Natural and Artificial Concepts

485
In psychology, concepts can be divided into two categories: natural and artificial. Natural concepts are formed through direct or indirect experiences. For example, consider the concept of snow. If you live in a place with regular snowfall, such as Essex Junction, Vermont, you know snow through direct experiences. You’ve seen it fall, touched it, shoveled it, and played in it. You recognize its texture, appearance, and even its smell. In contrast, if you live on an island like Saint...

Metal ions can be separated from one another by complexation with organic ligands–the chelating agent– to form uncharged chelates. Here, the chelating agent must contain hydrophobic groups and behave as a weak acid, losing a proton to bind with the metal. Since most organic ligands used in this process are insoluble or undergo oxidation in the aqueous phase, the chelating agent is initially added to the organic phase and extracted into the aqueous phase. The metal-ligand complex is...

Taxonomy01:31

Taxonomy

84.0K
Taxonomy is the science of defining and naming groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics. It uses a hierarchy of increasingly inclusive categories with Latin names. The smallest units of taxonomy, species and genus, are used to assign a formal, taxonomic name to each species in a system. This classification system, referred to as binomial nomenclature, was formalized by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century.

Language and Cognition

651
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Components of Language01:24

Components of Language

687
Language, whether spoken, signed, or written, consists of specific components: lexicon and grammar. The lexicon is the vocabulary of a language, comprising its words. Grammar is the set of rules used to convey meaning through the lexicon. For example, English grammar adds “-ed” to most verbs to indicate past tense. Words are formed by combining phonemes, which are the basic sound units of a language. Different languages have different sets of phonemes (e.g., “ah” vs.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Informatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Ontology Engineering

Background:

  • Ontologies are crucial for annotating biological and biomedical databases.
  • Manual ontology development is resource-intensive and time-consuming.
  • Automated methods can enhance the efficiency of ontology creation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a semi-automatic method for identifying new ontology classes and relationships.
  • To improve the efficiency and accuracy of biomedical ontology development.
  • To facilitate the extension and quality control of existing ontologies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized machine learning and word embeddings to identify class labels and synonyms in biomedical literature.
  • Employed automated reasoning and lexical term variant analysis to determine class super-classes.
  • Developed an artificial neural network classifier to integrate contextual information and ontology structure.

Main Results:

  • Successfully identified novel labels referring to ontology classes within biomedical full-text articles.
  • Accurately determined super-class relationships for ontology classes.
  • Demonstrated utility in extending the Human Disease Ontology and classifying disease types.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method enables semi-automatic ontology extension and quality control.
  • It efficiently discovers missing class labels and establishes hierarchical relationships.
  • The approach aids in making ontology development more efficient and comprehensive.
