Tale of Two Context-Based Formalisms for Representing Human Knowledge
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an investigation that compared and contrasted Context-based Reasoning (CxBR) and Contextual Graphs (CxG), two paradigms used to represent human intelligence. The specific objectives were to increase understanding of both paradigms, identifying which, if either, excels at a particular function, and to look for potential synergism amongst them. We study these paradigms through ten different aspects, with some indication of which one excels at this particular facet of performance. We point out how they are complementary and finishes with a recommendation for a new synergistic approach, followed by an example of an application of the new approach to tactical

This paper seeks to consider fundamental components and issues within the two allegories, including the issue of the soul as the ...
متن کاملGraph-Based Formalisms for Knowledge Representation
Graph-based formalisms provide an intuitive and easily understandable vehicle for knowledge representation. In this paper several existing graph-based formalisms are described. Furthermore, a new graph-based formalism for knowledge representation is defined. Basic concepts for graphical representation (nodes and links) as well as their variation are described. Context node, context link and pro...
متن کاملMaterialization Calculus for Contexts in the Semantic Web
Representation of context dependent knowledge in the Semantic Web is becoming a recognized issue and a number of DL-based formalisms have been proposed in this regard: among them, in our previous works we introduced the Contextualized Knowledge Repository (CKR) framework. In CKR, contexts are organized hierarchically according to a broader-narrower relation and knowledge propagation across cont...
متن کاملComputing Generalized Specificity
Most formalisms for representing common-sense knowledge allow incomplete and potentially inconsistent information. When strong negation is also allowed, contradictory conclusions can arise. A criterion for deciding between them is needed. The aim of this paper is to investigate an inherent and autonomous comparison criterion, based on specificity as defined in [POO 85, SIM 92]. In contrast to o...
