ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: American Association on Artificial Intel / AAAI Press, PUBLISHER: AAAI Press, The focus ong>ofong> the AAAI-92 conference is on the re integration ong>ofong> AI as a diverse but coherent whole.

For example, a paper proposing a new epistemology for representing the physical world based on an analysis ong>ofong> human brain structure would be described as "representation, physical world, ong>biologicalong>." The papers collected here represent significant research contributions to such areas as the principles underlying cognition, perception, and action in man and machine; the design, application, and evaluation ong>ofong> AI algorithms and systems; and the analysis ong>ofong> domains in which AI systems perform.

Communicating Meaning: The Evolution and Development of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Velichkovsky, Boris M. / Rumbaugh, Duane M., PUBLISHER: Psychology Press, Dealing specifically with the origins and development ong>ofong> human language, this book is based on a selection ong>ofong> materials from a recent international conference held at the Center ong>ofong> Interdisciplinary Research at the University ong>ofong> Bielefeld in Germany. The significance ong>ofong> the volume is that it testifies to paradigmatic changes currently in progress. The changes are from the typical emphasis on the syntactic properties ong>ofong> language and cognition to an analysis ong>ofong> ong>biologicalong> and cultural factors which make these formal properties possible. The chapters provide in-depth coverage ong>ofong> such topics as new theoretical foundations for cognitive research, phylogenetic prerequisites and ontogenesis ong>ofong> language, and environmental and cultural forces ong>ofong> development. Some ong>ofong> the arguments and lines ong>ofong> research are relatively well-known; others deal with completely new interdisciplinary approaches. As a result, some ong>ofong> the authors' conclusions are in part, rather counterintuitive, such as the hypothesis that language as a system ong>ofong> formal symbolic transformations may be in fact a very late phenomenon located in the sphere ong>ofong> socio-cultural and not ong>biologicalong> development. While highly debatable, this and other hypotheses ong>ofong> the book may well define research questions for the future.
