Concept mapping has been used in multiple research domains for a variety of purposes such as brainstorming, knowledge elicitation, student testing and evaluation. Our work has applied the technique with pilots, emergency managers, emergency responders, and image analysts. Indeed, concept mapping has proven to be valuable both as an end state to represent and in turn understand knowledge, as wel...

When a robot learns to solve a goal-directed navigation task with reinforcement learning, the acquired strategy can usually exclusively be applied to the task that has been learned. Knowledge transfer to other tasks and environments is a great challenge, and the transfer learning ability crucially depends on the chosen state space representation. This work shows how an agent-centered qualitativ...

Current work in proper name analysis is focused on identification and limited categorisation of names. Some research has been carried out in acquiring knowledge of proper names from the contextual information within texts. In this study, we investigate how to transform human-oriented compilations, which contain a rich knowledge of proper names, into formallyrepresented knowledge for computer co...

Competition and globalisation are putting terrific pressure on organisations to provide a better quality service, to improve the speed to market, and to improve organisational agility and innovation. As organisations try to meet these challenges, they need to be innovative to produce the knowledge intensive services desired by their customers. As an organisation’s knowledge base comes to light,...

Method for 3D map creation based on knowledgebase system for texture mapping together with height estimation using objects’ shadows with high spatial resolution of remote sensing satellite imagery data is proposed. Through the experiments with IKONOS imagery data, the proposed method is validated. Keywords—texture mapping; remote sensing satellite; 3D map; object height estimation;

Motivated by the recent successful results of using GIS modeling in a variety of problems related to the geosciences, some knowledge-based methods were applied to a regional scale mapping of the mineral potential, special for Cu-Au mineralization in the Feyz-Abad area located in the NE of Iran. Mineral Prospectivity Mapping (MPM) is a multi-step process that ranks a promising target area for mo...
