Understanding computational dialogue understanding
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2023In this paper, we first explain why human-like dialogue understanding is so difficult for artificial intelligence (AI). We discuss various methods for testing the understanding capabilities of dialogue systems. Our review of the development of dialogue systems over five decades focuses on the transition from closed-domain to open-domain systems and ...

On understanding understanding
International Studies in the Philosophy of Science, 1997Abstract It is argued, by use of specific examples, that mathematical understanding is something which cannot be modelled in terms of entirely computational procedures. Our conception of a natural number (a non‐negative integer: 0, 1, 2, 3,…) is something which goes beyond any formulation in terms of computational rules.

In this paper understanding abilities of the shape understanding system (SUS) are tested based on the adoption of the intelligence tests. The SUS tests are formulated as the tasks given to the system and performance of SUS is compared with the ...

Understand the cogs to understand cognition
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017AbstractLake et al. suggest that current AI systems lack the inductive biases that enable human learning. However, Lake et al.'s proposed biases may not directly map onto mechanisms in the developing brain. A convergence of fields may soon create a correspondence between biological neural circuits and optimization in structured architectures, allowing ...

Understanding Collection Understanding with Collage
2008A streaming collage visualization of images extracted from the collection's documents has been proposed as an effective tool for gaining a comprehensive overview of a digital library collection ("collection understanding"). A qualitative study provides insight into what users actually understand about a collection from viewing such a streaming collage.

Journal of Musicology, 1993Abstract Anthony is an anthropologist doing field-work on Mars. He notices that Martians laugh on occasion. They emit from time to time, out of the opening in their bodies from which they speak, a kind of staccato melisma. (I shall not enquire into how Anthony identifies this behaviour as laughter.) Anthony does not understand why they ...
