This paper presents a novel `Energy-Based' Knowledge Representation formalism (INTELNET) ideal for modeling, fusing, and reasoning about nuanced semantics, cultures, affects, and worldviews and advances a detailed example within the suicide terrorism domain.
Abstract
An increasingly important AI frontier is the ability to represent worldviews, culture, values, and other nuanced structures, and to simulate the effects of these on perception, emotion/affect, judgment, and opinion formation. Such information, however, is notably difficult to model and represent, due to its fine-grained, diffuse nature. Reasoning is also highly challenging in these domains. This paper presents a novel `Energy-Based' Knowledge Representation formalism (INTELNET) ideal for modeling, fusing, and reasoning about nuanced semantics, cultures, affects, and worldviews. It then introduces the integrated COGVIEW conscious/unconscious psychological simulation framework operating on top of INTELNET and advances a detailed example within the suicide terrorism domain. Applications include intelligent reasoning systems, humanitarian missions, cultural simulations, knowledge engineering, language processing, anti-discrimination and prejudice reduction, terrorism reduction, and norm change efforts, among others.

The present paper shows how the extended theory can account for results of several production experiments by Loftus, Juola and Atkinson's multiple-category experiment, Conrad's sentence-verification experiments, and several categorization experiments on the effect of semantic relatedness and typicality by Holyoak and Glass, Rips, Shoben, and Smith, and Rosch.

This review examines four broad areas of research within social cognitive neuroscience: (a) understanding others, (b) understanding oneself, (c) controlling oneself, and the processes that occur at the interface of self and others, and highlights two core-processing distinctions that can be neurocognitively identified across all of these domains.

A new conceptual model of the 2 processing modes is advanced, supported by psychological and neuropsychological evidence, that humans possess 2 memory systems and involves the intentional retrieval of explicit, symbolically represented rules from either memory system and their use to guide processing.
