The EEG signals are captured based on event-related potential (ERP) corresponding to button pushing and audio tone playback. Five temporal features extracted from the EEG signals, and two demographic features are used for ANN training and testing. The best classification accuracy of above 98.5% is achieved. Additional time-frequency features are extracted after applying wavelet transform to the ERP EEG signals for ANN classification. The research outcomes show that there is great potential in developing effective and subjective diagnosis tool for Schizophrenia based on EEG signals. Two software environments RStudio and MATLAB are used for the design of ANN classifiers. The latter offers more flexibility and design options such as training functions. The training performances are comparably measured.","PeriodicalId":212248,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 19th International Conference on Cognitive Informatics & Cognitive Computing (ICCI*CC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129153983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intelligent Mathematics (IM) is a category of contemporary denotational mathematics extending classic analytic mathematics as defined in real numbers (R). IM represents a collection of novel mathematical structures that formalizes rigorous expressions and manipulations on complex entities known as hyperstructures (H) beyond R. Instances of the complex entities in H include formal concepts, semantics, relations, knowledge, intelligence, behavioral processes, causality, inferences, and systems. Paradigms of IM developed in my lab include real-time process algebra (RTPA), concept algebra, semantic algebra, system algebra, inference algebra, fuzzy probability algebra, big data algebra, image frame algebra, and the causal probability theory, etc.This keynote speech presents the IM foundations of emerging intelligent science and AI paradigms. A set of novel IMs will be presented for rigorously manipulating complex cognitive entities in the brain and abstract intelligence including data, information, knowledge, and intelligence from the bottom up. IM will lead to the emergence of mathematical engineering (ME), which addresses the challenges in formal structural and functional modeling of complex mental objects and their rigorous manipulations in a wide range of applications such as cognitive robots, autonomous systems, intelligent IoT, and unmanned systems.","PeriodicalId":212248,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 19th International Conference on Cognitive Informatics & Cognitive Computing (ICCI*CC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116851465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The context-awareness of the supporting computers stems from the data acquisition of the occurring events at home. In some cases, different sensors provide input of identical type, thereby raising conflict-related issues. Thus, for each type of input data, fusion methods must be applied on the raw data to obtain a dominant input value. Also, for diagnostic inference purpose, data fusion methods must be applied on the values of the available classes of multiple contextual data structures. Dempster-Shafer theory offers the algorithmic tools to efficiently fuse the data of each input type or class. However, the fusion manipulations of large data volumes within strict time limits impose significant computational overhead. In the present work, threading technology is employed to take advantage of the processing capabilities of modern computers for the data fusion of the contextual parameter sensor readings, along with the selection of appropriate computing architectures and matching algorithms. The advantages offered by the proposed approach are presented and analyzed.","PeriodicalId":212248,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 19th International Conference on Cognitive Informatics & Cognitive Computing (ICCI*CC)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116058246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the relative sparseness of point clouds sampled in most practical applications make extracting information-rich features a major challenge. Traditionally, feature extraction algorithms resorted to structured feature engineering and used handcrafted representations for some specific problems. Motivated by the development of deep neural networks, many researchers started to handle the unstructured point clouds from the raw data samples of 3D scanning devices. Some important advantages that deep learning frameworks have over traditional feature engineering is generalizing complex features and associated semantic concepts in a hierarchical manner. Deep learning models have achieved significant landmarks in cognitive processing of speech, image, and video signals. However, unlike in 2D image processing, a 3D point cloud is irregular and sparse. Hence, traditional network frameworks are difficult to apply on 3D geometric data directly. In this paper, we propose to integrate a local point convolution network with spectral pooling to aggregate and learn features in 3D point clouds. The benefits of our framework are fast convergence and competitive performance on point cloud classification.","PeriodicalId":212248,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 19th International Conference on Cognitive Informatics & Cognitive Computing (ICCI*CC)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133901722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As humans, we are able to understand most of the misspelled words based on their location in the sentence, perceived pronunciation, and context. Unlike humans, computer systems do not possess the convenient auto complete functionality of which human brains are capable. While many programs provide spelling correction functionality, many systems do not take context into account. Moreover, Artificial Intelligence systems function in the way they are trained on. With many current Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems trained on grammatically correct text data, many are vulnerable against adversarial examples, yet correctly spelled text processing is crucial for learning. In this paper, we investigate how spelling errors can be corrected in context, with a pre-trained language model BERT. We present two experiments, based on BERT and the edit distance algorithm, for ranking and selecting candidate corrections. The results of our experiments demonstrated that when combined properly, contextual word embeddings of BERT and edit distance are capable of effectively correcting spelling errors.","PeriodicalId":212248,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 19th International Conference on Cognitive Informatics & Cognitive Computing (ICCI*CC)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134478009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This task has been described as “a valuable testing ground for the development of semantic representations” [1], and is a key component in natural language understanding evaluation benchmarks. Models that understand entailment should encode both, the premise and the hypothesis. However, experiments by Poliak et al. [2] revealed a strong preference of these models towards patterns observed only in the hypothesis, based on a 10 dataset comparison. Their results indicated the existence of statistical irregularities present in the hypothesis that bias the model into performing competitively with the state of the art. While recast datasets provide large scale generation of NLI instances due to minimal human intervention, the papers that generate them do not provide fine-grained analysis of the potential statistical patterns that can bias NLI models. In this work, we analyze hypothesis-only models trained on one of the recast datasets provided in Poliak et al. [2] for word-level patterns. Our results indicate the existence of potential lexical biases that could contribute to inflating the models’ performance.","PeriodicalId":212248,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 19th International Conference on Cognitive Informatics & Cognitive Computing (ICCI*CC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127483966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
