Medical applications usually used Radial Basis Function Networks just as Artificial Neural Networks. However, RBFNs are Knowledge-Based Networks that can be interpreted in several way: Artificial Neural Networks, Regularization Networks, Support Vector Machines, Wavelet Networks, Fuzzy Controllers, Kernel Estimators, Instanced-Based Learners. A survey of their interpretations and of their corre...

Not all user intentions can be extracted from the speech acts associated with an user utterance. Extra reasoning may be needed to interpret what the user said. We describe how interpretations can be generated using (i) the knowledge associated with each domain object; and (ii) the system’s expectations. We also present a way of connecting interpretations to discourse obligations, from where sys...

We describe an information-theoretic argument-interpretation mechanism embedded in an interactive system. Our mechanism receives as input an argument entered through a web interface. It generates candidate interpretations in terms of its underlying knowledge representation – a Bayesian network, and applies the Minimum Message Length principle to select the best candidate. The results of our pre...

Three semantics have been proposed as the most promising candidates for a declarative interpretation for logic programs and pure Prolog programs: the least Herbrand model, the least term model, i.e. the C-semantics, and the S-semantics. Previous results show that a strictly increasing information ordering between these semantics exists for the class of all programs. In particular, the S-semanti...

Alice Sebold’s novel The Lovely Bones was published in 2002; and released in cinema adaptation in 2010. As a runaway success, doubtless many reviews and discussions would have taken place. This review is experimental: It seeks to consider this popular novel from a perspective about systemicity. My concern here is with the plausibility of transmission of cybernetic ideas and systemic knowledge i...

The paper presents a constraint based semantic formalism for HPSG. The syntax-semantics interface directly implements syntactic conditions on quantifier scoping and distributivity. 1 The construction of semantic representations is guided" by general principles governing the interaction between syntax and semantics. Each of these principles acts as a constraint to narrow down the set of possible...

conclusions both eps and er residents either missed or falsely called a significant number of pathologies in their interpretations. the interpretations of eps and er residents were more sensitive and more specific, respectively. these findings revealed the need for increased training time in head ct reading for residents and the necessity of attending continuing medical education workshops for ...

As-Living-Thing that includes 12 extended metaphors. However, no taxonomies are given for the other very general core metaphors used in MIDAS, which are LocationMetaphor, At-State, Have-State, Container-Metaphor, Kill-Metaphor, and EatingMetaphor. Moreover, there is little discussion of the relationship between these core metaphors. The third question is: is there some way to reduce the enormou...

In this study, we examined the role of context knowledge in data analysis tasks and investigated the interplay between students’ use of context knowledge and statistical knowledge. Findings showed that knowledge of context was an important factor contributing to students’ engagement in statistical tasks. Students used context knowledge in three broad ways: to rationalize the data or their inter...
