OCCAM: Ontology-Based Computational Contextual Analysis and Modeling

  • Conference paper
Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT 2007)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 4635))

Abstract

The ability to model cognitive agents depends crucially on being able to encode and infer with contextual information at many levels (such as situational, psychological, social, organizational, political levels). We present initial results from a novel computational framework, Coordinated Probabilistic Relational Models (CPRM), that can potentially model the combined impact of multiple contextual information sources for analysis and prediction.
