An active symbols theory of chess intuition
2005-05The well-known game of chess has traditionally been modeled in artificial intelligence studies by search engines with advanced pruning techniques. The models were thus centered on an inference engine manipulating passive ... -
An analysis of the associations among cognitive impulsiveness, reasoning process, and rational decision making
2018-01-12Impulsivity may lead to several unfortunate consequences and maladaptive behaviors for both clinical and nonclinical people. It has a key role in many forms of psychopathology. Although literature has discussed the negative ... -
Automated scientific discovery and hofstadter's fluid concepts model
2008In this talk we present the Fluid Concepts cognitive model, developed by Douglas Hofstadter and his students over the last 30 years. Models in the Fluid Concepts tradition aim to provide a psychologically plausible description ... -
Connections between cutting-pattern sequencing, VLSI design, and flexible machines
2002-10The minimization of open stacks problem (MOSP) arises on the sequencing of a set of cutting patterns in order to minimize the maximum number of open stacks around the cutting saw. A previous study formulated the problem ... -
Data mining of chess chunks: a novel distance-based structure
2003The use of psychological theories to model the chess game was discussed. The chess representation structure accounts for various features of human player's psychology such as the movement of eye saccades between related ... -
Data mining, Bongard problems, and the concept of pattern conception
2002The concept of pattern conception was discussed for categorization of data mining architectures. The difference between pattern conception and pattern recognition models lead to the categorization of information processing ... -
Dynamic sets of potentially interchangeable connotations: A theory of mental objects
2008Analogy-making is an ability with which we can abstract from surface similarities and perceive deep, meaningful similarities between different mental objects and situations. I propose that mental objects are dynamically ... -
The emergence of choice: decision-making and strategic thinking through analogies
2014Consider the chess game: When faced with a complex scenario, how does understanding arise in one's mind? How does one integrate disparate cues into a global, meaningful whole? How do players avoid the combinatorial explosion? ... -
The emergence of miller's magic number on a sparse distributed memory
2011-01-05Human memory is limited in the number of items held in one's mind-a limit known as 'Miller's magic number'. We study the emergence of such limits as a result of the statistics of large bitvectors used to represent items ... -
Entanglement of perception and reasoning in the combinatorial game of chess: differential errors of strategic reconstruction
2012-03We question Chase and Simon's (1973) study concerning the content of the chess chunks, and we conduct a new variation of the classic chess reconstruction experiments, analyzing 25 types of possible reconstruction errors ... -
How can experts see the invisible? Reply to Bilalić and Gobet
2009Experts in all fields are able to see what is invisible to others. Experts are also able to see what is visible to all-and this is explored by Bilalić and Gobet. We question the method of normalizing all subjects in an ... -
Internet search mechanisms and distortions of the semantic space: the scientific challenges facing the Googles
2007Ever since the launch of Altavista, internet search engines have become a multi-billion dollar industry, with fierce competition between Google and the three major competitors. One of the challenges involved is to rank ... -
Leilões eletrônicos reversos multiatributo: uma abordagem de decisão multicritério aplicada às compras públicas brasileiras
2007-09-01Auctions are secular institutions used in commercial relationships between individuals and organizations. They provide great flexibility to the purchasing process, increasing negotiations possibilities for buyers and ... -
Market entry of a low cost airline and impacts on the Brazilian business travelers
2005-03The wave of airline deregulation has brought out a worldwide phenomenon: low-cost carriers. A recent case is that of Brazil where after 3 years of operation Gol has 20% of the domestic market. The paper investigates whether ... -
Minimization of open orders: application of a re-distribution coordination policy
2004-03-16This work considers an NP-Hard scheduling problem that is fundamental to the production planning of flexible machines, to cutting pattern industries and also to the design of VLSI circuits. A new asynchronous collective ... -
A multiple-population evolutionary approach to gate matrix layout
2004-01-15This paper deals with a Very-Large-Scale Integrated systems design problem that belongs to the NP(Nondeterministic Polynomial)-hard class. The Gate Matrix Layout problem has numerous applications in the chip-manufacturing ... -
Questioning Chase and Simon's (1973) 'Perception in Chess': The 'experience recognition' hypothesis
2010Pattern recognition lies at the heart of the cognitive science endeavor. In this paper, we provide some criticism of this notion, using studies of chess as an example. The game of chess is, as significant evidence shows, ... -
Search intensity versus search diversity: a false trade off?
2010-06An implicit tenet of modern search heuristics is that there is a mutually exclusive balance between two desirable goals: search diversity (or distribution), i.e., search through a maximum number of distinct areas, and, ... -
Sparse distributed memory: understanding the speed and robustness of expert memory
2014-04-28How can experts, sometimes in exacting detail, almost immediately and very precisely recall memory items from a vast repertoire? The problem in which we will interested concerns models of theoritical neuroscience that could ... -
Theory of constraints and the combinatorial complexity of the product-mix decision
2009-09The theory of constraints (TOC) proposes that, when production is bounded by a single bottleneck, the best product mix heuristic is to select products based on their ratio of throughput per constraint use. This, however, ...
