  • Understanding Spatial Knowledge : An Ontology-Based Representation for Object Identification (Special Issue on Computer Vision and Applications)               
    CAO Lu; LAM Antony
    IIEEJ transactions on image electronics and visual computing, Volume:3, Number:2, First page:150, Last page:163, 2015, [Reviewed]
    Spatial descriptions are one of the most effective methods to enable interlocutors to identify which object is being discussed in discourse. In this paper, we propose a framework that can identify an object whose positional relation with another object is indicated verbally by a human. To this end, we construct a spatial knowledge ontology. The ontology is enriched by Description Logic (DL) of concepts, which allows discovering hidden knowledge. We also propose a Spatial Object Dataset that is specifically tailored for our experiments with ontological structures. The dataset currently contains 130 objects and in total of 720 images for object recognition and 360 scenes for spatial recognition. Preliminary experimental results confirmed that the system was able to correctly recognizes human descriptions and identify unknown objects and that understanding human spatial descriptions is efficient for human-machine interaction.

    IECON 2014 - 40TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE IEEE INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS SOCIETY, First page:4051, Last page:4056, 2014, [Reviewed]
    We are developing a helper robot able to fetch objects requested by users. This robot tries to recognize objects through verbal interaction with the user concerning the objects that it cannot detect autonomously. We have shown that the system can recognize objects based on an ontology for interaction. In this paper, we extend a human description ontology to link a "human description" to "attributes of objects" for our interactive object recognition framework. We develop an interactive object recognition system based on this ontology. Experimental results confirmed that the system could efficiently recognize objects by utilizing this ontology.

  • Recognizing Objects with Indicated Shapes Based on Object Shape Ontology

    The Journal of the Institute of Image Electronics Engineers of Japan, Volume:42, Number:4, First page:477, Last page:485, 2013, [Reviewed]
    Service robots need to be able to recognize objects located in complex environments. Al-though there has been recent progress in this area, it remains difficult for autonomous vision systems to recognize objects in natural conditions. Thus, we propose an interactive object recognition system,which asks the user to verbally provide information about the objects that it cannot recognize. However, humans may use various expressions to describe objects.Meanwhile, the same verbal expression may indicate different meanings depending on the situation. In this paper, we propose a framework of ontology representing such knowledge for interactive object recognition. Then, as the first step, we construct an ontology on object shape and develop an interactive object recognition system based on this ontology. It can recognize objects that have shapes indicated by natural language. We confirm the usefulness of the system through experiments using various daily objects.

  • Object Recognition for Service Robots through Verbal Interaction Based on Ontology

    We are developing a helper robot able to fetch objects requested by users. This robot tries to recognize objects through verbal interaction with the user concerning objects that it cannot detect autonomously. Since the robot recognizes objects based on verbal interaction with the user, such a robot must by necessity understand human descriptions of said objects. However, humans describe objects in various ways: they may describe attributes of whole objects, those of parts, or those viewable from a certain direction. Moreover, they may use the same descriptions to describe a range of different objects. In this paper, we propose an ontological framework for interactive object recognition to deal with such varied human descriptions. In particular, we consider human descriptions about object attributes, and develop an interactive object recognition system based on this ontology.

  • Serious Copula-Tensing               
    Daisuke Kachi
    Interdisciplinary Ontology, Volume:5, First page:67, Last page:73, 2012, [Invited]
    M. Johnston proposed an adverbialist solution to the problem of intrinsic change for enduring things. D. Lewis interpreted it as a way of tensing the copula. In his view, it has the defect of replacing the having simpliciter of a property by the standing in a triadic relation to a property and a time, and so is threatened by Bradley's Regress. I agree with Lewis on requiring the having a property to be non-relational, while I disagree with him on restricting it to the having simpliciter. I tense the copula non-relationally and yet more seriously than Johnston, by characterizing tense as a copulative de re modality concerning endurance, which I relate to R. Taylor's 'pure becoming'. I will show that my way gives a better solution to the problem of intrinsic change than those by other endurantists, because of its close connection to an account of tense, endurance and becoming.

    Interdisciplinary Ontology, Volume:2, First page:87, Last page:90, 2009, [Invited]
    Casati and Varzi have developed a theory of boundary based on extensional mereotopology and the distinction between fiat and bona fide boundaries. Firstly, I point out some problems in their theory that are related to the contact of bodies. Next, I propose a way of classification of boundaries into four kinds based on substance ontology and an alternative distinction between potential and actual boundaries. Finally, I will show that my way of classification makes it possible to solve the problems above.

  • Partial Logic as a Logic of Extensional Alethic Modality (Japanese)

    Journal of the Japan Association for Philosophy of Science, Volume:34, Number:2, First page:61, Last page:70, Mar. 2007, [Reviewed]
    In [Kachi 2002a] I made comparison between several definitions of validity in Simple Partial Logic (SPL) and adopted two of them as most appropriate. In this paper, after elaborating more on these two definitions than in my previous paper and considering the characteristics of Partial Semantics, in which these definitions are given, I construct a tableau proof theory and prove its soundness and completeness. Then, based on the characterization of Partial Semantics, I will show that we can regard SPL as a logic of extensional alethic modality.

    Simple partial logic (SPL) is, broadly speaking, an extensional logic which allows for the truth-value gap. First I give a system of propositional SPL by partializing classical logic, as well as extending it with several non-classical truth-functional operators. Second I show a way based on SPL to construct a system of tensed ontology, by representing tensed statements as two kinds of necessary statements in a linear model that consists of the present and future worlds. Finally I compare that way with other two ways based on Lukasiewicz's three-valued logic and branching temporal logic.

