ing symbolic matrices Special issue on artificial intelligence and symbolic computation Randa Almomen · Alan P. Sexton · Volker Sorge © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 Abstract We present a procedure that allows the abstraction of elements in concrete symbolic matrices to obtain a more compact representation employing ellipses in order to expose homogeneous regions present in a matrix...

Elements of a quantitative-symbolic theory of human language communication based on power-law entropic sublinearity are induced from independent results in quantitative linguistics, statistical NLP, information theory, plectics, neurosciences and statistical physics.

In this paper, we extend a symbolic association framework to being able to handle missing elements in multimodal sequences. The general scope of the work is the symbolic associations of object-word mappings as it happens in language development on infants. This scenario has been long interested by Artificial Intelligence, Psychology and Neuroscience. In this work, we extend a recent approach fo...

Augmented Reality (AR) is an umbrella term for technologies that superimpose virtual contents onto the physical world. There is an emerging research focus on AR applications to improve quality of life for special user groups with diverse levels of age, skill, disabilities and knowledge. Symbolic play is an early childhood activity that requires children to interpret elements of the real world i...

The kinds of change in facial expression which can be produced by a sender's neural control of facial muscles, and, at the same time, can be visually perceived by a listener are described in discrete symbols. The linguistic information supplemented by the facial expressions in signing is categorized into syllabic, lexical and syntactic components. In order to control the facial expressions for ...

The theory of ritual presented in this article is based on the notion “territory.” Ritual performance encompasses a set of techniques to affect the identity of participants: away from individuality and by communal demarcation of a symbolic territorial model in space or time. The form of ritual is seen as autonomous, i.e. as relatively independent of meaning. As a set of identity-affecting techn...

Using a symbolic dynamics and a surrogate data approach, we show that the language exhibited by common fruit flies Drosophila ('D.') during courtship is as grammatically complex as the most complex human-spoken modern languages. This finding emerges from the study of fifty high-speed courtship videos (generally of several minutes duration) that were visually frame-by-frame dissected into 37 fun...
