Many interpretable AI approaches have been proposed to provide plausible explanations for a model's decision-making. However, configuring an explainable model that effectively communicates among computational modules has received less…
A first version of a multi-scale, multi-physic hybrid model --called virtual material-- for predictions on Self-Healing Ceramic Matrix Composite's (CMCs) lifetime is presented. The model has a mechanical and a chemical part, which are…
Turing Machines are universal computing machines in theory. It has been a long debate whether Turing Machines can simulate the consciousness mind behaviors in the materialistic universe. Three different hypotheses come out of such debate,…
[Spreadsheet] Models are invaluable tools for strategic planning. Models help key decision makers develop a shared conceptual understanding of complex decisions, identify sensitivity factors and test management scenarios. Different…
In branching simulation, a novel approach to simulation presented in this paper, a multiplicity of plausible scenarios are concurrently developed and implemented. In conventional simulations of complex systems, there arise from time to time…
This paper has a dual character, combining a philosophical ontological exploration with a conceptual modeling approach in systems and software engineering. Such duality is already practiced in software engineering, in which the current…
In the present work, we describe a framework for modeling how models can be built that integrates concepts and methods from a wide range of fields. The information schism between the real-world and that which can be gathered and considered…
Seam carving is a computational method capable of resizing images for both reduction and expansion based on its content, instead of the image geometry. Although the technique is mostly employed to deal with redundant information, i.e.,…
Process theories combine a graphical language for compositional reasoning with an underlying categorical semantics. They have been successfully applied to fields such as quantum computation, natural language processing, linear dynamical…
Motivated by ethical and legal concerns, the scientific community is actively developing methods to limit the misuse of Text-to-Image diffusion models for reproducing copyrighted, violent, explicit, or personal information in the generated…
We study a model of machine teaching where the teacher mapping is constructed from a size function on both concepts and examples. The main question in machine teaching is the minimum number of examples needed for any concept, the so-called…
In psychiatry, we often speak of constructing "models." Here we try to make sense of what such a claim might mean, starting with the most fundamental question: "What is (and isn't) a model?". We then discuss, in a concrete measurable sense,…
Recent work incorporates pre-trained word embeddings such as BERT embeddings into Neural Topic Models (NTMs), generating highly coherent topics. However, with high-quality contextualized document representations, do we really need…
In the present paper, we propose a new theory named "Theory of indeterminate natural transformation (TINT)" to investigate the dynamical creation of meanings as association relationships between images, focusing on the metaphor…
We present a framework that allows users to incorporate the semantics of their domain knowledge for topic model refinement while remaining model-agnostic. Our approach enables users to (1) understand the semantic space of the model, (2)…
A novel continuous-time framework is proposed for modeling neuromorphic image sensors in the form of an initial canonical representation with analytical tractability. Exact simulation algorithms are developed in parallel with closed-form…
Large language models have become multimodal, and many of them are said to integrate their modalities using common representations. If this were true, a drawing of a car as an image, for instance, should map to a similar area in the latent…
Temporal conceptual data modelling, as an extension to regular conceptual data modelling languages such as EER and UML class diagrams, has received intermittent attention across the decades. It is receiving renewed interest in the context…
In this work we analyze and address a fundamental restriction that blocks the reliable application of codimensional yarn-level and shell models with thickness, to simulate real-world woven and knit fabrics. As discretizations refine toward…
Modeling emotional-cognition is in a nascent stage and therefore wide-open for new ideas and discussions. In this paper the author looks at the modeling problem by bringing in ideas from axiomatic mathematics, information theory, computer…
