Image Schemas and Conceptual Blending in Diagrammatic Reasoning: The Case of Hasse Diagrams.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a formal, computational model of the sense-making of diagrams by using the theories of image schemas and conceptual blending, stemming from cognitive linguistics.

Adding Semantic Extension to Wikis for Enhancing Cultural Heritage Applications
Eric Leclercq,Marinette Savonnet +1 more
TL;DR: It is highlighted how wikis can be relevant solutions for building cooperative applications in domains characterized by a rapid evolution of knowledge, and the capabilities of semantic extension to provide better quality of content, to improve searching, to support complex queries and finally to carry out different type of users.

Summarizing spatial relations – a hybrid histogram
Qing Liu,Xuemin Lin,Yidong Yuan +2 more
TL;DR: A novel hybrid histogram method is proposed which uses the concept of Min-skew partition in conjunction with Euler histogram approach which can effectively model object spatial distribution.
Spatial Inference Based on Geometric ProportionalAnalogies
TL;DR: An instance-based reasoning solution to a variety of spatial reasoning problems that are solved by generating non-deductive inferences, integrating topology with area (and other) features and the accuracy of the algorithm is reported.

Metaphors We Live By
George Lakoff,Mark Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as mentioned in this paper suggest that these basic metaphors not only affect the way we communicate ideas, but actually structure our perceptions and understandings from the beginning, and they offer an intriguing and surprising guide to some of the most common metaphors and what they can tell us about the human mind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metaphors We Live by
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as discussed by the authors present a very attractive book for linguists to read, which is written in a direct and accessible style; while it introduces and uses a number of new terms, for the most part it is free of jargon.
Journal Article
Maintaining knowledge about temporal intervals
TL;DR: An interval-based temporal logic is introduced, together with a computationally effective reasoning algorithm based on constraint propagation, which is notable in offering a delicate balance between space and time.

The Theory of Parsing, Translation, and Compiling
Alfred V. Aho,Jeffrey D. Ullman +1 more
TL;DR: It is the hope that the algorithms and concepts presented in this book will survive the next generation of computers and programming languages, and that at least some of them will be applicable to fields other than compiler writing.
