Metaphor and Artificial Intelligence: A Special Double Issue by John A. Barnden, Mark G. Lee

By John A. Barnden, Mark G. Lee

This designated factor arose out of a symposium on metaphor and synthetic intelligence during which the most orientation was once computational versions and mental processing versions of metaphorical figuring out. The papers during this factor discuss:
*implemented computational structures for dealing with various elements of metaphor understanding;
*how metaphor may be accommodated in approved logical representational frameworks;
*psychological strategies serious about metaphor realizing; and
*the cross-linguistic cognitive fact of conceptual metaphors.

Stochastic Local Search : Foundations & Applications (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Artificial Intelligence)

Stochastic neighborhood seek (SLS) algorithms are one of the such a lot well-liked and winning ideas for fixing computationally tough difficulties in lots of parts of machine technological know-how and operations learn, together with propositional satisfiability, constraint delight, routing, and scheduling. SLS algorithms have additionally develop into more and more renowned for fixing hard combinatorial difficulties in lots of program parts, corresponding to e-commerce and bioinformatics.

Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition

This can be the 1st accomplished remedy of feed-forward neural networks from the viewpoint of statistical development attractiveness. After introducing the elemental suggestions, the booklet examines thoughts for modeling chance density services and the homes and advantages of the multi-layer perceptron and radial foundation functionality community versions.

Handbook of Temporal Reasoning in Artificial Intelligence, Volume 1

This assortment represents the first reference paintings for researchers and scholars within the zone of Temporal Reasoning in man made Intelligence. Temporal reasoning has a necessary function to play in lots of parts, relatively man made Intelligence. but, previously, there was no unmarried quantity gathering jointly the breadth of labor during this quarter.

Programming Multi-Agent Systems in AgentSpeak using Jason

Jason is an Open resource interpreter for a longer model of AgentSpeak – a logic-based agent-oriented programming language – written in Java™. It permits clients to construct advanced multi-agent platforms which are able to working in environments formerly thought of too unpredictable for pcs to address.

50 VAN GENABITH generic and the typical and, for expository purposes approximated both in terms of universal quantification). , Black, 1962) that often what is at stake in metaphor interpretation is cultural stereotypes taking the form of stereotypical individuals or prototypes, rather than definitions of classes in terms of necessary and sufficient conditions. In this account, Example 1 is likely to be interpreted as stating that “John is clever” and this interpretation derives from comparing John to a prototype fox.

52 VAN GENABITH 17. ” RESOLUTION The reduced simile reading ∃P(Pj ∧ ∀x(fox x → Px)) of Example 1 is weak and trivialized by the universal property. Trivialization can be excluded in a number of ways, as exemplified in Examples 9, 10, and 11. , informative) instances of the property P shared between tenor and vehicle. From the existentially quantified formula offered as a reduced simile reading of Example 1, we cannot deduce much: Existential quantification over P amounts to a (possibly infinite) disjunction over suitable predicates of the type of P whose extension is required to include both tenor and vehicle.

Instantiation of P relative to an existing axiomatization of background knowledge). ” By contrast, our approach is symmetric. Again, this is because the account developed here provides truth conditions and not a model of the dynamics of an agent’s knowledge states under metaphor comprehension. , Davidson, 1984). , precisely which meaning is intended is uncertain). These aspects feature in the analysis offered here: The literal meaning of Example 1 is fox(j), literal meaning components (fox, j) feature prominently in the representation of the nonliteral meaning of Example 1 in Example 7, and the shared property P is existentially quantified; that is, we know there should be some property that is shared by tenor and vehicle, but we do not know exactly which one.
