Abstract

Economic value additions to knowledge and demand provide practical, embedded and extensible meaning to philosophizing cognitive systems. Evaluation of a cognitive system is an empirical matter. Thinking of science in terms of distributed cognition (interactionism) enlarges the domain of cognition. Anything that actually contributes to the specific quality of output of a cognitive system is part of the system in time and/or space. Cognitive science studies behaviour and knowledge structures of experts and categorized structures based on underlying structures. Knowledge representation through understanding of ‘epistemic cultures’ is an evolutionary stage. But cognition goes beyond knowledge representation. Notwithstanding the importance of epistemology of phenomena, the practicability cum philosophical aspects of machine learning needs to be seen in dynamic behaviour in socio-economic-technical value additions if human machine interaction processes that are context specific are incorporated into strong artificial intelligent systems. Cognitive Science is also studied from both computational and biological angles. Evolution of interactive forms of reasoning through understanding of meta-language of computations or biological learning processes is possible. But the limitation of historical cultures predefines the role of interactive processes in user-networks beyond technology networks. Despite this limitation, inclusive development notions of a heterogeneous national society such as India or Europe can be tested and incorporated.

Notes

  1. To implement competitive relationship among neurons (taking cue from Crick’s view that when external stimuli come to brain-specific neurons corresponding to features of same object form dynamic neural assemblies by a temporal synchronous neural oscillation to code objects in external world. So a firing probability of a competitive neuron within a Bayesian P(X/l1, l2….) = P(X) pi j is w yh P(I) where e lk is linking pre-synaptic neuron, X is neuron and w yh  = (Pl y/X)/P(l id) where P(X) is prior probe calculated from feeding information; and P(X/l1, l2….) is post probe after getting information from linking P(e lk) is firing probability of l j. Therefore, for assessing firing probability, posit X 1 X 2….X n be n neurons competitive to one another; P before (X i) is firing probability of X i before competition; and so firing probability after competition is P after (X i) = P before (X i))/Summation P before (X j).—From Shi J-Chinese Academy of Science-Institute of Computing Technology-ky Lab of Intelligent Information processing.
