Similarity Judgments: Philosophical, Psychological And Mathematical Investigations
This study investigates similarity judgments from two angles. First, we look at models suggested in the psychology and philosophy literature which capture the essence of concept similarity evaluation for humans. Second, we analyze the properties of many metrics which simulate such evaluation capabilities. The first angle reveals that non-experts can judge similarity and that their judgments nee...

I argue that the recalcitrance of these disputes is symptomatic of deep misunderstandings. I focus ...
متن کاملCorrectness Criteria for Models' Validation- A Philosophical Perspective
Valid models are central to the existence of Computer science as in most other disciplines, but at what point can one say that a model is valid and hence correct? A model is often taken to be an abstraction and simplification of reality (of the system being modelled) but reality (the nature of measured data, environmental and human factors) in itself, has a nature of abstract complexity, hence ...
متن کاملSubjectivity and Identity: Semiotics as Psychological Explanation
Semiotic theorists including Umberto Eco have recently sought to found epistemology on a cognitive interpretation of sign-usage. Other psychological models of ‘identity’ and/or ‘subjectivity’ or of individual ‘subjects’ have also been re-interpreted in general semiotic terms.
