The UAVs path planning in multiple missions involves the solution of an optimization problem. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are well applied to solve such problems as a stochastic search method. In this paper, a new method based on genetic algorithm is presented to generate path for UAV in the existence of unknown obstacle environments. The path planning model is based on 2D digital map, and an adaptive evolutionary planner is adopted based on a set of criteria to generate path online to avoid being detected by ground surveillance radar sites. Simulation studies are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. We believe the GA algorithm may be of help in the future reseach direction of UAV path planning problem.","PeriodicalId":427778,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114942803","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}

One of the hallmarks of rational behaviors in decision-making process is embodied in how to cope with inconsistency. Building cognitive computing systems for real world applications amounts to developing systems that possess bounded rationality. In this paper, we examine how bounded rationality is exhibited in the human cognitive capabilities in handling inconsistency and propose an initial theory on how to incorporate those capabilities into cognitive computing systems. In particular, we focus our attention on two important phenomena: rational-but-inconsistent circumstances, and irrational-but-consistent circumstances. The main contribution of the work lies in the fact that we shed some new light on the interplay between bounded rationality and inconsistency.","PeriodicalId":427778,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123107947","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 addition, we expect that the blending of linguistic logic and musical logic leads to the unexpected narrative creation. This is also relating to a general idea that the creation of a novel product or idea is sometimes produced by the fusion of different things or ideas. This paper shows the newest prototyping system composed of eight transformation modules including automatic composition process and musical variation process. The objective of this system is to implement all of circulation routes experimentally with the revision of existing music-based programs.

The author previously developed a computational model that predicts the potency-magnitude relations of eWOM messages involving subjective rank expressions, which refer to the linguistic representations related to the attitude-levels of the benefits of product attributes. This paper extends the typology of eWOM messages and investigates mathematically potency-magnitude relations with a focus on intensified comparative expressions, which involve the “degree” of the differences between two or more objects. The investigations include the developments of a Q-magnitude Relation Map (Q-Map) and a Priority Message-Class Map (P-Map), which illustrate how the relations change based on the values of two evaluation parameters: evaluation target size and evaluation scale size. The effects of the messages involving intensified comparative expressions are discussed from the viewpoint of eWOM message filtering agents that promote consumer product evaluations. The investigations were performed first under the premise of a strict assumption called an interval assumption and the results were then verified and discussed under the premise of a conservative assumption called a surjection assumption.","PeriodicalId":427778,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing","volume":"26 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121008065","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}

Traditional maps are found easily conveying the configuration of spatial objects but having difficulty to facilitate the correspondence to spatial objects in the real world. Sketch maps as schematic map-like representations, have been suggested being a possible way of achieving goals of facilitating both navigation and spatial awareness. Moreover, sketch maps as externalizations of cognitive maps have been proved as reliable representations for human spatial thinking. In this study, we investigate the characteristics of directions given in two different forms: sketch maps and turn-by-turn instructions (verbal descriptions). The investigation addresses three aspects of spatial relations which are orientation, street topology and sequential order and their representations using qualitative reasoning calculi. The results of this study demonstrate sketch maps as a better direction-giving method and provide insights of applying sketch-map-like components for navigation.","PeriodicalId":427778,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing","volume":"21 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120859842","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 is particularly true in human communication. In recent days, the percentage of human-computer and computer-mediated communications is increasing in our life. In this situation, a computer is expected to understand the affects or emotions included in text. We have been working on this problem, i.e., textual affect sensing, for some years. As a related topic, textual sentiment analysis has been studied, where positive and negative sentences are typically extracted for Web opinion mining with respect to a specific issue or product. While the distinction between affect sensing and sentiment analysis is not necessarily clear in this field, I call here sentiment analysis when a sentence is classified into positive, negative or neutral one. Unlike this sort of sentiment analysis, our textual affect sensing detects more detailed affective or emotional states appearing in text, such as happy, sad, anger, fear, disgust, surprise and much more. We basically have developed the following two such models or systems so far: (A) The first one detects nine emotions using a set of rules implemented on the basis of a compositionality principle proposed for textual affect interpretation. This process includes symbolic cue processing, detection and transformation of abbreviations, sentence parsing, and word/phrase/sentence-level analyses. (B) The second one challenged to recognize 22 emotion types defined in the OCC (Ortony, Clore & Collins) emotion model, which is the most comprehensive emotion model and employs several cognitive variables including one relating to valenced reactions of events or agents. In this research, we have shown how these cognitive variables of the emotion model can be computed from linguistic components in text.","PeriodicalId":427778,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133174677","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}
