Semantic memory includes all acquired knowledge about the world and is the basis for
nearly all human activity, yet its neurobiological foundation is only now becoming clear.
Recent neuroimaging studies demonstrate two striking results: the participation of ...

Abstract The DBpedia community project extracts structured, multilingual knowledge from
Wikipedia and makes it freely available on the Web using Semantic Web and Linked Data
technologies. The project extracts knowledge from 111 different language editions of ...

We present YAGO2, an extension of the YAGO knowledge base, in which entities, facts, and
events are anchored in both time and space. YAGO2 is built automatically from Wikipedia,
GeoNames, and WordNet. It contains 447 million facts about 9.8 million entities. Human ...

To endow computers with common sense is one of the major long-term goals of artificial
intelligence research. One approach to this problem is to formalize commonsense reasoning
using mathematical logic. Commonsense Reasoning: An Event Calculus Based Approach ...

In development for thirty years, Soar is a general cognitive architecture that integrates
knowledge-intensive reasoning, reactive execution, hierarchical reasoning, planning, and
learning from experience, with the goal of creating a general computational system that ...

Using service-oriented decision support systems (DSS in cloud) is one of the major trends
for many organizations in hopes of becoming more agile. In this paper, after defining a list of
requirements for service-oriented DSS, we propose a conceptual framework for DSS in ...

In 2007, IBM Research took on the grand challenge of building a computer system that could
compete with champions at the game of Jeopardy! i. In 2011, the open-domain question-
answering (QA) system, dubbed Watson, beat the two highest ranked players in a ...

Abstract Understanding complex biological systems requires extensive support from
software tools. Such tools are needed at each step of a systems biology computational
workflow, which typically consists of data handling, network inference, deep curation, ...

Novel information processing techniques are being actively explored to overcome
fundamental limitations associated with CMOS scaling. A new paradigm of adaptive
electronic devices is emerging that may reshape the frontiers of electronics and enable ...

Abstract In this paper, the recent progress of synaptic electronics is reviewed. The basics of
biological synaptic plasticity and learning are described. The material properties and
electrical switching characteristics of a variety of synaptic devices are discussed, with a ...
