THE DIGITAL PUBLIC SPHERE

Let’s think about the­ new digital public sphere. I will begin by discussing the anthropological and demographic context of the public sphere shift into the digital environment. Then I will analyze the original forms of memory and communication supported by the new medium. I will then evoke the figures of domination and alienation specific toLire la suite « THE DIGITAL PUBLIC SPHERE »

IEML in Global Medical Communication

What is IEML ? IEML – Information Economy Meta Language – is a mathematical language with the same expressive power as a natural language. It has a dictionary of 3000 concepts plus a regular grammar allowing to build recursively an infinity of sentences representing concepts and relations. Properties 1 and 2 make IEML the mostLire la suite « IEML in Global Medical Communication »

Semantics, artificial intelligence and collective intelligence

How does language work? On the receiving end, we hear a sequence of sounds that we translate into a network of concepts. This is what we call « understanding the meaning » of a statement we hear. On the transmit side, we have in mind a network of concepts – a meaning to be conveyed – that we translate into a sequence of sounds.

IEML: Towards a Paradigm Shift in Artificial Intelligence

IEML has the expressive power of a natural language and the syntax of a regular language. Its semantics are unambiguous and computable because they are an explicit function of its syntax. A neuro-semantic architecture based on IEML combines the strengths of neural AI and classical symbolic AI while enabling integration of knowledge through an interoperable computing of semantics.

Semantic Computing with IEML

Based on the Information Economy MetaLanguage (IEML), semantic computing brings together several perspectives: an improvement of artificial intelligence, a solution to the problem of semantic interoperability, an algebraic model of semantic linguistics: all this at the service of human collective intelligence. Neuro-Symbolic Artificial Intelligence Every animal has a nervous system. Neuronal computing, which is statisticalLire la suite « Semantic Computing with IEML »

Collective Intelligence Today

Collective Intelligence in 1994 When I published « Collective Intelligence » in 1994, the WWW did not exist (you won’t find the word « web » in the book) and less than one percent of the world’s population was connected to the Internet. A fortiori, social media, blogs, Google and Wikipedia were still well hidden in the realm ofLire la suite « Collective Intelligence Today »

Towards a Data-centric Organization

The transition to a data-centric organization implies a change of culture and an evolution of management. All of a sudden, words and concepts become important, not only in communication and marketing, but also in production, which is no less digitized than the other functions of the company. In addition, the cultural change calls for more openness and communication between departments, branches, services and businesses. No good management without data management, and no data management without good metadata management. We thought that interest in semantics was reserved for cultural studis departments in American universities, but now it is a condition of business productivity!

Outline of a Business Model for a Change in Civilization

Or how to move from a metadata language to a culture of collective intelligence… THE METADATA ISSUE Metadata are the data that organize the data. Data are like books in a library and metadata are like the library card index and catalog: their function is to identify the books in order to store and findLire la suite « Outline of a Business Model for a Change in Civilization »
