- Cognitive linguistics introduced image schemas as a missing link between embodied experiences and high-level conceptualisation in language and metaphorical thinking. They are described as the abstract spatio-temporal relationships that function as conceptual building blocks for everyday concepts and events. Although there is increasing interest in the area of cognitively motivated artificial intelligence, where image schemas are suggested to be a core piece in the puzzle to model human-level conceptualisation and reasoning, so far rather few formal logical approaches can be found in the literature, in particular regarding attention to the dynamic aspects of image schemas. A fundamental problem here is that the typical mainstream approaches in contemporary KR do not map well to various scenarios found in image schema modelling. In this paper, we introduce a spatio-temporal logic for ‘directed movement of objects’, with the aim to model formally image schematic events such as Blockage, Caused_Movement and ‘bouncing’.

Choosing the Right Path : Image Schema Theory as a Foundation for Concept Invention
- 2015

Ingår i: Journal of Artificial General Intelligence. - : Sciendo. - 1946-0163. ; 6:1, s. 21-54

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Image schemas are recognised as a fundamental ingredient in human cognition and creative thought. They have been studied extensively in areas such as cognitive linguistics. With the goal of exploring their potential role in computational creative systems, we here study the viability of the idea to formalise image schemas as a set of interlinked theories. We discuss in particular a selection of image schemas related to the notion of ‘path’, and show how they can be mapped to a formalised family of microtheories reflecting the different aspects of path following. Finally, we illustrate the potential of this approach in the area of concept invention, namely by providing several examples illustrating in detail in what way formalised image schema families support the computational modelling of conceptual blending.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In cognitive linguistics, image schemas are understood as conceptual building blocks that are learned in early infancy and which shape not only language but conceptualisation as a whole. In this chapter, we discuss the role that image schemas play in concept invention, with a focus on computational conceptual blending. Moreover, we motivate and outline a formalisation approach to image schemas representing them as interlinked families of theories.

Image schemas as families of theories
- 2015

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Image schemas are recognised as a fundamental ingredient in human cognition and creative thought. They have been studied extensively in areas such as cognitive linguistics. However, the very notion of image schemas is still ill-defined, with varying terminology and definitions throughout the literature. For the purpose of formalising image schemas in order to exploit their role in computational creative systems, we here study the viability of the idea to formalise image schemas as graphs of interlinked theories. We discuss in particular a selection of image schemas related to the notion of ‘path’ and show how they can be mapped to a formalised family of micro theories reflecting the di erent aspects of path following.

Image schemas in computational conceptual blending
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Cognitive Systems Research. - : Elsevier. - 2214-4366 .- 1389-0417. ; 39, s. 42-57
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In cognitive science, image schemas are identified as fundamental patterns of cognition. They are schematic prelinguistic conceptualisations of events and serve as conceptual building blocks for concepts. This paper proposes that image schemas can play an important role in computational concept invention, namely within the computational realisation of conceptual blending. We propose to build a library of formalised image schemas, and illustrate how they can guide the search for a base space in the concept invention work flow. Their schematic nature is captured by the idea of organising image schemas into families. Formally, they are represented as heterogeneous, interlinked theories.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In cognitive science, image schemas are identified as the fundamental patterns for the cognition of objects, which are perceived, conceptualised and manipulated in space and time. In this paper, we discuss a role for image schemas in computational concept creation. We propose to build a library of formalised image schemas, and illustrate how they can guide the search for a base space in the concept invention workflow.

The Diagrammatic Image Schema Language (DISL)
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Spatial Cognition and Computation. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1387-5868 .- 1573-9252.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Image schemas are mental patterns learned from perceptual experiences capturing conceptual constructions in expressions. In linguistic analysis, their visualizations are often context-dependent without a generalizable structure. Addressing this, we introduce The Diagrammatic Image Schema Language: a formal representation language that systematizes a set of visual combination rules for different conceptual primitives from the cognitive science literature. These primitives are distinguished from a formal point of view to allow for more general application. DISL also contains a logical exchange format in which the diagrams may be made machine-readable. Using DISL, the semantic structure of complex scenarios can be represented and computed.

Visualising image schemas : A preliminary look at the Diagrammatic Image Schema Language (DISL)
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the Sixth Image Schema Day 2022. - : CEUR-WS.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this extended abstract, we present the Diagrammatic Image Schema Language (DISL). DISL is a structured visual language to represent image-schematic relationships in different situations and linguistic expressions. Building on previous visualisation research, as well as how image schemas can be ontologically organised, DISL offers a more systematic representation language for abstract concepts than previously possible. In particular, we discuss some of the underlying motivations and design decisions for DISL and introduce the conceptual primitives that are covered by DISL. Their use is illustrated with the classic example of OBJECT_INTO_CONTAINER.

Ontology patterns with DOWL : The case of blending
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Description Logics 2016. - : CEUR-WS.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Distributed Ontology, Model, and Specification Language DOL provides logic-independent structuring, linking, and modularity constructs. Its homogeneous OWL fragment, DOWL, we argue, can be seen as an ideal language for formalising ontology patterns in description logics. It naturally consumes earlier formalisms such as C-OWL or DDL, and extends these with various expressive means useful for the modelling of patterns. To substantiate this, we illustrate DOWL's expressive power with a number of examples, including ontology design patterns, networks of ontologies, and ontology combinations. The latter are used to formalise conceptual blending, based on DOWL features such as renaming, filtering, forgetting, interpretation, and colimit computation.

Dissolving the Dichotomies Between Online and Campus-Based Teaching : a Collective Response to The Manifesto for Teaching Online (Bayne et al. 2020)
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Postdigital Science and Education. - : Springer. - 2524-4868 .- 2524-485X. ; , s. 271-329
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article is a collective response to the 2020 iteration of The Manifesto for Teaching Online. Originally published in 2011 as 20 simple but provocative statements, the aim was, and continues to be, to critically challenge the normalization of education as techno-corporate enterprise and the failure to properly account for digital methods in teaching in Higher Education. The 2020 Manifesto continues in the same critically provocative fashion, and, as the response collected here demonstrates, its publication could not be timelier. Though the Manifesto was written before the Covid-19 pandemic, many of the responses gathered here inevitably reflect on the experiences of moving to digital, distant, online teaching under unprecedented conditions. As these contributions reveal, the challenges were many and varied, ranging from the positive, breakthrough opportunities that digital learning offered to many students, including the disabled, to the problematic, such as poor digital networks and access, and simple digital poverty. Regardless of the nature of each response, taken together, what they show is that The Manifesto for Teaching Online offers welcome insights into and practical advice on how to teach online, and creatively confront the supremacy of face-to-face teaching.
