Symbolic Computing with Incremental Mindmaps to Manage and Mine Data Streams - Some Applications

In our understanding, a mind-map is an adaptive engine that basically works incrementally on the fundament of existing transactional streams. Generally, mind-maps consist of symbolic cells that are connected with each other and that become either stronger or weaker depending on the transactional stream. Based on the underlying biologic principle, these symbolic cells and their connections as well may adaptively survive or die, forming different cell agglomerates of arbitrary size. In this work, we intend to prove mind-maps' eligibility following diverse application scenarios, for example being an underlying management system to represent normal and abnormal traffic behaviour in computer networks, supporting the detection of the user behaviour within search engines, or being a hidden communication layer for natural language interaction.Comment: 4 pages; 4 figure

CUBA: Artificial conviviality and user-behaviour analysis in web-feeds

Conviviality is a concept of great depth that plays an important role in any social interaction. A convivial relation between individuals is one that allows the participating individuals to behave and interact with each other following a set of conventions that are shared, commonly agreed upon, or at least understood. This presupposes an implicit or an explicit regulation mechanism based on consensus or social contracts and applies to the behaviours and interactions of participating individuals. With respect to an intelligent web-based system, an applicable social contribution is the give of assistance to other users in situations that are unclear and in guiding him to find the right decision whenever a conflict arises. Such a convivial social biotope deeply depends on both implicit and explicit co-operation and collaboration of natural users inside a community. Here, the individual conviviality may benefit from “The Wisdom of Crowds”, which fosters a dynamic understanding of the user’s behaviour and a strong influence of an individual’s well being to another person(s). The web-based system CUBA focus on such a behavioural analysis through profiling and demonstrates a convivial stay within a web-based feed system
