Ideal representations in a similarity space
نویسنده
چکیده
The present study provides an empirical evaluation of the ideal representation view of concept representation. We compared the ideal representation view with the more established exemplar and prototype views both in common taxonomic categories and in ad hoc categories. All three views are modeled based on underlying spatial similarity representations. Results suggest that the ideal representation is the better representation in ad hoc categories, and that the exemplar model is the better representation in the common taxonomic categories.

Estimating Analogical Similarity by Dot-Products of Holographic Reduced Representations
Models of analog retrieval require a computationally cheap method of estimating similarity between a probe and the candidates in a large pool of memory items. The vector dot-product operation would be ideal for this purpose if it were possible to encode complex structures as vector representations in such a way that the superficial similarity of vector representations reflected underlying struc...
متن کاملA Compromise Decision-making Model for Multi-objective Large-scale Programming Problems with a Block Angular Structure under Uncertainty
This paper proposes a compromise model, based on the technique for order preference through similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) methodology, to solve the multi-objective large-scale linear programming (MOLSLP) problems with block angular structure involving fuzzy parameters. The problem involves fuzzy parameters in the objective functions and constraints. This compromise programming method is ba...
متن کاملOn the reducible $M$-ideals in Banach spaces
The object of the investigation is to study reducible $M$-ideals in Banach spaces. It is shown that if the number of $M$-ideals in a Banach space $X$ is $n(<infty)$, then the number of reducible $M$-ideals does not exceed of $frac{(n-2)(n-3)}{2}$. Moreover, given a compact metric space $X$, we obtain a general form of a reducible $M$-ideal in the space $C(X)$ of continuous functions on $X$. The...
متن کاملCase Mix Planning using The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution and Robust Estimation: a Case Study
Management of surgery units and operating room (OR) play key roles in optimizing the utilization of hospitals. On this line Case Mix Planning (CMP) is normally applied to long term planning of OR. This refers to allocating OR time to each patient’s group. In this paper a mathematical model is applied to optimize the allocation of OR time among surgical groups. In addition, another technique is ...
متن کاملPrimitive Ideal Space of Ultragraph $C^*$-algebras
In this paper, we describe the primitive ideal space of the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(mathcal G)$ associated to the ultragraph $mathcal{G}$. We investigate the structure of the closed ideals of the quotient ultragraph $ C^* $-algebra $C^*left(mathcal G/(H,S)right)$ which contain no nonzero set projections and then we characterize all non gauge-invariant primitive ideals. Our results generalize the ...
