The adaptation to that universe took place on the basis of incomplete and fragmentary information, limited cognitive capacities and narrow time. That scenario selected adaptive behaviors made of fast, imperfect, but highly effective cognitive solutions: heuristics. Although these natural logic tools are commonly studied in cognitive psychology - particularly in the field of judgment and decision-making - their application in Artificial Intelligence and computer simulation of cognition is disclosing prospects for the study of decision-making processes, starting with the classification of alternatives, in search algorithms, to make decisions on the basis of available information. Aim of this paper is to show how this logic is subtended by rules of inference strictly linked to the “natural” way of reasoning. And moreover, how these inferences could constitute, in the wider AI and ICT horizon, the test bench for the development of neural network representation and learning systems for the understanding of human action.","PeriodicalId":236400,"journal":{"name":"2020 11th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116075933","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 paper aims to analyse the relationship between multisensory integration and the qualitative dimension of consciousness. It will also focus on the way in which the individual modalities - visual, auditory, somatic and other inputs - are synthesized within a central-encephalic space of integration, giving new insights to Cognitive Infocommunications scientific field.","PeriodicalId":236400,"journal":{"name":"2020 11th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122318655","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}

Albeit Transformer based language models were shown to improve ASR performance, their computational complexity makes their application in real-time systems quite challenging. It has been also shown that the knowledge of such language models can be transferred to traditional n-gram models, suitable for real-time decoding. This paper investigates the adaptation of this transfer approach to morphologically rich languages, and in a real time scenario. We propose a new method for subword-based neural text augmentation with a Transformer language model, which consists in retokenizing the training corpus into subwords, based on a statistical data-driven approach. We demonstrate that ASR performance can be augmented by yet reducing the vocabulary size and alleviating memory consumption.","PeriodicalId":236400,"journal":{"name":"2020 11th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114488342","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}

In 29.20 percent of the dialogues, the detected segment boundary coincides with the actual segment boundary, and in 69.27 percent of the dialogues, the detected segment boundary either coincides with the actual boundary or is immediately preceded or succeeded by it.","PeriodicalId":236400,"journal":{"name":"2020 11th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128935772","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}
