Abstract
Abstract 1
The Semantic Web aims to make the World Wide Web machine readable, but reasoning isn't very scaleble. The LarKC platform hopes to enable reasoning at web-scale. The platform has to deal with large and messy data-sets. We humans have to do the same every day. In this thesis we will combine the LarKC platform with a cognitive architecture called ACT-R. We will perform a high-level analysis of the two architectures, attempt to find a mapping from one architecture to the other and implement it.
Abstract 2
The Semantic Web aims to make the World Wide Web machine readable, but reasoning doesn't scale easily. The Large Knowledge Collider Project (LarKC) aims to provide a platform for reasoning at web-scale. The platform has to deal with multiple, large, messy and inconsistent data-sets. The human mind faces similar problems every day.
In this thesis we integrate the LarKC platform with a cognitive architecture in order to examine aspects of human reasoning that might be beneficial when reasoning at web-scale. We performed a high-level analysis of the two architectures, briefly explored and experimented with human stopping rules. We propose and implement a prototype integration, create a use-case and add stopping rules based on our experiments.
