Abstract

A system design for correlating information stimuli and a user’s personal information management system (PIMS) is introduced. This is achieved via a deep learning classifier for textual data, a recently developed PIMS graph information architecture, and a principle component analysis (PCA) reduction thereof. The system is designed to return unique and meaningful signals from incoming textual data in or near realtime. The classifier uses a recurrent neural network to determine the location of a given atom of information in the user’s PIMS. PCA reduction of the PIMS graph to \(\mathbb {R}^m\), with m the actuator (haptic) dimensionality, is termed a PIMS filter. Demonstrations are given of the classifier and PIMS filter. The haptic stimuli, then, are correlated with the user’s PIMS and are therefore termed “metastimuli.” Applications of this system include educational environments, where human learning may be enhanced. We hypothesize a metastimulus bond effect on learning that has some support from the analogous haptic bond effect. A study is outlined to test this hypothesis.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The dialectical architecture’s structural aspect can be considered to estimate the structure of a language game: a communally developed set of language rules of usage [16]. It is, then, important to recognize that there are many language games and therefore many structures to be estimated. Furthermore, the rules of these games evolve with use. Therefore, a user’s PIMS should not be isolated from others’, but neither should there be only one such structure. Additionally, a PIMS should evolve with the language game, a feature that can be detected through collective user estimation.

  2. 2.

    Kant claims the mind has a priori “intuitions” for space and time, but for our purposes we can take a priori to mean pre-existing.

  3. 3.

    Here we use “crisp” set notation; however, fuzzy set notation can also be used (see [7]).
