Open AccessPre-Reflective Self-Consciousness: A Meta-Causal Approach
I present considerations surrounding pre-reflective self-consciousness (PRSC), arising in work I am conducting on a new physicalist, process-based account of [phenomenal] consciousness. The account is called the ...

Challenges in natural language processing: the case of metaphor (commentary)
This article comments on some ways in which metaphor is relevant to practical language technology, for either text or speech. While the article mentions some deep problems, it nevertheless points out that cert...

Affect Detection and an Automated Improvisational AI Actor in E-Drama
Enabling machines to understand emotions and feelings of the human users in their natural language textual input during interaction is a challenging issue in Human Computing. Our work presented here has tried ...

Exploitation in Affect Detection in Improvisational E-Drama
We report progress on adding affect-detection to a program for virtual dramatic improvisation, monitored by a human director. To aid the director, we have partially implemented emotion detection. within users’...

Developments in Affect Detection from Text in Open-Ended Improvisational E-Drama
We report progress on adding affect-detection to an existing program for virtual dramatic improvisation, monitored by a human director. To partially automate the directors’ functions, we have partially impleme...

Using Inductive Rules in Medical Case-Based Reasoning System
Multiple disorders are a daily problem in medical diagnosis and treatment, while most expert systems make an implicit assumption that only single disorder occurs in a single patient. In our paper, we show the ...

How to Combine CBR and RBR for Diagnosing Multiple Medical Disorder Cases
Multiple disorders are a daily problem in medical diagnosis and treatment, but most expert systems make an implicit assumption that only single disorder occurs in a single patient. We show the need for perform...

Artificial Intelligence, Mindreading, and Reasoning in Law
One aspect of legal reasoning is the act of working out another party’s mental states (their beliefs, intentions, etc.) and assessing how their reasoning proceeds given various conditions. This process of “min...

Uncertainty and Conflict Handling in the ATT-Meta Context-Based System for Metaphorical Reasoning
At CONTEXT’99, the author described the ATT-Meta context-based system for (a) reasoning uncertainly about agents’ beliefs and (b) performing some of the uncertain reasoning needed for the understanding of meta...

An Implemented System for Metaphor-Based Reasoning, With Special Application to Reasoning about Agents
An implemented system called ATT-Meta (named for propositional ATTitudes and Metaphor) is sketched. It performs a type of metaphor-based reasoning. Although it relies on built-in knowledge of specific metaphors, ...

An Implemented Context System that Combines Belief Reasoning, Metaphor-Based Reasoning and Uncertainty Handling
An implemented context-based reasoning system called ATT-Meta is sketched. The system can perform both reasoning about beliefs of agents and metaphor-based reasoning. In particular, it can perform metaphor-bas...

(Back) Towards Diagrammatic Representation and Reasoning in a Connectionist Framework (Extended Abstract)
The author had previously developed a framework called Conposit for implementing symbolic representation and reasoning in a connectionist framework. Early theoretical work towards the system placed strong emph...

Quantification without variables in connectionism
Connectionist attention to variables has been too restricted in two ways. First, it has not exploited certain ways of doing without variables in the symbolic arena. One variable-avoidance method, that of logical ...

Complex Symbol-Processing in Conposit, A Transiently Localist Connectionist Architecture
Two unusual primitives for the structuring of symbolic information in connectionist systems were discussed in [9]. The primitives are called Relative-Position Encoding (RPE) and Pattern-Similarity Association (PS...
