The notion of distal similarity is ill defined
We argue that the notion of distal similarity on which Edelman’s reconstruction of the process of perception and the nature of representation rests is ill defined. As a consequence, the mapping between world and description that is supposedly at stake is, in fact, a mapping between two different descriptions or “representations.” Edelman has shown experimentally that people can extract the unde...
متن کاملGeneric Sentence Fusion Is An Ill-Defined Summarization Task
We report on a series of human evaluations of the task of sentence fusion. In this task, a human is given two sentences and asked to produce a single coherent sentence that contains only the important information from the original two. Thus, this is a highly constrained summarization task. Our investigations show that even at this restricted level, there is no measurable agreement between human...
متن کاملRanking influential spreaders is an ill-defined problem
Finding influential spreaders of information and disease in networks is an important theoretical problem, and one of considerable recent interest. It has been almost exclusively formulated as a node-ranking problem— methods for identifying influential spreaders rank nodes according to how influential they are. In this work, we show that the ranking approach does not necessarily work: the set of...
متن کاملThe Notion of Similarity in Data and Pattern Spaces
In the recent years, our ability of collecting information rapidly increases and huge databases that change over time in a high frequency have been developed. On the other hand, the data mining techniques used for extracting essential information from raw data are rather complex, thus not synchronized to underlying data changes. There is a need of detecting whether synchronization operations sh...
متن کاملOn the Notion of Similarity in Case-Based Reasoning
The semantics of similarity measures is studied and reduced to the evidence theory of Dempster and Shafer. Applications are given for classification and configuration, the latter uses utility theory in addition. In: Mathematical and Statistical Methods in Artificial Intelligence (eds. G. della Riccia, R. Kruse, R. Viertl), Springer Verlag 1995, pp. 171-184
