A narrative in three acts : Using combinations of image schemas to model events
- 2017
-
In: Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures. - : Elsevier. - 2212-683X .- 2212-6848. ; 19, s. 10-20
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Image schemas have been proposed as conceptual building blocks corresponding to the hypothesised most fundamental embodied experiences. We formally investigate how combinations of image schemas (or 'image schematic profiles') can model essential aspects of events, and discuss benefits for artificial intelligence and cognitive systems research, in particular concerning the role of such basic events in concept formation. More specifically, as exemplary illustrations and proof of concept the image schemas Object, Contact, and Path are combined to form the events Blockage, Bouncing, and Caused-Movement. Additionally, an outline of a proposed conceptual hierarchy of levels of modelling for image schemas and similar cognitive theories is given.

Modelling Functional Requirements in Spatial Design
- 2010
-
In: Conceptual Modeling - ER 2010. - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer. - 9783642163722 - 9783642163739 ; , s. 464-470

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We demonstrate the manner in which high-level design requirements, e.g., as they correspond to the commonsensical conceptualisation of expert designers, may be formally specified within practical information systems, wherein heterogeneous perspectives and conceptual commitments are needed. Focussing on semantics, modularity and consistency, we argue that our formalisation serves as a synergistic interface that mediates between the two disconnected domains of human abstracted qualitative/conceptual knowledge and its quantitative/precision-oriented counterpart within systems for spatial design (assistance). Our demonstration utilises simple, yet real world examples.

Ontological modelling of form and function for architectural design
- 2012
-
In: Applied Ontology. - : IOS Press. - 1570-5838 .- 1875-8533. ; 7:3, s. 233-267

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Form, function and the relationship between the two serve a crucial role in design. Within architectural design, key aspects of the anticipated function of buildings, or of spatial environments in general, are supposed to be supported by their structural form, i.e., their shape, layout, or connectivity. Whereas the philosophy of form and function is a well-researched topic, the practical relations and dependencies between form and function are only known implicitly by designers and architects. Specifically, the formal modelling of structural forms and resulting artefactual functions within design and design assistance systems remains elusive.In our work, we aim at making these definitions explicit by ontologically modelling respective domain entities, their properties and related constraints. We interpret "(structural) form" and "(artefactual) function" by specifying modular ontologies and their interplay for the architectural design domain. A key aspect in our modelling approach is the use of formal conceptual requirements and qualitative spatial calculi as a link between the structural form of a design and the differing functional capabilities that it affords or leads to. We demonstrate how our ontological modelling reflects types of architectural form and function, and how it facilitates the conceptual modelling of requirement constraints in architectural design.

Performance and characterization of the FinEstBeAMS beamline at the MAX IV Laboratory
- 2021
-
In: Journal of Synchrotron Radiation. - 0909-0495. ; 28, s. 1620-1630
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- FinEstBeAMS (Finnish-Estonian Beamline for Atmospheric and Materials Sciences) is a multidisciplinary beamline constructed at the 1.5 GeV storage ring of the MAX IV synchrotron facility in Lund, Sweden. The beamline covers an extremely wide photon energy range, 4.5-1300 eV, by utilizing a single elliptically polarizing undulator as a radiation source and a single grazing-incidence plane grating monochromator to disperse the radiation. At photon energies below 70 eV the beamline operation relies on the use of optical and thin-film filters to remove higher-order components from the monochromated radiation. This paper discusses the performance of the beamline, examining such characteristics as the quality of the gratings, photon energy calibration, photon energy resolution, available photon flux, polarization quality and focal spot size.

Between CONTACT and support : Introducing a logic for image schemas and directed movement

In: AI*IA 2017 Advances in Artificial Intelligence. - Cham : Springer. - 9783319701684 - 9783319701691 ; , s. 256-268

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 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
-
In: Journal of Artificial General Intelligence. - : Sciendo. - 1946-0163. ; 6:1, s. 21-54
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)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.

Conceptual puzzle pieces : An image schema experiment on object conceptualisation
- 2019
-
In: Modeling and Using Context. - Cham : Springer. - 9783030349738 - 9783030349745 ; , s. 98-111
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Image schemas were introduced as mental generalisations learned from the sensorimotor experiences in infancy that in adulthood shape language formation and conceptualisations. So far, little empirical research has been devoted to investigate to which degree image schemas are involved in object conceptualisation more concretely. To address this, this experimental study investigates the relationship between abstract image schemas and their involvement in conceptualisations of common, everyday objects. The experimental set-up asks participants to describe objects using abstract representations of image schemas. The results from the study support the claim that image-schematic thinking is prevalent in the conceptualisation of objects, thus providing empirical evidence for the idea that image schemas can serve as conceptual building blocks for the meaning of objects.
