چکیده

Natural human activities involve using and manipulating objects, often several at a time, simultaneously and continuously. For example, changing lanes while driving requires using a steering wheel and pedals, all while observing the road and making sure that lanes are clear. Not only are we recognizing these objects, but we know what to do with them (i.e., we can perceive object affordances). We use our imagination and invoke mental simulations to construct variations of objects and actions to learn these affordances. Learning how to use objects is a highly desirable skill for robots, as well. Unfortunately, although robots are proficient at recognizing object features, they are less-skilled at recognizing what can be done with these objects. In this paper, we sketch a novel approach based on Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory [1] and uncertain logic for inferring object affordances using a mental simulation framework. As part of this effort, we are in the process of developing a computational model for affordance that can represent complicated activities and can account for the dynamic and continuous nature of real-world scenarios.

A procedure for Web Service Selection Using WS-Policy Semantic Matching

In general, Policy-based approaches play an important role in the management of web services, for instance, in the choice of semantic web service and quality of services (QoS) in particular. The present research work illustrates a procedure for the web service selection among functionality similar web services based on WS-Policy semantic matching. In this study, the procedure of WS-Policy publi...

A Joint Semantic Vector Representation Model for Text Clustering and Classification

Text clustering and classification are two main tasks of text mining. Feature selection plays the key role in the quality of the clustering and classification results. Although word-based features such as term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vectors have been widely used in different applications, their shortcoming in capturing semantic concepts of text motivated researches to use...

Developing a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information

With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...

A Discourse Analysis of “The Prince and His Companions” in Kelileh and Demneh Based On Semio-Semantics

Despite showing an overtly simple structure, the semantic process in classic literary-narrative discourse conforms to complicated semiotic systems. As a result, semio-semantics is deemed as one of the most scientific, reliable tools since it helps intradiscursive semio-textual propositions be phenomenologically, and even epistemologically, analyzed. Consequently, the narrative discourse in “The...

Representation of $H$-closed monoreflections in archimedean $ell$-groups with weak unit

 The category of the title is called $mathcal{W}$. This has all free objects $F(I)$ ($I$ a set). For an object class $mathcal{A}$, $Hmathcal{A}$ consists of all homomorphic images of $mathcal{A}$-objects. This note continues the study of the $H$-closed monoreflections $(mathcal{R}, r)$ (meaning $Hmathcal{R} = mathcal{R}$), about which we show ({em inter alia}): $A in mathcal{A}$ if and  only if...
