Abstract:

This paper compares the nascent theory of the ‘semiotic symbol’ in cognitive science with its computational relative. It finds that the semiotic symbol as it is understood in recent practical and theoretical work does not have the resources to explain the role of symbols in cognition. In light of this argument, an alternative model of symbol internalisation, based on Vygotsky, is put forward which goes further in showing how symbols can go from playing intersubjective communicative roles to intrasubjective cognitive ones. Such a formalisation restores the symbol’s cognitive and communicative dimensions to their proper roles.

Abstract:

In order to avoid critical misunderstandings, comprehension of warning symbols must be assessed prior to use. This study implemented a new method for testing warning symbols — a semantic relatedness task with paired-response contingent scoring. The participant views the symbol with a label and is asked whether the label conveys the meaning of the symbol. On some trials the label is correct whereas, on others, distractors are presented. A symbol is “understood” only if the respondent accepts the correct answer and rejects all alternatives. 48 participants were tested on twenty-eight warning symbols using a semantic relatedness task and a staged questionnaire (Davies et al., 1998). Three types of knowledge were assessed: 1) the symbol's verbal label, 2) required or prohibited actions, and 3) consequences of failing to comply. There was a strong correspondence in scores across the two methods. It is concluded that the semantic relatedness task is an attractive alternative to open-ended and multiple-choice test methods.

Abstract:

Purpose The effects of animation on naming and identification of graphic symbols for verbs and prepositions were studied in 2 graphic symbol sets in preschoolers. Method Using a 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 completely randomized block design, preschoolers across three age groups were randomly assigned to combinations of symbol set (Autism Language Program [ALP] Animated Graphics or Picture Communication Symbols [PCS]), symbol format (animated or static), and word class (verbs or prepositions). Children were asked to name symbols and to identify a target symbol from an array given the spoken label. Results Animated symbols were more readily named than static symbols, although this was more pronounced for verbs than for prepositions. ALP symbols were named more accurately than PCS in particular with prepositions. Animation did not facilitate identification. ALP symbols for prepositions were identified better than PCS, but there was no difference for verbs. Finally, older children guessed and identified symbols more effectively than younger children. Conclusions Animation improves the naming of graphic symbols for verbs. For prepositions, ALP symbols are named more accurately and are more readily identifiable than PCS. Naming and identifying symbols are learned skills that develop over time. Limitations and future research directions are discussed.

Abstract:

Nonmilitary subjects learned each of two types of foreground symbol sets (conventional symbols and iconic symbols) and were then shown a series of computer displays containing various symbol configurations. Each subject was required to search for specified foreground symbols under the conditions of high and low density of symbols, restricted and nonrestricted search, and pictorial versus nonpictorial target-symbol presentation. Iconic symbols yielded faster search times than conventional symbols under the condition of nonrestricted search and under the condition of nonpictorial target symbol presentation. These results suggest that iconic symbols are both easier to locate and easier to recall from memory. In addition, regardless of the type of symbology, high-density display increased search times. It was concluded that a system that incorporates both iconic symbols and selective call-up on foreground information would likely result in optimal human performance on search-related tasks.

Abstract:

Study of symbols or the theory of symbolism makes micro study of the culture. Symbols are the gestures, objects and language, which form the basis of human communication. Interpretation of symbol may differ according to the culture. At the same time a symbol may have one meaning in one culture another meaning in another culture. Symbols represent signs which are used to signify objects, real or imaginary. Symbols are arbitrary based on convention of culture. Interpretation of symbol depends on culture. Symbols are means of Communication of language, a form of ritual expression, cultural interpretation, expression of art and belief. Symbols should not be looked at in an abstract way and at meaning as constructed apart from human action but rather at the way meaning is constructed and used in the context of this action. Symbolism studies how a culture functions on the basis of its meanings, how a symbol is interpreted and so on. Symbolism studies the interrelationship between culture, language and people. Culture is constructed on the basis of different symbols. There are different meanings of symbols. The same symbol in different contexts may have different kinds of meanings. Symbols are directed by cultural norms. As cultural norms are diverse symbols too are multicoil, multifocal and multivariate and they can represent many things. Symbols do not necessarily have the same meaning in different context. Thick description by Clifford Geertz takes into account the fact that any aspect of human behavior has more than one meaning.

