Based on Robinson’s Cognition Hypothesis, this study explored the effects of task complexity on the lexical complexity of Iranian EFL students’ argumentative writing.This study was designed to explore the manipulation of cognitive task complexity along +/-single task dimension (a resource dispersing dimension in Robinson’s triadic framework) on Iranian EFL learners’ production in term of lexica...

In everyday life, we often observe unusually frequent interactions among people before or during important events, e.g., people send/receive more greetings to/from their friends on holidays than regular days. We also observe that some videos or hashtags suddenly go viral through people’s sharing on online social networks (OSNs). Do these seemingly different phenomena share a common structure? A...

This paper describes a newly proposed approach towards investigating how social humanoid robots can learn creative conceptualizations through interaction with children in metaphor-guided pretense play using a componential creativity framework. We describe this metaphor-guided pretense play approach and then illustrate it by describing a social robot interaction pretense play scenario between a ...

This paper shows how Componential Explanation as discussed within Cognitive Science and Philosophy of Science relates to Compositional Verification in Computer Science. It is shown how formal techniques and methods developed for Compositional Verification provide a formal basis and automated support for Componential Explanation. The role of formalised interlevel relations is shown to be crucial...

This paper (Part 1) describes the principles of a novel unsupervised adaptive neural network anomaly detection technique, called componential coding, in the context of condition monitoring of electrical machines. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the technique’ s capabilities. The companion paper (Part 2), which follows, assesses componential coding in its application to real data reco...

We present a new approach for handling fuzzy triadic data in the setting of Formal Concept Analysis. The starting point is a fuzzyvalued triadic context (K1,K2,K3, Y ), where K1,K2 and K3 are sets and Y is a ternary fuzzy relation between these sets. First, we generalise the methods of Triadic Concept Analysis to our setting and show how they fit other approaches to Fuzzy Triadic Concept Analys...

This paper (Part 2) presents the practical application of componential coding, the principles of which were described in the accompanying Part 1 paper. Four major issues are addressed, including optimization of the neural network, assessment of the anomaly detection results, development of diagnostic approaches (based on the reconstruction error) and also benchmarking of componential coding wit...

It is demonstrated that a componential code emerges when a self-organising neural network is exposed to continuous speech. The code’s components correspond to substructures that occur relatively independently of one another: words and phones. A capability for generalisation and discrimination develops without having been optimised explicitly. The componential structure is revealed by optimising...

We present an argument for the advancement of Intelligent Creativity Support (ICS) systems as an integrating framework for Intelligent Tutoring Systems, Affective Computing, and Creativity Support Tools, in a manner that closely aligns each of these technologies and research agendas with the componential model of creativity, i.e. domain relevant expertise, intrinsic motivation, and creative thi...
