Coherent concept invention

چکیده
We address the problem on how newly invented concepts are evaluated with respect to a background ontology of conceptual knowledge so as to decide which of them are to be accepted into a system of familiar concepts, and how this, in turn, may affect the previously accepted conceptualisation. As technique to tackle this problem we explore the applicability of Paul Thagard’s computational theory of coherence. In particular, we propose a formalisation of Thagard’s notion of conceptual coherence for concepts represented in the AL description logic and explore by means of an illustrative example the role coherence may play in the process of conceptual blending.

متن کاملTowards the automatic invention of simple mixed reality games
The invention of mixed reality games that combine virtual and physical play offers a rich and challenging application area for AI techniques. We look at the possibility of using descriptive machine learning to automatically invent simple mixed reality games. Specifically, we demonstrate that the HR learning system can generate coherent domain knowledge from the noisy play data gathered from a n...
