Using Ontologies In A Cognitive-Grounded System

Whitepaper called Using Ontologies in a Cognitive-Grounded System: Automatic Action Recognition in Video Surveillance. In particular, the authors focus on the task of classifying the actions occurring in a scene. For this purpose, they developed a semantic infrastructure on top of a hybrid computational ontology of actions. The article outlines the core features of this infrastructure, illustrating how the processing mechanisms of the cognitive system benefit from knowledge capabilities in fulfilling the recognition goal. Ultimately, the paper shows that ontologies can enhance a cognitive architecture's functionalities, allowing for high-level performance in complex task execution.
