Development of a knowledge representation for a real world operable intelligent system is one of the major targets of this project. For an implementation of intelligent system, there are two major conventional methods. One is a symbolic processing based on a symbolic knowledge representation and a logic inference by the symbolic logic. Though it is effective on some logical tasks of intelligenc...

Daum, Sommerville, and Prinz propose that the interrelation between the symbolic and embodied system needs more research attention. The proposal is based on the observation that human infants start out with embodied processes to understand the actions of others, and that these processes allow them to communicate with other people surprisingly well. What does the symbolic (language) system add t...

Traditional artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to programming the game of Go are based on the translation of local information (modelled by pattern recognition processes) to global symbolic form (modelled by rule-based systems) for access by symbolic reasoning processes. In this paper we explore the converse process seeking to relate local and global factors by integrating global factors i...

This article presents a study that examined the impact of visual communication on the quality of the early interaction between deaf and hearing mothers and fathers and their deaf children aged between 18 and 24 months. Three communication mode groups of parent-deaf child dyads that differed by the use of signing and visual-tactile communication strategies were involved: (a) hearing parents comm...
