena.

When narrow bordering stripes arc added, further systematic phenomena occur. With intensity modulation of an edge-striped grey rectangle, which has a dark stripe on the left side and a light stripe on the right (which is similar to figures used by Stuart Anstis and Brian Rogers), the entire figure shifts, with reversed motion when the background luminance is modulated. By presenting a pair of s...

Smelling phenomenal

Qualitative-consciousness arises at the sensory level of olfactory processing and pervades our experience of smells to the extent that qualitative character is maintained whenever we are aware of undergoing an olfactory experience. Building upon the distinction between Access and Phenomenal Consciousness the paper offers a nuanced distinction between Awareness and Qualitative-consciousness that...

Phenomenal weightless machines

This paper describes how early designs of dynamic weightless neural systems were developed to enable some of the states of a state structure to have a phenomenal character. Such states reflect the features of a sensory reality and allow the storage of aspects of sensory experience and access to it. The ‘machine consciousness’ paradigm is summarised in this paper. The paper concludes with a desc...
