Exploring Values in Museum Artifacts in the SPICE project: a Preliminary Study
This document describes the rationale, the implementation and a preliminary evaluation of a semantic reasoning tool developed in the EU H2020 SPICE project to enhance the diversity of perspectives experienced by museum visitors.
A Storytelling Robot managing Persuasive and Ethical Stances via ACT-R: an Exploratory Study
We present a storytelling robot, controlled via the ACT-R cognitive architecture, able to adopt different persuasive techniques and ethical stances while conversing about some topics concerning COVID-19.
A Commonsense Reasoning Framework for Explanatory Emotion Attribution, Generation and Re-classification
We present DEGARI (Dynamic Emotion Generator And ReclassIfier), an explainable system for emotion attribution and recommendation.
Reasoning about Typicality and Probabilities in Preferential Description Logics
In this work we describe preferential Description Logics of typicality, a nonmonotonic extension of standard Description Logics by means of a typicality operator T allowing to extend a knowledge base with inclusions of the form T(C) v D, whose intuitive meaning is that normally/typically Cs are also Ds.
Heterogeneous Proxytypes Extended: Integrating Theory-like Representations and Mechanisms with Prototypes and Exemplars
The paper introduces an extension of the proposal according to which conceptual representations in cognitive agents should be intended as heterogeneous proxytypes.
A Description Logic Framework for Commonsense Conceptual Combination Integrating Typicality, Probabilities and Cognitive Heuristics
The proposed logic relies on the logic of typicality ALC TR, whose semantics is based on the notion of rational closure, as well as on the distributed semantics of probabilistic Description Logics, and is equipped with a cognitive heuristic used by humans for concept composition.
Representational Issues in the Debate on the Standard Model of the Mind
In this paper we discuss some of the issues concerning the Memory and Content aspects in the recent debate on the identification of a Standard Model of the Mind (Laird, Lebiere, and Rosenbloom in press).
MERALI at SemEval-2017 Task 2 Subtask 1: a Cognitively Inspired approach
In this paper we report on the participation of the MERALI system to the SemEval Task 2 Subtask 1.
TTCS$^\mathcalE$: a Vectorial Resource for Computing Conceptual Similarity
In this paper we introduce the TTCS$^{\mathcal{E}}$, a linguistic resource that relies on BabelNet, NASARI and ConceptNet, that has now been used to compute the conceptual similarity between concept pairs.
Conceptual Spaces for Cognitive Architectures: A Lingua Franca for Different Levels of Representation
In this paper we propose a reflection on the role that Conceptual Spaces, a framework developed by Peter G\"ardenfors [G\"ardenfors (2000)] more than fifteen years ago, can play in the current development of the Knowledge Level in Cognitive Systems and Architectures.
Artwork creation by a cognitive architecture integrating computational creativity and dual process approaches
The paper proposes a novel cognitive architecture (CA) for computational creativity based on the Psi model and on the mechanisms inspired by dual process theories of reasoning and rationality.
Some Epistemological Problems with the Knowledge Level in Cognitive Architectures
This article addresses an open problem in the area of cognitive systems and architectures: namely the problem of handling (in terms of processing and reasoning capabilities) complex knowledge structures that can be at least plausibly comparable, both in terms of size and of typology of the encoded information, to the knowledge that humans process daily for executing everyday activities.
Unveiling the link between logical fallacies and web persuasion
With the aim of empirically evaluating our hypothesis, we carried out a pilot study on a sample of 150 e-commerce websites.