    This research attempted at reconstructing 'temporal realism', which takes temporal becoming as an ontologically fundamental feature of reality, based on the concept of 'fugitive truth', which admits that truth can be time-dependent. For that purpose, this researcher employed the results of the recent researches on the theories of truthmaking, truthmaker semantics and propositions.
    As a result, this researcher found the ground of temporal becoming in the 'pure becoming', which stands for the endurance of substantial objects. Besides, he realistically characterized the temporality of truth as a consequence of the non-indexical contextualism.

    Based upon comparative considerations on several types of essentialism, I adopted ‘the categorial power essentialism', which is basically a variety of the definitional essentialism based on real definitions but which also introduces some aspects of the dispositional essentialism and the minimal essentialism. Standing upon that position, I made real definitions of a hole and a rainbow, both of which are pseudo-substances. The former was defined as a dependent endurant that has the power of fillability. The latter was defined as a phenomenal endurant that lacks real individuality which is required for a real concrete object. Moreover I characterized the endurance, which is a part of essence of substantial objects, as the pure becoming regarded as the trans-moment identity and defended its reality together with that of tense and becoming.

  • The Logic and Ontology of Contemporary Substantialism

    As for the logic of substantialism, I axiomatized, after constructing their syntax and semantics, the systems of Temporal Substantial Logic and Sortal Substantial Logic, which are based upon the atomic sentences that are classified by de copula modalities that derive from the endurance and the essence of substances respectively.
    As for the ontology of substantialism, after comparing the definitions of the independence of substances proposed by several representative contemporary substantialists, I concluded that an essentialist definition based upon the specific independence of essence that E.J. Lowe had come up with was the best.

  • Formal Ontology Based on Sortal Modal Logic

    Adopting the position that takes sortal modality, which derives from the essences of substances, as one of the important realistic modalities, this research aimed at two objectives : (1)the construction of a formal system of Sortal Modal Logic that can properly deal with the arguments concerning sortal modality and(2)the construction of a system of substance ontology, which takes substances and sorts as the most fundamental entities in the reality.
    As for(1), I constructed the system of Sortal Modal Logic SS5 by adding modal operators and two modal axioms to E.J.Lowe's 1^Order Sortal Logic and extending its basic logic to modal logic S5. Comparing it with Aristotle's Modal Syllogisms, I found that SS5 formally embodies a kind of substance ontology.
    As for(2), firstly I found the following parallelisms between sortal substance modality and temporal substance modality, which derives from the endurance of substances : (a) Both of the categorical, occurrent, dispositional propositions and the past, present, future propositions can be characterized as the propositions that includes de copula predicative modalities that represent a kind of necessity, actuality and possibility respectively. (b)These predicative modalities function as the sufficient conditions of corresponding intensional alethic modalities and represent their sources. (c)While both of the future propositions and the dispositional propositions sometimes lack truth values, the others do not. These differences can be expressed by the extensional alethic modal operators in Simple Partial Logic.
    Then, based on these parallelisms, I characterized both of the sortal substance modality and the temporal substance modality as what are indispensable at the most fundamental level of the concrete realm of reality, and established a framework for an ontological system that takes substances as the most fundamental entities.

  • Formal Ontology Based on Temporal Logic

    Taking temporal becoming as one of important aspects in reality, this research aimed at two tasks : one is constructing a formal system of temporal logic that can properly deal with ontological inferences related to temporal becoming, and the other is building up, based on that system, an inclusive ontological theory that gives a principal role to temporal becoming.
    As for the former, I constructed the system of (propositional) temporal partial logic PS4.3. PS4.3 is a system given by making simple partial logic SPL temporal along with S4.3, which is known as a Diodorean modal logic. Since the Kripke frame that characterizes S4.3 is a dense ordered sequence, there the propositions that express possibility can be interpreted as those that insist on their truth at some present or future moments in a dense linear time. After defining the syntax and semantics of PS4.3, I constructed a tableau proof system and showed its soundness, completeness and decidability.
    As for the latter, firstly I built up a system of tensed ontology based on SPL and secondly constructed a system of formal ontology of temporal modality based on PS4.3, in accordance with substance ontology.
    Moreover I made investigations about two ontological problems concerning time : the possibility of time travel and the reality of temporal becoming. As for the former, making a distinction between the real past and the unreal future along the history of a substance, I proved that the time travels to the past that may bring about paradoxes are impossible. As for the latter, finding in the occurrence of an event a temporal direction of changing from possibility to necessity and from unreality to reality, I insisted that we should recognize the reality of temporal becoming in such an occurrence.

    A widely accepted opinion has it that any formal semantics for the standard language of logic could not supply an adequate theory of meaning for a natural language. However, a natural language has various aspects which can be profitably described by the standard logical machinery. Our research aimed at identifying such aspects of Japanese that can be handled by the standard semantics for predicate logic, and making a progress towards enriching the standard machinery by some devices for the semantic description of a natural language. We have presented a formal language that corresponds to a Japanese fragment in which various complex non phrases can be freely constructed. In the report of our research, one can find the description of the language and its semantics as well as some philosophical discussion about the methodology.
    Our method has the following features:
    1. If we add a device for various sorts of restricted quantification to the standard first-order predicate logic, we can supply the semantics for many complex noun phrases of Japanese in a systematic way.
    2. We can assign a truth condition almost directly to a Japanese sentence. Our semantics respects the word order of a Japanese sentence.
    3. Our method can provide a formal framework for studying the contributions of various contextual factors in determining the meaning of natural language expressions.
