Technological advances that facilitate the infusion of intelligence and graphics into interfaces provide an important opportunity for research on cognitive aspects of visual representations to influence the design of smart graphic user interfaces to information-rich applications. In this context, we report on a cognitive model of multimodal comprehension and empirical results on interactive mul...

the late ‘allāma viewed knowledge (‘ilm) as an existential entity and agreed with ṣadr al-muti’allihīn in this respect, saying that knowledge is the presence of an object for an object, i.e. achievement of knowledge for a knower is the achievement of a de facto entity which is pure actuality; since, intuitively, we find that the cognitive form does not have the power to transform into another f...

this paper intends to find an answer to the problematic description of the “thing in itself”, “phenomena” and the relation between the two in kant and allameh tabatabaei’s philosophy and to consider how allameh can solve the existing challenges in kant’s philosophy. this research shows that since kant accepts some necessary relation between “intelligible essences” and phenomena, he considers th...

In Ennead III.5 On Love, Plotinus' discussion of erôs is underlined by Plato’s discourse on love in the Symposium and Phaedrus.[1] Plotinus conceives as a purified power, which directs soul to intelligible realm beauty world Forms.[2] Modern scholarship considers Plotinian an ascending power that always directed higher Forms never lower perceptible realm. Throughout Enneads, described purely or...

Since Artificial Intelligence (AI) software uses techniques like deep lookahead search and stochastic optimization of huge neural networks to fit mammoth datasets, it often results in complex behavior that is difficult for people to understand. Yet organizations are deploying AI algorithms in many mission-critical settings. In order to trust their behavior, we must make it intelligible — either...