Abstract:

Learning mathematics requires fluency with symbols that convey numerical magnitude. Algebra and higher-level mathematics involve literal symbols, such as "x", that often represent numerical magnitude. Compared to other symbols, such as Arabic numerals, literal symbols may require more complex processing because they have strong pre-existing associations in literacy. The present study tested this notion using same-different tasks that produce less efficient judgments for different magnitudes that are closer together compared to farther apart (i.e., same-different distance effects). Twenty-four adolescents completed three same-different tasks using Arabic numerals, literal symbols, and artificial symbols. All three symbolic formats produced same-different distance effects, showing literal and artificial symbol processing of numerical magnitude. Importantly, judgments took longer for literal symbols than artificial symbols on average, suggesting a cost specific to literal symbol processing. Taken together, results suggest that literal symbol processing differs from processing of other symbols that represent numerical magnitude.

Abstract:

Graduated point symbols are viewed as an appropriate choice for many thematic maps of data associated with point locations. Areal quantitative data, reported by such enumeration units as countries, are frequently presented with choropleth maps but are also well suited to point symbol representations. Our objective is to provide an ordered set of examples of the many point-symbol forms used on maps by showing symbols with linear, areal, and volumetric scaling on repeated small maps of the same data set. Bivariate point symbols are also demonstrated with emphasis on the distinction between symbols appropriate for comparison (separate symbols) and those appropriate for proportional relationships (segmented symbols). In this paper, the variety of point symbol use is described, organized, and encourage, as is research on these varied symbols and their multivariate forms.

Abstract:

AbstractOne holistic thesis about symbols is that a symbol cannot exist singly, but only as apart of a symbol system. There is also the plausible view that symbol systems emerge gradually in an individual, in a group, and in a species. The problem is that symbol holism makes it hard to see how a symbol system can emerge gradually, at least if we are considering the emergence of a first symbol system. The only way it seems possible is if being a symbol can be a matter of degree, which is initially problematic. This article explains how being a cognitive symbol can be a matter of degree after all. The contrary intuition arises from the way a process of interpretation forces an all-or-nothing character on symbols, leaving room for underlying material to realize symbols to different degrees in a way that Daniel Dennett's work can help illuminate. Holism applies to symbols as interpreted, while gradualism applies to how the underlying material realizes symbols.

Abstract:

Recent work has shown that recognizing point symbols is an essential task in the field of map digitization. For the identification of symbols, it is generally necessary to compare the symbols with a specific criterion and find the most similar one with each known symbol one by one. Most of the works can only identify a single symbol, a small number of works are to deal with multiple symbols simultaneously with a low recognition accuracy. Given the two deficiencies, this paper proposes a deep transfer learning architecture, where the task is to learn a symbol classifier with AlexNet. For the insufficient dataset, we develop a method for transfer learning that uses a MNIST dataset to pretrain the model, which makes up for the problem of small training dataset and enhances the generalization of the model. Before the recognition process, preprocessing the point symbols in the map to coarse screening out the areas suspected of point symbols. We show a significant improvement over using point symbol images to keep a high performance in being able to deal with many more categories of symbols simultaneously.

Abstract:

The primary objective of this creative project is to explore the meaning and complexity of simple forms, also referred to as symbols. The project examines symbols that interest me. These symbols may be found in various cultures and subcultures throughout the world. I also designed symbols to describe weather phenomena.I have provided a thematic interpretation of my work, focusing on the themes of identity and spirituality. When people view my work they may have multiple interpretations, but a thematic explanation of each piece also provides information for the viewer to ponder. The paper also includes a discussion of work by other artists and ideas that have informed and developed my prints. This body of work required traditional printmaking techniques such as: intaglio, deep etching, chine cone, color printing and photomechanical transfer using imagON photopolymer film.

