Cognitive science

Cognitive science
Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the mind and its processes.[1] It examines what cognition is, what it does and how it works. It includes research on intelligence and behavior, especially focusing on how information is represented, processed, and transformed (in faculties such as perception, language, memory, reasoning, and emotion) within nervous systems (human or other animal) and machines (e.g. computers). Cognitive science consists of multiple research disciplines, including psychology, artificial intelligence, philosophy, neuroscience, linguistics, and anthropology.[2] It spans many levels of analysis, from low-level learning and decision mechanisms to high-level logic and planning; from neural circuitry to modular brain organization. The fundamental concept of cognitive science is "that thinking can best be understood in terms of representational structures in the mind and computational procedures that operate on those structures.

Mental process A specific instance of engaging in a cognitive process is a mental event. The event of perceiving something is, of course, different from the entire process, or capacity of perception—one's ability to perceive things. In other words, an instance of perceiving is different from the ability that makes those instances possible.

An archival record preserves data that is not intended to change. In order to be of value to society, archives must be trustworthy. Therefore, an archivist has a responsibility to authenticate archival materials, such as historical documents, and to ensure their reliability, integrity, and usability. An archive curator is called an archivist; the curation of an archive is called archive administration. Background[edit] History[edit] The earliest archival manuals: Jacob von Rammingen, Von der Registratur (1571), Baldassare Bonifacio, De Archivis (1632). Archival science emerged from diplomatics, the critical analysis of documents.[1][4] In 1540, Jacob von Rammingen (1510-1582) wrote the manuscript of the earliest known archival manual. Rammingen elaborated a registry for the Augsburg city council. Standards[edit]

8 façons de plaider efficacement en faveur de l'IA en entreprise De nombreuses recherches montrent que tous les secteurs d'activité sont prêts pour une révolution de l'IA, y compris le service à la clientèle, l'e-commerce, la gestion des produits et le marketing. Pour mieux comprendre comment les pionniers de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) peuvent efficacement positionner et promouvoir l'adoption de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) au sein de leur organisation, j'ai pris contact avec un pionnier de l'analyse, du Big Data et de l'IA qui a préconisé et mis en œuvre des technologies d'IA au cours de son illustre carrière. Ketan Karkhanis est vice-président senior et directeur général de Salesforce Analytics, où il est responsable de tous les aspects de l'activité analytique, notamment la stratégie produit, le marketing, l'ingénierie et la distribution. Ketan Karkhanis comprend la complexité, les avantages et les meilleures pratiques associés à l'adoption de l'intelligence artificielle et à la transformation numérique. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Cognitive Science 1. History Attempts to understand the mind and its operation go back at least to the Ancient Greeks, when philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle tried to explain the nature of human knowledge. The study of mind remained the province of philosophy until the nineteenth century, when experimental psychology developed. Wilhelm Wundt and his students initiated laboratory methods for studying mental operations more systematically. 2. Cognitive science has unifying theoretical ideas, but we have to appreciate the diversity of outlooks and methods that researchers in different fields bring to the study of mind and intelligence. Although theory without experiment is empty, experiment without theory is blind. While some linguists do psychological experiments or develop computational models, most currently use different methods. Cognitive anthropology expands the examination of human thinking to consider how thought works in different cultural settings. 3. 4. 4.1 Formal logic 4.2 Rules 4.5 Images

The 16 Type Patterns *Adapted from Linda V. Berens and Dario Nardi, Understanding Yourself and Others: An Introduction to the Personality Type Code (Used with permission) There are 16 Personality Types. The Roles of the Processes In each of the sixteen types, each of the eight processes plays a different "role" in the personality. The type code lets you know what role each process plays for each type. It is also referred to as the "hierarchy of functions": Dominant, Auxiliary, Tertiary, and Inferior. The roles are explained below to help you better understand the patterns. In truth, we have access to all eight cognitive processes—the other six are often in the background, playing other kinds of roles. The Primary Processes The primary processes are those used in the first four roles. Each process tends to emerge and develop at different times in our lives. The Leading Role (Dominant) (sometimes referred to as the 1st function) Being the most trusted and most used, it usually has an adult, mature quality to it.

Mental representation Hypothetical internal cognitive symbol that represents external reality A mental representation (or cognitive representation), in philosophy of mind, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science, is a hypothetical internal cognitive symbol that represents external reality,[1] or else a mental process that makes use of such a symbol: "a formal system for making explicit certain entities or types of information, together with a specification of how the system does this".[2] Mental representation is the mental imagery of things that are not actually present to the senses.[3] In contemporary philosophy, specifically in fields of metaphysics such as philosophy of mind and ontology, a mental representation is one of the prevailing ways of explaining and describing the nature of ideas and concepts. Representational theories of mind[edit] Representationalism (also known as indirect realism) is the view that representations are the main way we access external reality. Responses[edit]

Curator Curator responsibilities[edit] In smaller organizations, a curator may have sole responsibility for the acquisition and care of objects. The curator will make decisions regarding what objects to take, oversee their potential and documentations, conduct research based on the collection and history that provides proper packaging of art for transportation, and shares that research with the public and community through exhibitions and publications. In very small volunteer-based museums, such as local historical societies, a curator may be the only paid staff member. In larger institutions, the curator's primary function is as a subject specialist, with the expectation that he or she will conduct original research on objects and guide the organization in its collecting. In Scotland, the term "curator" is also used to mean the guardian of a child. More recently, advances in new technologies have led to a further widening of the role of curator.

Nouveau monde. Pourquoi les assistants vocaux ont besoin d’écoutes humaines William Simonin dirige la startup française Vivoka, spécialisée dans la reconnaissance vocale. Il explique pourquoi l’intervention humaine reste nécessaire pour améliorer l’intelligence artificielle même si cela soulève des craintes en matière de vie privée. franceinfo : Faut-il se méfier des assistants vocaux ? William Simonin : je n’irai pas jusqu’à dire qu’il faut s’en méfier mais il faut bien comprendre comment ça marche. La reconnaissance vocale fait appel à un "moteur" logiciel appelé Speech To Text (STT), qui convertit la parole en texte écrit. Cependant, là où il faut se méfier, ou au moins se renseigner, c’est lorsqu’il s’agit d’entreprise ayant un modèle économique axé sur la donnée, ce qui est typiquement le cas de Google. Comment fonctionne votre assistant vocal ? Chez Vivoka, nous développons uniquement des assistants vocaux sur mesure pour les entreprises. Un assistant vocal non connecté est-il moins performant ?
