This paper shows how a robot can detect its self-image in a TV monitor and use the realtime video to guide its own actions in order to reach an object that can only be observed through the TV image. The robot exploits the temporal contingency between its motor commands and the observed self-movements in the TV monitor to extend its body schema representation. The extended body schema allows the...

The biological vision system is far more efficient than machine vision system. This is due to the former has rich neural layers for representation and process. In order to obtain a non-task-dependent image representation schema, the early phase of neural vision mechanism is worth simulating. We design a neural model to simulate non-classical receptive field of ganglion cell and its local feedba...

We present a computational approach that traces the developmental process, from containment image schemas to metaphor, in four phases: a) perceptual discovery of image schemas, b) associating perceptual arguments and the relation with linguistic units, c) discovering a linguistic structure encoding the schema, and finally d) enriching the semantics of the schema via extended language usage (via...

schema matching is a critical step in many applications, such as data warehouse loading, online analytical process (olap), data mining, semantic web [2] and schema integration. this task is defined for finding the semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas. recently, schema matching has found considerable interest in both research and practice. in this paper, we present a new impr...

We are developing a system that improves access to a large, growing image collection by supporting users to collaboratively build a faceted (multi‐ perspective) classification schema. For collections that grow in both volume and variety, a major challenge is to evolve the facet schema, and to reclassify existing objects into the modified facet schema. Centrally managed classification systems of...

This report presents the early results of the Frame+Schema project, a project to represent image and force-dynamic schemas in FrameNet. These structures are eventually intended to be used in leveraging the wealth of frame semantic knowledge available in the FrameNet database for situation-specific reasoning. We detail our image and forcedynamic schemas in the Embodied Construction Grammar forma...

AMPUTATED LIMBS persist as "phantoms" in their owners' consciousness. Temporary or permanent severance of afferent pathways may also give rise to subjective experiences in which the position of the phantom limb is different from that of the real one. Attempts have been made to explain phantom phenomena as expressions of a "body image" or "body schema" subserving a preconscious neurophysiologica...