Abstract:

Idag använder spelindustrin flertalet metoder för att leda spelare igenom spel som färg- och ljussättning och användandet av former. Denna uppsats fokuserar på det sist nämnda och försöker besvara frågan: I valet mellan simpla symboler, finns det en specifik symbol som spelare föredrar att följa och vad assosierar de med denna symbol? För att besvara denna fråga skapades ett test som undersökte spelares val då de presenterades för tre symboler, en cirkel, en triangle och en fyrkant. Testet var en spelprototyp som bestod av en korridor, vilket var spelets inlärnings område, och ett rum med tre dörrar, vilket var det huvudsakliga testet. Testet visade att det inte fanns en viss symbol som spelare följde mer än någon av de andra, men att associationerna med symbolerna verkar stämma överrens med tidigare studiers förklaring av vad symbolerna står för. Detta visar på att att symbolerna kan användas inom speldesign för att framföra meddelanden till spelaren och hjälpa till att leda dem i nya områden.
Presently the video game industry uses a number of methods to lead the players though the games such as colours, lights and shapes. This thesis focuses on shapes and tries to answer the question: In choosing between basic symbols is there a particular symbol that players prefer tofollow and what do they associate with that symbol? In order to answer this question we created an experiment in which we tested how test subjects respond to three primitive shapes, triangles, circles and squares. The experiment consisted of a corridor with a door in one end, acting as the controls tutorial, and a room with three doors which was the actual experiment. Our test shows that there is not a certain symbol that the test subjects prefer to follow, but that the associations to the symbols seem to be true in comparison to earlier made studies on what these symbols are viewed to represent. This points at the possibility that the symbols can be used in game design to convey messages to the players and be used to guide the players in new environments.

Abstract:

According to Onkvisit and Shaw (1987), many products and possessions can be perceived as extensions of consumers' self-identity. Some consumers might even try to enhance their image through conspicuous or status consumption. According to Mosteller (2008), possessing a pet is closely related to the theory of the extended self. Among other types of conspicuously consumed goods, rare or unusual animals may be purchased to satisfy the consumer's need for status (Hirschman, 1994). In 2011, more than 70 million households in Europe kept a pet. The direct and indirect industry of pet breeders, veterinarians etc. creates more than half a million jobs throughout Europe. Although in recent years many studies have been conducted from psychological or medical point of view of companion animals' and their owners' interactions, the academic knowledge from consumer behaviour perspective is still scarce. Authors of this thesis employed attitudes, various self and conspicious consumption theories in order to dig deeper into the topic of pets as status symbols, in particular rare and pure-bred cats and dogs. With the help of convenience sampling technique, internet survey was distributed. Authors questioned 165 students in Jönköping International Business School and created a data sample which was later used in statistical analysis. By combining descriptive statistics, Principal component analysis and Cluster analysis, a research design for the topic at hand was developed, which allowed to squeeze out every bit of valuable information. According to the statistical analysis, four most important factors influencing pet-related conspicuous consumption are (in order of importance): Ostentation, Social Recognition, Conformity and Materialistic Indulgence. With regards to these factors, all participants were grouped in four clusters: Blue Blooded People, Indifferent Boasters, Status Candidates and Approval Seekers. This research design resulted in vast array of managerial implications and creation of academic knowledge in respective consumer behaviour field.

