Analyizing the Conjunction Fallacy as a Fact

no code implementations21 Feb 2024 Tomas Veloz, Olha Sobetska

Since the seminal paper by Tversky and Kahneman, the conjunction fallacy has been the subject of multiple debates and become a fundamental challenge for cognitive theories in decision-making.

Measuring Conceptual Entanglement in Collections of Documents

no code implementations20 Sep 2019 Tomas Veloz, Xiazhao Zhao, Diederik Aerts

Conceptual entanglement is a crucial phenomenon in quantum cognition because it implies that classical probabilities cannot model non--compositional conceptual phenomena.

Modeling Meaning Associated with Documental Entities: Introducing the Brussels Quantum Approach

no code implementations3 Aug 2018 Diederik Aerts, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

We show that the Brussels operational-realistic approach to quantum physics and quantum cognition offers a fundamental strategy for modeling the meaning associated with collections of documental entities.

Quantum cognition goes beyond-quantum: modeling the collective participant in psychological measurements

no code implementations24 Feb 2018 Diederik Aerts, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

In psychological measurements, two levels should be distinguished: the 'individual level', relative to the different participants in a given cognitive situation, and the 'collective level', relative to the overall statistics of their outcomes, which we propose to associate with a notion of 'collective participant'.

Towards a Quantum World Wide Web

no code implementations20 Mar 2017 Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguelles, Lester Beltran, Lyneth Beltran, Isaac Distrito, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

We elaborate a quantum model for the meaning associated with corpora of written documents, like the pages forming the World Wide Web.

Context and Interference Effects in the Combinations of Natural Concepts

no code implementations19 Dec 2016 Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran, Lyneth Beltran, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

The mathematical formalism of quantum theory exhibits significant effectiveness when applied to cognitive phenomena that have resisted traditional (set theoretical) modeling.

Testing Quantum Models of Conjunction Fallacy on the World Wide Web

no code implementations25 Sep 2016 Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran, Lyneth Beltran, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

Two major quantum approaches have been put forward: the first assumes that respondents use a two-step sequential reasoning and that the fallacy results from the presence of 'question order effects'; the second assumes that respondents evaluate the cognitive situation as a whole and that the fallacy results from the 'emergence of new meanings', as an 'effect of overextension' in the conceptual conjunction.

Quantum Cognition Beyond Hilbert Space I: Fundamentals

no code implementations27 Apr 2016 Diederik Aerts, Lyneth Beltran, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

The formalism of quantum theory in Hilbert space has been applied with success to the modeling and explanation of several cognitive phenomena, whereas traditional cognitive approaches were problematical.

Quantum cognition beyond Hilbert space II: Applications

no code implementations27 Apr 2016 Diederik Aerts, Lyneth Beltran, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

The research on human cognition has recently benefited from the use of the mathematical formalism of quantum theory in Hilbert space.

A New Fundamental Evidence of Non-Classical Structure in the Combination of Natural Concepts

no code implementations19 May 2015 Diederik Aerts, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

We recently performed cognitive experiments on conjunctions and negations of two concepts with the aim of investigating the combination problem of concepts.

Quantum Structure of Negation and Conjunction in Human Thought

no code implementations14 Mar 2015 Diederik Aerts, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

We analyse in this paper the data collected in a set of experiments performed on human subjects on the combination of natural concepts.

The Quantum Nature of Identity in Human Thought: Bose-Einstein Statistics for Conceptual Indistinguishability

no code implementations24 Oct 2014 Diederik Aerts, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

In this paper, we investigate a novel type of concept combination were a number is combined with a noun, e. g., `Eleven Animals.

Toward a Formal Model of the Shifting Relationship between Concepts and Contexts during Associative Thought

no code implementations29 Oct 2013 Tomas Veloz, Liane Gabora, Mark Eyjolfson, Diederik Aerts

The quantum inspired State Context Property (SCOP) theory of concepts is unique amongst theories of concepts in offering a means of incorporating that for each concept in each different context there are an unlimited number of exemplars, or states, of varying degrees of typicality.

Modeling the Role of Context Dependency in the Recognition and Manifestation of Entrepreneurial Opportunity

no code implementations18 Sep 2013 Murad A. Mithani, Tomas Veloz, Liane Gabora

The role of contextual-fit in the generation and development of ideas is modeled as the collapse of their superposition state into one of the potential states that composes this superposition.

The Quantum Challenge in Concept Theory and Natural Language Processing

no code implementations12 Jun 2013 Diederik Aerts, Jan Broekaert, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

The mathematical formalism of quantum theory has been successfully used in human cognition to model decision processes and to deliver representations of human knowledge.

Meaning-focused and Quantum-inspired Information Retrieval

no code implementations30 Mar 2013 Diederik Aerts, Jan Broekaert, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz

In recent years, quantum-based methods have promisingly integrated the traditional procedures in information retrieval (IR) and natural language processing (NLP).
