Symbolic Interaction and “Interpretation”

Situated Action: A Symbolic Interpretation

The congeries of theoretical views collectively referred to as "situated action" (SA) claim that humans and their interactions with the world cannot be understood using symbol-system models and methodology, but only by observing them within real-world contexts or building nonsymbolic models of them. SA claims also that rapid, real-time interaction with a dynamically changing environment is not ...

-SSA and its Construction through Symbolic Interpretation

In this paper, we propose a new variant of SSA called-SSA and discuss its construction through symbolic interpretation of programs. By relaxing a condition of SSA form without violating the fundamental nature of static single assignment,-SSA form results in a representation which uses fewer join functions than the minimal SSA form. A graph representation called Value Flow Graph (VFG) is used to...

Symbolic Model for Scene Interpretation 2 sensor

The symbolic level of a dynamic scene interpretation system is presented. This symbolic level is based on plan prototypes represented by Petri nets whose interpretation is expressed thanks to 1st order cubes, and on a reasoning aiming at instantiating the plan prototypes with objects delivered by the numerical processing of sensor data. A purely symbolic meta-structure, grounded on the lattice ...

On the Symbolic Interpretation of Traac Scenes

We present a high-level traac scene interpretation system based on an Object-Oriented concurrent logic programming approach. The system is written in Parlog++ and is based on the idea of a network of concurrent objects , each dealing with a class of structures in a picture , and exchanging messages in both a top-down and bottom-up direction. The system is tested on real images obtained from aer...