Abstract:

At present there is no complete algorithm for the calculation of the coupling or recoupling factors of an arbitrary compact group. However, this thesis is based on the premise that the 6j can be calculated using only the Kronecker product rules for the group and the general relations between 6j. We review the symmetry properties of the 6j symbols and choose a set of values for the permutation matrices of a mixed symmetry triad. An algorithm is presented for the recursive calculation of coupling and recoupling factors in terms of the primitive factors. This algorithm is shown to be complete. It is then shown how this algorithm may be applied to a larger class of group theoretic transformation factors. The primitive 6j are then split into four classes. This allows us to specify complete algorithms for the calculation of all but one of these classes. This is a major advance since it was previously necessary to systematically try all equations in order to solve an unknown 6j. We conjecture that our algorithm for the calculation of the fourth class of primitive 6j, the core 6j, is complete, although we are only able to prove this for SO₃. As a consequence we discuss the various special cases that occur in groups more complex than SO₃, starting with the point groups. New results are given for the groups G₂ and E₈, and the 6j for the mixed symmetry finite group K₂₀ are completely solved. The data structures necessary for the implementation of the algorithms in a PASCAL program are discussed, along with the algorithms required to calculate the symmetrised powers of an irrep.

Abstract:

I am investigating the significance of historic events of flight through image making; particularly incidents that captured the collective imagination and became part of our cultural memory. These events have surpassed mere entries in historical texts and become mythic. In the terms of Jungian psychology, they have become symbolic. In terms of Semiotics, they have become signs. Through photographs and installation, I seek to understand their presence in my, and our, unconscious mind.

Abstract:

Batman has become a fixture in the popular consciousness of America. Since his first publication in Detective Comics #27 in 1939, he has never ceased publication, appearing in multiple titles every month as well as successfully transitioning into other media such as film and television. A focused analysis of the character will reveal that Batman has achieved and maintained this cultural resonance for almost seventy years by virtue of attaining the status of a postmodern American mythology. In both theme and function, Batman has several direct connections to ancient mythology and has adapted that form into a distinctly American archetype. And as a popular cultural symbol, he has shown remarkable malleability to reflect the attitudes of his contemporary culture. An examination of Batman's enduring and changing characteristics will reveal insights into American values, culture and history during the twentieth and into the twenty-first centuries.

Abstract:

Symbolic communication is an interdisciplinary field that investigates the meaning and function of symbols in the communication process. Within the framework of symbolic communication studies, symbols are seen as tools individuals employ to convey meanings and values. As a crucial cultural artifact and visual medium, film combines various symbolic elements—including imagery, sound, and plot—to create a distinctive and intricate symbolic system, thus conveying specific meanings through symbol construction. In the films of Angelopoulos, the allure of “symbolic symbolism” is reflected through flowing long shots, captivating mise-en-scène, the manipulation of time, layered spaces with poetic overlays, a blank film reel, the emergence of a giant sculpture hand from the sea, thundering trains, alienating narrative structures, obscure metaphorical symbols, and unique poetic aesthetics. These key elements encompass the crux of deciphering Angelopoulos’ films. The analysis of symbolic symbolism in Angelopoulos’ films can be approached from different perspectives.Firstly, one can utilize the basic model of symbolic communication as a framework for research. This model encompasses six elements that constitute any communicative event. These consist the elements of the speaker and listener, who are the primary participants in symbolic communication. The element of information represents the content conveyed through symbols. Code elements give form to information. In the process of communication, not only the information itself is needed, but also contact elements are needed. Contact media can take various forms. Additionally, both speaker and listener must share a context within which the transmitted information can be comprehended. In the context of Angelopoulos’ films, the films themselves function as the “speaker,” while the audience assumes the role of the “listener”. Furthermore, the specific film products and services constitute the information being communicated, embodying the purpose and communication needs. Contact pertains to the media and settings employed in film communication, while codes encompass the symbolic forms of film, such as words, sounds, images, and colors. Symbolic communication in film is additionally influenced by cultural, social, and historical backgrounds, which may cause symbols to assume differing meanings and interpretations within contexts and for distinct cultural audiences. Secondly, Bakhtin’s theory of symbols suggests that symbolic cognition involves a process of decoding, which comprises four cognitive stages: symbol perception, conceptual cognition, contextual cognition, and dynamic dialogue. By analyzing the narrative structure employed in Angelopoulos’ films, one can construct a word cloud of pertinent cognition through semi-structured interviews and literature research. This approach yields a discussion of the specific visual, tactile, auditory, gustatory, and other symbolic symbolism techniques utilized within the functional spectrum of each narrative stage.In conclusion, the creation of symbolic meaning in Angelopoulos’ films, when viewed through the lens of symbolic communication, represents a multifaceted and diverse process. It encompasses the polysemy, combination, and organization of symbolic elements, alongside the influence of cultural, social, and historical backgrounds. An in-depth exploration of the construction of symbolic meaning in films enables a profound comprehension of the symbolic symbolism employed by Angelopoulos and the consequential impact and significance on the audience.

