چکیده

In this talk we present the Fluid Concepts cognitive model, developed by Douglas Hofstadter and his students over the last 30 years. Models in the Fluid Concepts tradition aim to provide a psychologically plausible description of perception and analogy-making, incorporating the parallel processing of bottom-up, data-driven percepts and topdown, expectation-driven hypotheses. We discuss these models' implications for scientific discovery.

Joined-Up Reasoning for Automated Scientific Discovery: A Position Statement and Research Agenda

We use the phrase “joined-up” here with a double meaning: to convey two aspects of scientific discovery which we believe are essential, yet under-researched with respect to automating scientific discovery processes. Firstly, from an Artificial Intelligence perspective, the majority of approaches to using AI techniques involve a disjointed sequential application of different problem solving meth...

Identification of selected monogeneans using image processing, artificial neural network and K-nearest neighbor

Abstract Over the last two decades, improvements in developing computational tools made significant contributions to the classification of biological specimens` images to their correspondence species. These days, identification of biological species is much easier for taxonomist and even non-taxonomists due to the development of automated computer techniques and systems.  In this study, we d...

Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies: A Review

Dave Chalmers, Daniel Defays, Bob French, Gary McGraw, and Melanie Mitchell). Although Hofstadter is not the first author of all the articles, there is a coherent vision to the whole book, reinforced by the prefaces Hofstadter wrote for each article. Two major ideas appear to underlie much of Hofstadter’s work; although these ideas are related, one is primarily a computational claim, and the ot...
