The closed room
The most significant model of reasoning to come out of Cognitive Science began with the early work of Newell and Simon (1972) on human problem solving and has developed into an architecture for cognition SOAR (Newell, 1990). A significant feature of this tradition in Cognitive Science is that it renders the cognitive as analytic. This article will analyze the assumptions of this tradition. A first set of arguments explores the consequences of the…
Some computational experiments in summarization
This paper relates the question of narrative summarization to thickness. Roughly, thickness refers to the density of inferred relations between concepts in the narrative as they persist during the reading of the text. We will describe a summarizer, SSS, that takes a piece of text and simplifies it—dethickens it—to produce a description of the events depicted in that text. SSS bases its summary of the story on an event concept coherence (ECC) anal…
