The TAM (Topographic Attentive Mapping) network is a biologically-motivated neural network. In the TAM network algorithm, knowledge is acquired from the TAM network structure through a pruning method, and the acquired knowledge is stored in an independent module. In this paper, three measures of similarity used to compare these independent knowledge storage modules will be discussed.

OBJECTIVE To assess the food storage knowledge and practice of elderly people living at home. METHODS Three phase survey data collection: face to face interviews; dietary diaries with a food frequency questionnaire; and follow up interviews. SETTING Urban Nottingham. PARTICIPANTS 809 elderly people (aged 65+) randomly selected from general practitioner lists. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Respo...

When dealing with large quantities of clauses, the use of persistent knowledge is inevitable, and indexing methods are essential to answer queries efficiently. We introduce PerKMan, a storage manager that uses G-trees and aims at efficient manipulation of large amount of persistent knowledge. PerKMan may be connected to Prolog systems that offer an external C language interface. As well as the ...

One of the most currently used knowledge representation forms are ontologies; which offer dissimilar advantages for modeling, generation, distribution and use of knowledge produced and accumulated in organizations. Given these advantages for knowledge management, ontologies are widely used to manage large volumes of environmental information that arise from this process, primarily the historica...

In this paper we examine the problem of automatic semantic identification of entities in multimedia documents from a computing point of view. Specifically, we identify as main points to consider the storage of the required knowledge and the computational complexity of the handling of the knowledge as well as of the actual identification process. In order to tackle the above we utilize (i) a spa...

purpose:ferdowsi university of mashhad has developed its institutional repository (saed) for academic staff to storage and manage their scholarly information. however, there is no knowledge about the extent to which academics use such an integrated system and the problems they face in storage and retrieval of their publications. the aim of this research is, therefore, to investigate the usage s...

This paper describes an ontology supported software application that combines the advantages of existing Internet search engines with modern text analysis functionalities and an intelligent storage system for results documents and knowledge items. An ontology assists the user in query definition and structures the storage and retrieval of documents as well as of knowledge items. The system is i...

Feeling of knowing judgments can be viewed as one mode of expressing knowledge of stored information. The present experiments explored the relation of the feeling of knowing to two other modes of expressing knowledge, recall and recognition, by examining how manipulations of encoding, storage, and retrieval conditions affected the relative frequency of positive and negative feeling of knowing j...
