--- abstract: 'The aim of this paper is to describe a simple extension of semantic nets. In this formulation we have labelled nodes with directed arcs, but the directed arcs can lead to other arcs as well as nodes. In this model contexts are not differentiated as special objects, but rather that some nodes to a greater or lesser extent have roles as encoders of contextual information. This formulation is shown to be expressive enough to capture several aspects of context, namely: context-dependent inference, context specific learning, the selection of a relevant context and the generalisation of knowledge. Its strengths are its simplicity, the fact that it can relate and integrate several aspects of context and its connections with formal logic. It is not claimed that this is a model of any type of context found in human activity.' altloc: - http://www.cpm.mmu.ac.uk/cpmrep15.html chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: 'April, 1997' conference: European Conference on Cognitive Science confloc: 'Manchester, UK' contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Edmonds given: Bruce honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1997 date_type: published datestamp: 1998-08-07 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/05/12 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 512 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_postscript.png;/512/1/simconA4.ps|/style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/512/5/simcon.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: unpub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'context, learning, language, cognitive, models, networks, semantic nets, logic, representation' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:54:01 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: FALSE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 14 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:29:39 subjects: - cog-psy - comp-sci-art-intel - comp-sci-lang - comp-sci-mach-learn - ling-prag - phil-lang - phil-logic succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: A Simple-Minded Network Model with Context-like Objects type: confpaper userid: 192 volume: ~
