Clashing Consciousness

Clashing Diagnostic Approaches: DSM-ICD Versus RDoC.

Since at least the middle of the past century, one overarching model of psychiatric classification has reigned supreme, namely, that of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (herein referred to as DSM-ICD). This DSM-ICD approach embraces an Aristotelian view of mental disorders as largel...

The Diabetes Epidemic: Genes and Environment Clashing

Efficient classification of multi-labeled text streams by clashing

We present a method for the classification of multi-labelled text documents explicitly designed for data stream applications that require to process a virtually infinite sequence of data using constant memory and constant processing time. Our method is composed of an online procedure used to efficiently map text into a low-dimensional feature space and a partition of this space into a set of re...

Clashing cosmologies: Contrasting knowledge in the Greenlandic fishery

Current worldwide discussions about management regimes for natural resources are increasingly focusing on forms of knowledge: for example on the discussion on scientific knowledge versus ‘other’ forms of knowledge (Inglis 1993; Scott 1996; Kalland this issue), be it ‘local’, ‘indigenous’, aboriginal, or users’ knowledge. Many of these discussions have been highly politicised interactions betwee...

Fitting, Not Clashing! A Distributional Semantic Model of Logical Metonymy

compute thematic fit for pairs relying only on distributional information (no information about semantic types) compare thematic fit differences across conditions and processing cost differences (high processing cost → low thematic fit, corresponding to 1-thematic fit in the model) verify if the computational model yields the same main effects and pairwise differences reported by t...
