Understanding program understanding

Proceedings IWPC 2000. 8th International Workshop on Program Comprehension, 2000
It is well known that many software activities involve Program Understanding tasks. In fact, anyone working in Software Engineering is confronted with the task of understanding programs, at one level or another, in one form or another, and normally s/he succeeds rather well. However, we don't have any clear understanding of what ?to understand programs?

On Understanding Understanding

Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, 2014
Psychoanalytic understanding in its status as a hermeneutic activity is different from other forms of understanding. It is distinct, for instance, from psychodynamic psychotherapy, which may be able to establish itself as an empirical science. Empirical science deals with rules and establishes facts, while hermeneutic science deals with meanings, which

On Understanding the Understanding of Children

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1967
IN WHAT I have to say today I shall be both reporting and theorizing; reporting on some recent innovative work in education, and theorizing to explicate the presuppositions of the work and the implications of its findings. The scientific study of childhood intellectual development is, of course, a very complicated and manysided affair which I cannot ...

Understanding speech understanding

Proceedings of the 1998 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing, ICASSP '98 (Cat. No.98CH36181), 2002
Despite the significant theoretical and practical advances that have been made in automatic speech recognition, relatively little effort has been devoted to the evaluation of speech in an interactive multi-modal application interface. This paper introduces a general methodology for assessing speech-based systems and concludes with a proposal for a test

Understanding Scientific Understanding

2017
This book is about scientific understanding. It is widely acknowledged that a central aim of science is to achieve understanding of the world around us, and that possessing such understanding is highly important in our present-day society. But what does it mean to achieve this understanding? What precisely is scientific understanding?

Understanding computational dialogue understanding

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2023
In 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

Qualitative Inquiry, 1999
The phenomenon of understanding lies at the heart of the qualitative inquiry enterprise. Drawing on the tradition of philosophical hermeneutics, this article discusses the following four conditions under which understanding unfolds: (a) the difference between knowing and understanding; (b) understanding as learning rather than reading; (c ...

Understand the cogs to understand cognition

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017
AbstractLake 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 IN THE SHAPE UNDERSTANDING SYSTEM

International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence, 2004
Understanding is based on a large number of highly varied abilities called intelligence that can be measured. 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 ...

On understanding understanding

International Studies in the Philosophy of Science, 1997
Abstract 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.