Abstract:

The Symbolist literary movement emerged in Romania in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, heavily influenced by French Symbolism and the works of poets like Baudelaire and Rimbaud. Romanian Symbolism was characterized by a focus on subjective experience, mysticism, and the use of symbols and metaphors to convey deeper meanings. Prominent Romanian Symbolist poets and writers included George Bacovia, Ion Minulescu, and Alexandru Macedonski.

Abstract:

Computer Aided Design (CAD) software can be difficult to learn. A major contributor to this entry barrier is CAD interfaces’ usage of symbols associated with CAD operations. This paper studies which symbols minimize recall time and optimize retention via two studies. We performed an initial exploratory study to identify which 2D symbols intuitively describe common CAD operations. Then we conducted a second study with three separate groups using different input methods to test which input method improves retention and recall time. Each group used one of three input methods: choosing preexisting Autodesk CAD operation symbols, choosing our 2D symbols derived from the symbol study, and physically drawing those same symbols. We measured participants’ accuracy and time spent on each question. The results indicated that there is a decrease in the time taken to submit responses, which correlates to recall time. The group physically drawing the symbols improved the most compared to the group selecting the symbol study symbols and the group selecting Autodesk operation icons. For retention, as measured by correctness, our statistical analysis indicates that there does not appear to be a significant difference between the three groups.

Abstract:

In the widespread endeavour to standardize a vocabulary for design, the semantics for the terms, especially at the detailed levels, are often defined based on the exigencies of the implementation. In human usage, each symbol has a wide range of associations, and any attempt at definition will miss many of these, resulting in brittleness. Human flexibility in symbol usage is possible because our symbols are learned from a vast experience of the world. Here we propose the very first steps towards a process by which CAD systems may acquire symbols is by learning usage patterns or image schemas grounded on experience. Subsequently, more abstract symbols may be derived based on these grounded symbols, which thereby retain the flexibility inherent in a learning system. In many design tasks, the “good designs” lie along regions that can be mapped to lower dimensional surfaces or manifolds, owing to latent interdependencies between the variables. These low-dimensional structures (sometimes called chunks) may constitute the intermediate step between the raw experience and the eventual symbol that arises after these patterns become stabilized through communication. In a multi-functional design scenario, we use a locally linear embedding (LLE) to discover these manifolds, which are compact descriptions for the space of “good designs”. We illustrate the approach with a simple 2-parameter latch-and-bolt design, and with a 8-parameter universal motor.

Abstract:

Neuro-Symbolic (NeSy) integration combines symbolic reasoning with Neural Networks (NNs) for tasks requiring perception and reasoning. Most NeSy systems rely on continuous relaxation of logical knowledge, and no discrete decisions are made within the model pipeline. Furthermore, these methods assume that the symbolic rules are given. In this paper, we propose Deep Symboilic Learning (DSL), a NeSy system that learns NeSy-functions, i.e., the composition of a (set of) perception functions which map continuous data to discrete symbols, and a symbolic function over the set of symbols. DSL simultaneously learns the perception and symbolic functions while being trained only on their composition (NeSy-function). The key novelty of DSL is that it can create internal (interpretable) symbolic representations and map them to perception inputs within a differentiable NN learning pipeline. The created symbols are automatically selected to generate symbolic functions that best explain the data. We provide experimental analysis to substantiate the efficacy of DSL in simultaneously learning perception and symbolic functions.

