* October 1st, 2024

Speakers:

** Oliver Kutz, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. Title of the talk: Concepts, concept combinations, and the tooth operator.

Abstract: We will discuss some of the approaches to model concepts and concept combinations with the help of logic, and illustrate how such modelling approaches are capable (or not) of modelling aspects of human reasoning with concepts.
We will then explain the basic ideas underlying the framework of weighted description logics, also called perceptron or ‘tooth’ logic, and illustrate its key features and benefits for modelling and reasoning with concepts.

** Maria Hedblom, Jönköping University, Sweden. Title of the talk: Cognitive foundations for KR

Abstract: Some of the main cognitive theories for human conceptualisation and reasoning propose that there are a finite number of cognitive patterns laying the foundation for meaning and symbol grounding. Such patterns are essential in semantic modelling and could with benefits be knowledge representation. This introductory talk will present some perspectives on these cognitive patterns and relate them to formal theories in knowledge representation.
