Computation and Cognition
The question, "What is Cognitive Science?" is often asked but seldom answered to anyone's satisfaction. Until now, most of the answers have come from the new breed of philosophers of mind. This book, however, is written by a distinguished psychologist and computer scientist who is well-known for his work on the conceptual foundations of cognitive science, and especially for his research on mental imagery, representation, and perception.In Computation and Cognition, Pylyshyn argues that computation must not be viewed as just a convenient metaphor for mental activity, but as a literal empirical hypothesis. Such a view must face a number of serious challenges. For example, it must address the question of "strong equivalents" of processes, and must empirically distinguish between phenomena which reveal what knowledge the organism has, phenomena which reveal properties of the biologically determined "functional architecture" of the mind. The principles and ideas Pylyshyn develops are applied to a number of contentious areas of cognitive science, including theories of vision and mental imagery. In illuminating such timely theoretical problems, he draws on insights from psychology, theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and psychology of mind.A Bradford Book

Handbook of Inclusive Knowledge Management
Handbook of Inclusive Knowledge Management: Ensuring Inclusivity, Diversity, and Equity in Knowledge Processing Activities examines the role that diversity, equity and inclusivity (DEI) plays in the field and discipline of knowledge management (KM). With the premise that DEI is the inclusion and equal treatment of all types of people, things and viewpoints, the book aims to increase awareness of DEI among KM practitioners and researchers. It is a starting point for adopting knowledge processing activities that ensure all knowledge voices are represented in knowledge creation and capture. The book explains how this valuable knowledge can be shared and disseminated so that there is equitable access as well as knowledge. The focus of this handbook is on inclusivity in KM, its current state, specific challenges and an exploration of the best path forward.Currently, inclusivity does not appear to be on many KM road maps, and this book provides insights into the state-of-the-art of inclusivity in KM. In alignment with the book's central theme, it presents a diverse range of perspectives that includes KM researchers, KM educators and KM practitioners. Addressing different stages of knowledge processing, as well as the KM bookends of KM culture, KM competencies and KM governance, the book features in-depth case studies to illustrate how inclusivity can be integrated into KM. The handbook concludes with concrete recommendations on how to integrate inclusivity into KM in organizations. Reviewing both the theory and practice of inclusive KM, the book helps readers gain actionable insights into an inclusive KM approach that includes standards, guidelines and checklists.
Sketching in Human Computer Interaction
Sketching is a universal activity that first appears when we play as children, but later, it is often overlooked as a useful skill in adult work - yet it can bring multiple benefits to research and practice in multiple domains. Specifically, Human Computer Interaction embraces interdisciplinary practices, and amongst those, sketching has proven to be a valuable addition to the skill set of researchers, practitioners, and educators in both academia and industry. Many individuals lack the confidence to take up pen and paper after years of non-practice, but it is possible to re-learn these lost skills, improve on them, and apply them in practical ways to all areas of work and research. This book takes the reader on an active journey in sketching: from scribbles and playful interpretations to hands-on practical applications in storyboarding, and further, in examining qualitative analysis using sketching practice in HCI. Readers will learn a wide range of techniques andapplied methods for utilizing sketching within the context of HCI, guided by the experienced authors, and join the larger community of those who employ (and enjoy) sketching in Human Computer Interaction.

Artificial Intelligence
A global perspective on AIThe rise of AI and super-intelligent AI raises ethical issues. AI is the power behind Google's search engine, enables social media sites to serve up targeted advertising, gives Alexa and Siri their voices, and enables OpenAI's ChatGPT to produce written responses from just a few prompts by the user. It is also the technology enabling self-driving vehicles, predictive policing, and autonomous weapons that can kill without direct human intervention. All of these bring up complex ethical issues that are still unresolved and will continue to be the subject of ongoing debate.This book: Explores the complex topic of AI ethics in a cross-functional way;Enables understanding of the associated ethical challenges of AI technologies;Provides an up-to-date overview of the potential positive and negative outcomes of AI implementations; andHas been updated to reflect the ethical challenges of AI in 2024 and beyond, and the moral imperative of navigating this new terrain.This book presents a concrete approach to identifying appropriate ethical principles in AI solutionsAbout the author: Dr Julie Mehan is semi-retired, but is still a professor at UMGC (University of Maryland Global College), where she teaches digital ethics, cyber terrorism, and information systems in organisations.Dr Mehan has been a career government service employee, a strategic consultant and an entrepreneur. She has led business operations, as well as IT governance and cyber-security-related services, including designing and leading whitehat and blackhat penetration testing exercises, certification and accreditation, systems security engineering process improvement, and cyber security strategic planning and programme management.

System Requirements Capturing Model (SRCM) For AI Learning
In the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence, understanding and defining the system requirements for AI projects is crucial to achieving successful implementations. System Requirements Capturing Model (SRCM) for AI Learning by TY Wang provides an innovative framework for capturing, analyzing, and managing the complex system requirements that are essential for AI development. This book serves as a critical guide for engineers, data scientists, AI practitioners, and business leaders who are involved in the planning, designing, and execution of AI solutions.Drawing from years of experience in both academia and industry, Wang introduces a structured, easy-to-follow methodology for understanding the unique requirements of AI systems, from conceptualization to deployment. The System Requirements Capturing Model (SRCM) is a systematic approach designed to bridge the gap between business objectives and technical solutions. It helps to ensure that AI systems are built on well-defined, precise, and scalable requirements, minimizing ambiguity and optimizing performance.The book walks readers through the key components of SRCM, including data requirements, computational power, hardware, software specifications, integration needs, and security concerns. It also highlights how to consider external factors such as market trends, ethical implications, and stakeholder expectations when capturing system requirements for AI projects. The book emphasizes the importance of a collaborative approach, involving both technical and non-technical stakeholders in the process, to ensure that all aspects of the system are considered and aligned with the project's goals.A major strength of this book is its focus on AI learning systems, where the author provides examples of how SRCM can be applied to machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning projects. Through a series of case studies, readers will gain hands-on insights into real-world applications, learning how to identify and capture requirements that can lead to more robust and efficient AI models. Additionally, the book explores methods for iterative requirements refinement and how SRCM can evolve over the lifecycle of an AI system.By the end of this book, readers will have a strong understanding of how to systematically define and manage the requirements for AI learning systems, ensuring that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and meet their intended performance goals.
