This chapter describes a new way of pattern interpretation aimed at the automatic semantic categorization and image content understanding. Such an understanding is based on the linguistic theories of pattern classification and is aimed at facilitating the content analysis of some classes of medical and economical patterns. The approach presented in this chapter shows great opportunities for the automatic disease interpretation in some analyzed structures, and for supporting information management using the grammar approach. The interpretation is based on cognitive resonance processes which imitate the psychological processes of understanding registered patterns which take place in the brain of a human beings. Cognitive and thinking processes taking place in the human brain have become the basis for defining classes of cognitive categorization systems designed for the in-depth, meaning-based interpretation and analysis of data. This type of an analysis is only possible thanks to applying interpretation and reasoning processes usually taking place in the human brain in a system. In addition, this type of an analysis is made possible by the use of linguistic algorithms for describing, analyzing and interpreting data in computer systems. Algorithms of this type support a meaning-based analysis of data which leads to understanding the semantic content of the analyzed data and to attempts at making forecasts with regard to the analyzed information.

This publication presents key problems of cognitive information systems. Cognitive data analysis systems will first be classified, then their genesis and development will be presented, and then their two main classes will be discussed: UBIAS (Understanding Based Image Analysis Systems) and UBMSS (Understanding Based Management Support Systems). The image analysis class is used to analyse the medical significance of lesions of various human organs. UBMSS systems provide automatic support for the strategic and financial decision-making process in enterprises. Due to the subject discussed here, UBMSS systems will be presented as assets supporting the management of medical units. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents some new ideas and possibilities of applying linguistic formalisms and mathematics aspects, in the form of semantic and cognitive formalisms, in the new class of intelligent cognitive vision systems. Such methods are aimed to facilitate the structural and semantic interpretation and analysis of the meaning of selected medical patterns. The medical patterns based on the presence of cognitive analysis, cognitive categorization and cognitive resonance. Cognitive resonance, cognitive categorization, semantic analysis and interpretation of image-type data, it΄s a very difficult process. We construct a new class of intelligent information systems: UBIAS (Understanding Based Image Analysis Systems) systems. The procedures proposed are based on the cognitive interpretation and analysis and categorization model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Drawing upon research in a number of fields (particularly in ecology, 'systems' approaches to perception, the philosophy of science, and the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty and his interpreters) this paper raises issues and questions about the relationships between knowledge, art and science. It suggests a way of thinking about art as an integrative system of knowledge based upon the recognition of three important factors: our fundamental participation in the world as knowing bodies; the perspectival nature of our interpretations of the world; and the particular ways in which we achieve coherence and integration through the making of art. The paper also traces some of the changes in the ways in which knowledge is described and formulated within modernist and postmodernist paradigms, and suggests how these changes support a revision of our views about the cognitive implications of art.

Section 2 of chapter two of the book "Myth and the Limits of Reason," by Phillip Stambovsky is presented. It explores the distinction between logos and mythos in Greek speculative thought. It discusses the use of abstract thinking and the de facto type of cognitive apprehension exploring the idea of myth as myth. It further describes the effort of rationalist mythologist Hans Blumenberg to identify the imaginary line between mythos and logos by moving beyond reductivist abstraction.
