TL;DR: This paper proposes an object-based representation method for conceptual system, focusing on the representation and development of concepts on four levels: Implicit (I), Explicit 1 (E1), Explicit 2 (E2) and Explicit 3 (E3) representations, which will contribute well to the adaptability and flexibility in the reasoning and problem solving of knowledge-based systems.
Abstract: Knowledge-based problem solving requires a conceptual system that is comparatively rich and complete, especially when the problem is domain unrestrictive. The methods about knowledge acquisition, representation and usage in classical Knowledge Engineering can only adapt themselves to domain restricted problems. This is because it doesn't take a developmental view to construct conceptual system and consequently it is confronted with Framework Problem. In Cognitive Psychology, the study of conceptual system has an in-depth cognitive investigate on issues of development and representation. However, there lack investigations on the details of system construction and realization. Based on the theory of Developmental Psychology, this paper proposes an object-based representation method for conceptual system, focusing on the representation and development of concepts on four levels: Implicit (I), Explicit 1 (E1), Explicit 2 (E2) and Explicit 3 (E3) representations. It will contribute well to the adaptability and flexibility in the reasoning and problem solving of knowledge-based systems.

TL;DR: A unified process of building an object-oriented knowledge representation and acquainting system is advanced after the study of the essence of knowledge and its structure to solve the problem of lack concepts and axioms in knowledge systems.
Abstract: Object-oriented method is a good method for knowledge representation. However, knowledge systems are different to traditional software systems in both process and destination. In this paper, the process of object-oriented system building is studied. Then, a unified process of building an object-oriented knowledge representation and acquainting system is advanced after the study of the essence of knowledge and its structure. Common sense and multi-granularity are considered in the process to solve the problem of lack concepts and axioms in knowledge systems.

TL;DR: A hypothesis based on spreading activation theory was used to explain the acquisition of express solving multiplication problem and stages in the description in two dimensions on structural formation and generalization respectively.
Abstract: Representational redescription is an important theory which describes conceptualization as an implicit to explicit process. This paper analyzed stages in the description in two dimensions on structural formation and generalization respectively. Focus on the structural formation dimension, this paper advanced a hypothesis based on spreading activation theory. The hypothesis was used to explain the acquisition of express solving multiplication problem. Keywords—representational redescription; spreading activation; knowledge acquisition; multiplication

TL;DR: The same classifiers are implemented on same object sets which are different in the granularity of classification to show different classification can make great difference in the quality of classification first.
Abstract: Classification is a famous branch of machine learning. We have tried many ways to invent and improve algorithms to get better results from given data. However, few have been done on how to revise data to adapt machine learning. In this paper, the same classifiers are implemented on same object sets which are different in the granularity of classification to show different classification can make great difference in the quality of classification first. Then the development of knowledge-base is studied. At last, a progressive knowledge acquisition method is advanced inspired by human’s cognition behavior.

TL;DR: This work argues that Karmiloff-Smith's Representational redescription model poses some problems concerning the architecture of a redescribing system, and argues that the model regards how knowledge is employed rather than how it is represented in the system.
Abstract: We focus on Karmiloff-Smith's Representational redescription model, arguing that it poses some problems concerning the architecture of a redescribing system. To discuss the topic, we consider the implicit/explicit dichotomy and the relations between natur al language and the language of thought. We argue that the model regards how knowledge is employed rather than how it is represented in the system.
