Inference in Cognitive Maps

نویسنده

  • Michael P. Wellman
چکیده

Cognitive mapping is a qualitative decision modeling technique developed over twenty years ago by political scientists, which continues to see occasional use in social science and decision-aiding applications. In this paper, I show how cognitive maps can be viewed in the context of more recent formalisms for qualitative decision modeling, and how the latter provide a firm semantic foundation that can facilitate the development of more powerful inference procedures as well as extensions in expressiveness for models of this sort.

Causation , Bayesian Networks , and Cognitive Maps ∗

Causation plays a critical role in many predictive and inference tasks. Bayesian networks (BNs) have been used to construct inference systems for diagnostics and decision making. More recently, fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) have gained considerable attention and offer an alternative framework for representing structured human knowledge and causal inference. In this paper I briefly introduce Bayes...

Fuzzy Cognitive Maps application for Webmining

This work examines and proposes a new method for web mining inference based on Fuzzy Cognitive Maps. The web mining inference and knowledge extraction consists of two phases. At the first phase the a priori algorithm is used for web mining and a collection of Association rules is inferred. In the second phase, the set of Association Rules is transformed into a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM). It inve...

Cognitive maps: towards a holistic conceptual model

Due to the lack of an integral study about Cognitive Maps that focus on the causal phenomenon, this work introduces the underlying concepts towards a Holistic Conceptual Model, enhanced by a profile of several versions. We illustrate this by their application to Web-based Education Systems. From the causal perspective, Cognitive Maps depict and simulate the systems dynamics based upon qualitati...

Classification using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps & Fuzzy Inference System

Fuzzy classification has become very necessary because of its ability to use simple linguistically interpretable rules and has get control over the limitations of symbolic or crisp rule based classifiers. This paper mainly deals with classification on the basis of soft computing techniques Fuzzy cognitive maps and fuzzy inference system. But the data available for classification contain some mi...

Dynamic Business Intelligence, Automated Decision Making with Fuzzy Cognitive Maps

This paper presents an application of fuzzy cognitive maps to model business knowledge and automate decisions made upon it. We remark the importance of this knowledge representation as a tool that couples with current business intelligence strategies and acts as an inference engine, capable of encoding business rules and automating e-commerce systems.
