Cognitive Zoom: From Object to Path and Back Again
This paper posits the usefulness of mental shifts of scale and perspective in thinking and communicating about spatial relations, and describes two experimental techniques for researching such cognitive activities. The first example involves mentally expanding a hand-sized piece of entangled string, a knot, so that following a portion of the string into a crossing resembles the act of walking a...
متن کاملPragmatics: From Theory to Experiment and Back Again
This paper reviews some cases in which the collaboration of theoretical pragmaticians and psychologists of language has been most fruitful for all parties. Linguists have benefited from experimental data confirming the psychological validity of their observations and providing theory-critical evidence in cases beyond the reach of reflective intuition, while psychologists have benefited from hav...
متن کاملFrom combinatorics to ergodic theory and back again
Multiple ergodic averages, such as the average of expressions like f1(T x) f2(T x) . . . fk(T x), were first studied in the ergodic theoretic proof of Szemerédi’s Theorem on arithmetic progressions. It turns out that all constraints on such averages (in a sense that we describe) have an algebraic character, arising from identities in nilpotent groups. We discuss these averages, several generali...
متن کاملFrom Notions to Models and Back Again, Again
A typical thread in research relies on the maturing of ideasthrough an iterative process of construction, testing and refinement.In this talk I will trace some such trajectories of ideas by illustrationfrom some of my own and others’ experiences in agent-based modelling.I draw inspiration from previous commentaries, including from thosewho generated the mottos: “No Notation ...
متن کاملFrom Paragraphs to Vectors and Back Again
I investigate some methods of encoding text into vectors and decoding these vector representations. The purpose of decoding vector representations is two fold. Firstly, I could apply unsupervised learning algorithms to the paragraph vectors to find significant ”new” vectors and decode them into paragraphs of text. Effectively, I could process text and generate ”new” ideas. Secondly, I could dec...
