The last decade has seen huge progress in the development of advanced machine learning models; however, those models are powerless unless human users can interpret them.

By proposing a novel method of classifying concepts, in terms of ‘form’ and ‘function’, we eluci...

However, some research results have shown that gaming, regardless of what the game is supposed to portray, is a meaningful activity in itself, and this can dist...
