"Bart D'Hooghe" "Inspired by a quantum mechanical formalism to model concepts and their disjunctions and conjunctions, we put forward in this paper a specific hypothesis. Namely that within human thought two superposed layers can be distinguished: (i) a layer guided by an underlying classical deterministic process, giving rise to essentially logical thought and its indeterministic version modeled by classical probability theory; (ii) a layer guided by conceptual weights of different types, such as 'typicality', 'membership', 'representativeness', 'similarity', 'applicability', 'preference' or 'utility', giving rise to what we call 'conceptual thought', indeterministic in essence, but equally well, although very differently, organized than logical thought. A substantial part of the conceptual thought process can be modeled by quantum mechanical probabilistic structures. We consider examples of three specific domains of research where the effects of the presence of conceptual thought and its deviations from classical logical thought have been noticed and studied, i.e. economics, decision theory, and concept theories and which provide experimental evidence for our hypothesis." "Quantum and Concept Combination, Entangled Measurements, and Prototype Theory" "Diederik Aerts" "We analyze the meaning of the violation of the marginal probability law for situations of correlation measurements where entanglement is identified. We show that for quantum theory applied to the cognitive realm such a violation does not lead to the type of problems commonly believed to occur in situations of quantum theory applied to the physical realm. We briefly situate our quantum approach for modeling concepts and their combinations with respect to the notions of ""extension"" and ""intension"" in theories of meaning, and in existing concept theories." "A theoretical upgrade of the concept of parental psychological control: proposing new insights on the basis of self-determination theory" "Bart Soenens, Maarten Vansteenkiste" "Examining the role of (un)conscious determinants in online gambling : complementing the theory of planned behavior with the concept of habit" "Tony van Rooij, Mariek Vanden Abeele, Jan Van Looy" "Curbing domestic violence: instantiating C-K theory with formal concept analysis and emergent self organizing maps" "Jonas Poelmans, Paul Elzinga, Stijn Viaene, Guido Dedene" "In this paper we propose a human-centered process for knowledge discovery from unstructured text that makes use of Formal Concept Analysis and Emergent Self Organizing Maps. The knowledge discovery process is conceptualized and interpreted as successive iterations through the Concept-Knowledge (C-K) theory design square. To illustrate its effectiveness, we report on a real-life case study of using the process at the Amsterdam-Amstelland police in the Netherlands aimed at distilling concepts to identify domestic violence from the unstructured text in actual police reports. The case study allows us to show how the process was not only able to uncover the nature of a phenomenon such as domestic violence, but also enabled analysts to identify many types of anomalies in the practice of policing. We will illustrate how the insights obtained from this exercise resulted in major improvements in the management of domestic violence cases." "An iterative requirements engineering framework based on Formal Concept Analysis and C–K theory" "Jonas Poelmans, Guido Dedene, Monique Snoeck, Stijn Viaene" "In this paper, we propose an expert system for iterative requirements engineering using Formal Concept Analysis. The requirements engineering approach is grounded in the theoretical framework of C–K theory. An essential result of this approach is that we obtain normalized class models. Compared to traditional UML class models, these normalized models are free of ambiguities such as many-to-many, optional-to-optional or reflexive associations which cause amongst others problems at design time. FCA has the benefit of providing a partial ordering of the objects in the conceptual model based on the use cases in which they participate. The four operators of the C–K design square give a clear structure to the requirements engineering process: elaboration, verification, modification and validation. In each of these steps the FCA lattice visualization plays a pivotal role. We empirically show how the strategy works by applying it to a set of case studies and a modeling experiment in which 20 students took part." "The New Creatures of Difference: A Look at the Concept of Repetition Within Dissipative Systems Theory" "Robert King" "This essay also draws from inquiries in epistemology, systems theory, and evolutionary biology to examine the concept of repetition as a creature of difference. Here, repetition recasts traditional concepts of difference, identity, and change. Thus it should be no surprise that the work of Gilles Deleuze is a key reference. French philosopher Gilles Deleuze had perhaps gone furthest in endowing the problem of repetition with a measure of the impact it deserves to be credited with in contemporary thought. His Difference and Repetition offers one of the most sustained meditations on the concept of repetition in the history of Western philosophy, including in its relation to this tradition's concepts of difference and identity. Moreover, additional 20th century reflections on repetition, for instance, the systems theoretical framework of dissipative systems theory."
