Spatial Representation for Pragmatic Navigation
نویسنده
چکیده
As described here, pragmatic navigation attempts to harness simple facts about a two-dimensional environment to facilitate travel through it without an explicit map. It relies upon predefined spatial representations whose explicit instances are learned during a sequence of trips through a fixed maze. Once learned, any of these instances can be applied to subsequent travel. Some of the representations are heuristic, as are the procedures that employ them. The resultant performance of an implementation, particularly when contrasted with traditional AI techniques, argues for path-finding guided by representations like those detailed here.

Melatonin improves spatial navigation memory in male diabetic rats
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of melatonin as an antioxidant on spatial navigation memory in male diabetic rats. Thirty-two male white Wistar rats weighing 200 ± 20 g were divided into four groups, randomly: control, melatonin, diabetic and melatonin-treated diabetic. Experimental diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg kg-1 streptozotocin. Melatonin...
متن کاملTowards Ontology-based Pragmatic Analysis
In this paper we describe an ontological model of pragmatic knowledge using an example from the domain of navigation that is based on the Descriptive Ontology for Linguistic and Cognitive Engineering and employs a specific ontological module called Descriptions & Situations. This framework establishes so-called ontological patterns. We employ such a pattern for modeling schematic knowledge of t...
متن کاملNavigating Within a Web Site: the WebStep Model
Web navigation is a complex activity in which users interact with a system to achieve their goals. Current webnavigation models (Kitajima, Blackmon, & Polson, 2000; Miller & Remington, 2000; Pirolli & Fu, 2003) are based on the label-following strategy, which takes the semantic aspects of navigation elements as fundamental. We propose that goal-directed actions of users are supported by semanti...
متن کاملSpatial Representation for Navigation in Animats
This article considers the problem of spatial representation for animat navigation systems. It is proposed that the global navigation task, or wayfinding, is best supported by multiple interacting sub-systems, each of which builds its own partial representation of relevant world knowledge. Evidence from the study of animal navigation is reviewed to demonstrate that similar principles underlie t...
متن کاملPragmatic Representations in Iranian High School English Textbooks
Owing to the growing interest in communicative, cultural and pragmatic aspects of second language learning in recent years, the present study tried to investigate representations of pragmatic aspects of English as a foreign language in Iranian high school textbooks. Using Halliday’s (1978), and Searle’s (1976) models, different language functions and speech acts were specifically determined and...
