Tensor Products and Split-Level Architecture: Foundational Issues in the Classicism-Connectionism Debate

Domain Independent Integrated Multimedia Data Mining is a Frivolous Exercise: Classicism vs. Connectionism Debate Revisited

In this paper the classicist and the connectionist debate is integrated in a multimedia data mining framework. Due to the ready availability of visual information digitally, the problem to store, retrieve and organize images is gaining tremendous importance and poses a serious challenge for practitioners of AI and databases alike. The central problem for image database management is the idea of...

Foundational Issues

Ray Jackendoff is well qualified to talk about the trend towards increasing specialization and fragmentation of the science of language. For over 30 years he has been a prolific contributor to a number of different topics in syntax and semantics, and has also made notable contributions to other areas of cognitive science, including music, consciousness, spatial cognition, and psycholinguistics....

Fuzzy projective modules and tensor products in fuzzy module categories

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. We write $mbox{Hom}(mu_A, nu_B)$ for the set of all fuzzy $R$-morphisms from $mu_A$ to $nu_B$, where $mu_A$ and $nu_B$ are two fuzzy $R$-modules. We make$mbox{Hom}(mu_A, nu_B)$ into fuzzy $R$-module by redefining a function $alpha:mbox{Hom}(mu_A, nu_B)longrightarrow [0,1]$. We study the properties of the functor $mbox{Hom}(mu_A,-):FRmbox{-Mod}rightarrow FRmbox{-Mo...
