Interview - Terry Cook

Michael Terry

The first topic I would like to explore is probabilistic reasoning with Bayesian nets. I see that reasoning under situations of uncertainty is a very important area of AI, and it is apparent that these techniques are the standard approach for effectively modeling this uncertainty. I am particularly interested in learning how to model complex relationships between variables in spite of redundant...

ALKALIPHILY Terry

Terry A. Loring

Consider the partition function S μ( ) associated in the theory of Rényi dimension to a finite Borel measure μ on Euclidean d-space. This partition function S μ( ) is the sum of the q-th powers of the measure applied to a partition of d-space into d-cubes of width . We further Guérin’s investigation of the relation between this partition function and the Lebesgue Lp norm (Lq norm) of the convol...

Organisms across species use the strategy of generating structures in their environment to lower cognitive complexity. Examples include pheromones, markers, colour codes, etc. Distributed Cognition theory has argued that studying such ‘epistemic structures’ can provide insights into the development and nature of internal representations, and cognition itself. We develop this claim by providing ...

Ontological Modeling : Part 13 Terry

This is the thirteenth in a series of articles on ontology-based approaches to modeling. The main focus is on popular ontology languages proposed for the Semantic Web, such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF), RDF Schema (RDFS), and the Web Ontology Language (OWL). The first article [3] introduced ontologies and the Semantic Web, and covered basic concepts in the Resource Description Fr...