Abstract:

Lebanon is blessed with a rich and diverse flora, and the distance varies between flowers and people in Lebanon. We find some varieties that still adorn the plains and valleys from afar, while others are of interest to the Lebanese and are planted in their gardens either for treatment and food or for aesthetic purposes. Cultural anthropology has been interested in studying the relationship between humans and plants through a special cognitive discipline called ethnobotany. Through this discipline, we can study flowers in society, where special relationships arose between humans and flowers. They adopted them in social life, gave them various symbolic meanings, and exchanged them on various occasions, used them in economy, incorporated them in popular culture, and this gave the flowers a role and function in society. Humans consider flowers to have their language, where each flower has a specific symbol. The red rose is associated with love and the yellow with jealousy, and so on… Symbols are used to link active social elements together, through various means of communication that they put at their disposal. We can say that flowers are one of the means of communication that connect people. A group of people are interested in flowers and knowing their symbolic meanings more than other groups in society. Cultural openness has led to a new distribution of flowers, where their use has varied from the past, the types of flowers used have changed, and the shape of the bouquet has also changed, all in line with the requirements of the era. This research paper aims to demonstrate the meanings, symbols, and effects of flowers in society, how their types change between different occasions and generations, and show the differences between types of flowers among social classes, where the terms as

Abstract:

National symbols, traditions, and rituals emerge as the most influential signifiers of national identity and nationalism. These symbols and images that embody the basic concepts of nationalism, make them visible to other members of society, help to make abstract ideologies more socially concrete, strengthen the sense of national loyalty and strengthen the awareness of the members of the community that they belong to the same nation. On the other hand, Atatürk appears as a symbol of both Turkey’s modernization process and Turkish unity and solidarity. Focusing on the representations of Atatürk as one of the national symbols on the internet and social media, this research examines symbolic construction of national identity of NGOs that represent different social groups in Turkey through the “November 10, Atatürk Commemoration Day”. In this context, the 10 November 2019 posts of 38 Non-Governmental Organizations, which operate in different fields, are the most followed and have social, cultural, and economic activity on the society, were analyzed on Instagram. Shared visuals were used to categorize with the help of various codes assigned to them. Thematization method was used to characterize the types of photos posted on Instagram with embedded coding. Then, by combining very close codes, they were also subjected to clustering analysis in order to see which symbols are frequently used together and which meaning patterns they form. The findings of the study show that social media, which is often depicted as the space of global identities and flows, is a space where national identities are eclectically reconstructed by subjects and social groups that make up the nation and circulated through symbols.

Abstract:

Equational unification is a generalization of syntactic unification in which semantic properties of function symbols are taken into account. For example, assume that the function symbol '+' is known to be commutative. Given the unication problem x + y ≐ a + b (where x and y are variables, and a and b are constants), an algorithm for syntactic unification would return the substitution {x ↦ a; y ↦ b} as the only (and most general) unifier: to make x + y and a + b syntactically equal, one must replace the variable x by a and y by b. However, commutativity of '+' implies that {x ↦ b; y ↦ b} also is a unifier in the sense that the terms obtained by its application, namely b + a and a + b, are equal modulo commutativity of '+'. More generally, equational unification is concerned with the problem of how to make terms equal modulo a given equational theory, which specifies semantic properties of the function symbols that occur in the terms to be unified.

Abstract:

Recently, a lot of research has combined description logics (DLs) of the DL-Lite family with temporal formalisms. Such logics are proposed to be used for situation recognition and temporalized ontology-based data access. In this report, we consider DL-Lite-LTL, in which axioms formulated in a member of the DL-Lite family are combined using the operators of propositional linear-time temporal logic (LTL). We consider the satisfiability problem of this logic in the presence of so-called rigid symbols whose interpretation does not change over time. In contrast to more expressive temporalized DLs, the computational complexity of this problem is the same as for LTL, even w.r.t. rigid symbols.
