The development of walking has been extensively studied because it enables infants to move more, carry and manipulate objects, and engage in more frequent interactions with people. Changes in various domains, such as motor and cognitive abilities, ...

Group coordination is defined as interactions with other members to implement a task that is difficult to do alone or to achieve higher performance than an individual. Meanwhile, the adjustment process in coordination is not uniquely determined ...

Temporal data (TD) in Semantic Web are affected by different types of imperfections principally conflict. In the literature, most of the proposed approaches deal with perfect TD. However, to our knowledge, there is no approach to dealing with ...

There are various real-world applications and areas, knowledge that handles with ambiguity, imperfect, or partial are difficult to capture. Such situations cause problems to discover new knowledge while dealing with decision-making and information ...

Since statutes are revised over time, a rule-base representing statutes requires revisions to update represented interpretations. As an extension of our paper in JSAI2021, we investigate an aspect of semantical changes and the effects of revision ...

Algebraic characterization of logic programs has received increasing attention in recent years. Researchers attempt to exploit connections between linear algebraic computation and symbolic computation to perform logical inference in large-scale ...

From a mixed perspective of the fields of computational creativity and design research, we present a formal framework called Computational Creative Design Systems Framework (CCDSF) for describing, analyzing, and modeling Computational Creative ...

In this paper, we propose Knowledge Graph (KG), an articulated underlying semantic structure, as a semantic bridge between humans, systems, and scientific knowledge. To illustrate our proposal, we focus on KG-based intelligent survey systems. In ...

Recently, attention mechanisms have significantly boosted the performance of natural language processing using deep learning. An attention mechanism can select the information to be used, such as by conducting a dictionary lookup; this information ...

Given an observation or a goal, abduction infers candidate hypotheses to explain the observation or to achieve the goal. In this paper, we consider disjunctive abduction, in which disjunctions play important roles in abduction. Machine-oriented ...

Professor Koichi Furukawa, an eminent computer scientist and former Editor-in-Chief of the New Generation Computing journal, passed away on January 31, 2017. His passing was a surprise, and we were all shocked and saddened by the news. To remember ...

We argue that studies on embodied knowledge should deal with the process of how knowledge is learned, if we consider the essential meaning of the notion of “embodiment”. In other words, those studies are supposed to deal with the flow of time as ...

Skill is an action requiring intelligence. It has been debated whether motions require representations because they are thought to describe procedures. The dichotomy between thought and execution has puzzled us because we are unsure how thinking ...

Reversible computing is both forward and backward deterministic. This means that a uniquely determined step exists from the previous computational configuration (backward determinism) to the next one (forward determinism) and vice versa. We ...

This paper addresses the problem of efficiently finding an optimal Bayesian network structure for maximizing the posterior probability. In particular, we focus on the B& B strategy to save the computational effort associated with finding the ...

Learning causal models hidden in the background of observational data has been a difficult issue. Dealing with latent common causes and selection bias for constructing causal models in real data is often necessary because observing all relevant ...

The second AMBN was held in Yokohama, Japan on November 16–18, 2015, co-sponsored by the Japanese Society Artificial Intelligence (JSAI) and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST).The AMBN workshop had over 100 ...

The objective of this research is to use current linked open data (LOD) to generate questions automatically to support history learning. This paper tries to clarify the potential of LOD as a learning resource. By linking LOD to natural language ...

Declarative systems aim at solving tasks by running inference engines on a specification, to free their users from having to specify how a task should be tackled. In order to provide such functionality, declarative systems themselves apply complex ...

The notion of equality between two observables will play many important roles in foundations of quantum theory. However, the standard probabilistic interpretation based on the conventional Born formula does not give the probability of equality ...
