The goal of this study is to reintegrate the theory of generative grammar into the cognitive
sciences. Generative grammar was right to focus on the child's acquisition of language as its …

Despite tremendous variation in the appearance of visual objects, primates can recognize a
multitude of objects, each in a fraction of a second, with no apparent effort. However, the …

Mental representations remain the central posits of psychology after many decades of
scrutiny. However, there is no consensus about the representational format (s) of biological …

The role of information systems (IS) as representations of real-world systems is changing in
an increasingly digitalized world, suggesting that conceptual modeling is losing its …

Mounting evidence suggests that 'core object recognition,'the ability to rapidly recognize
objects despite substantial appearance variation, is solved in the brain via a cascade of …

Troubling Vision addresses American culture's fixation on black visibility, exploring how
blackness is persistently seen as a problem in public culture and even in black scholarship …

This paper introduces a novel Gabor-Fisher (1936) classifier (GFC) for face recognition. The
GFC method, which is robust to changes in illumination and facial expression, applies the …

Handbook of Knowledge Representation describes the essential foundations of Knowledge
Representation, which lies at the core of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The book provides an up …

Understanding how biological visual systems recognize objects is one of the ultimate goals
in computational neuroscience. From the computational viewpoint of learning, different …

We introduce two appearance-based methods for clustering a set of images of 3D (three-
dimensional) objects, acquired under varying illumination conditions, into disjoint subsets …
