Representations of Knowledge in Complex Systems
复杂系统中的知识表示
SUMMARY Modern sensor technologies, especially in biomedicine, produce increasingly detailed and informative image ensembles, many extremely complex. It will be argued that pattern theory can supply mathematical representations of subject-matter knowledge that can be used as a basis for algorithmic ‘understanding’ of such pictures. After a brief survey of the basic principles of pattern theory we shall illustrate them by an application to a concrete situation: high…
