    Conceptual Primitive Decomposition for Knowledge Sharing via Natural Language

    Get PDF
    Natural language is an ideal mode of interaction and knowledge sharing between intelligent computer systems and their human users. But a major problem that natural language interaction poses is linguistic variation, or the paraphrase problem : there are a variety of ways of referring to the same idea. This is a special problem for intelligent systems in domains such as information retrieval, where a query presented in natural language is matched against an ontology or knowledge base, particularly when its representation uses a vocabulary based in natural language. This paper proposes solutions to these problems in primitive decomposition methods that represent concepts in terms of structures reflecting low-level, embodied human cognition. We argue that this type of representation system engenders richer relations between natural language expressions and knowledge structures, enabling more effective interactive knowledge sharing

    Autonomous construction using scarce resources in unknown environments: Ingredients for an intelligent robotic interaction with the physical world

    The goal of creating machines that autonomously perform useful work in a safe, robust and intelligent manner continues to motivate robotics research. Achieving this autonomy requires capabilities for understanding the environment, physically interacting with it, predicting the outcomes of actions and reasoning with this knowledge. Such intelligent physical interaction was at the centre of early robotic investigations and remains an open topic. In this paper, we build on the fruit of decades of research to explore further this question in the context of autonomous construction in unknown environments with scarce resources. Our scenario involves a miniature mobile robot that autonomously maps an environment and uses cubes to bridge ditches and build vertical structures according to high-level goals given by a human. Based on a "real but contrived” experimental design, our results encompass practical insights for future applications that also need to integrate complex behaviours under hardware constraints, and shed light on the broader question of the capabilities required for intelligent physical interaction with the real worl

    In this paper three virtual but dimensioned entities are used to contain knowledge while it is by itself abstract Knowledge resides in knowledge-banks of computers and the Internet More importantly knowledge resides in all living species The main emphasis is on the human species that construct their personalized knowledge structures and banks that they deploy to resolve their personal Needs Such needs drive behavior and adaptive Both these human characteristics are alive and get influence by human interaction These dimensions have human thought scientific and physical energy and time orientations It becomes feasible to build a hyperspace for knowledge and confine it in the three dimensions of thought anchored in the personality of an individual energy and time both anchored in both physiological and physical spaces We present the personality aspects based on the human needs that drive the human being a noun object n to perform actions one or more verb functions v in intelligent steps convolutions between n s and v s to gratify the needs Needs are inherent in human personality to maintain lif

    Unreduced Dynamic Complexity: Towards the Unified Science of Intelligent Communication Networks and Software

    Get PDF
    Operation of autonomic communication networks with complicated user-oriented functions should be described as unreduced many-body interaction process. The latter gives rise to complex-dynamic behaviour including fractally structured hierarchy of chaotically changing realisations. We recall the main results of the universal science of complexity (http://cogprints.org/4471/) based on the unreduced interaction problem solution and its application to various real systems, from nanobiosystems (http://cogprints.org/4527/) and quantum devices to intelligent networks (http://cogprints.org/4114/) and emerging consciousness (http://cogprints.org/3857/). We concentrate then on applications to autonomic communication leading to fundamentally substantiated, exact science of intelligent communication and software. It aims at unification of the whole diversity of complex information system behaviour, similar to the conventional, "Newtonian" science order for sequential, regular models of system dynamics. Basic principles and first applications of the unified science of complex-dynamic communication networks and software are outlined to demonstrate its advantages and emerging practical perspectives

    The reported study was funded by RFBR according to the research project No. 18-01000204_a, No. 16-07-00031_a, No. 18-07-00975_a.Purpose: The article is devoted to solving fundamental scientific problems in the scope of the development of forecasting modeling methods and evaluation of regional company’s innovative development parameters, synthesizing new methods of big data processing and intelligent analysis, as well as methods of knowledge eliciting and forecasting the dynamics of regional innovation developments through benchmarking. Design/Methodology/Approach: For regional economic development, it is required to identify the mechanisms that contribute to (or impede) the innovative economic development of the regions. The synergetic approach to management is based on the fact that there are multiple paths of IS development (scenarios with different probabilities), although it is necessary to reach the required attractor by meeting the management goals. Findings: The present research is focused on obtainment of new knowledge in creating a technique of multi-agent search, collection and processing of data on company’s innovative development indicators, models and methods of intelligent analysis of the collected data. Practical Implications: The author developed recommendations before starting the process of institutional changes in a specific regional innovation system. The article formulates recommendations on the implementation of institutional changes in the region taking into account the sociocultural characteristics of the region’s population. Originality/Value: It is the first time, when a complex of models and methods is based on the use of a convergent model of large data volumes processing is presented.peer-reviewe
