Similarity and Contrast on Conceptual Spaces for Pertinent Description Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within the general objective of conceiving a cognitive architecture for image interpretation able to generate outputs relevant to several target user profiles, the paper elaborates on a set of operations that should be provided by a cognitive space to guarantee the generation of relevant descriptions. First, it attempts to define a working definition of contrast operation. Then, revisiting well-known results in cognitive studies, it sketches a definition of similarity based on contrast, distinguished from the metric defined on the conceptual space.

Heat generation and radiation effects on steady MHD free convection flow of micropolar fluid past a moving surface
This paper was concerned with studying the magnetohydrodynamic steady laminar free convection flow of a micropolar fluid past a continuously moving surface in the presence of heat generation and thermal radiation. Similarity transformation was employed to transform the governing partial differential equations into ordinary ones, which were then solved numerically using the finite element method...
متن کاملA concept geometry for conceptual spaces
This paper generalizes and extends the theory of conceptual spaces as originally proposed by Gardenförs (Conceptual spaces. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press) to provide further geometric representations of both concepts and object observations within a multi-dimensional fuzzy space corresponding to a subset of a unit hypercube. With these representations, we are able directly to calculate normalized sc...
متن کاملSpatial Semantics for Concepts
Finding concepts that are similar to a given concept can prove useful in constructing user-friendly interfaces for querying DLontologies—the concrete use case being a query answering system with an enhanced user interface that suggests semantically relevant keywords (based on concept similarity) during query formulation. Most investigations on the similarity of concepts rely on ad-hoc and non-r...
متن کاملRequirements for Third Generation University: A Conceptual Review of Iranian Studies
Introduction: For more than a decade, Iranian researchers have been concerned about the third- generation university and have conducted various studies in this field. Collecting and analyzing the ideas presented in these studies may pave the way for finding a path for transformation into third-generation university. This study tries to introduce the requirements of moving Iranian universities t...
متن کاملTowards a Comprehensive Understanding of Context in Conceptual Spaces
Language is inherently connected to cognition (Herskovits, 1986; Lakoff, 1987). Accordingly, natural language communication about space (Peterson, Nadel, Bloom, & Garrett, 1996), such as navigation instructions, or place descriptions and comparisons, are grounded in human spatial cognition. In order to allow for the automatic generation and recognition of spatial language, a correspondingly gro...
