Knowledge Science: Modeling the Knowledge Creation Process
by Yoshiteru NakamoriExplaining how to improve our knowledge-based society, this book addresses problems in collecting, synthesizing, coordinating, and creating knowledge. It provides knowledge engineering tools and a framework for integrating knowledge creation, discovery, and management. The text covers knowledge technology, knowledge management, knowledge discovery and data mining, knowledge synthesis, knowledge justification, and knowledge construction. Experienced researchers in decision science, artificial intelligence, systems engineering, behavioral science, and management science present new methods for creating technological innovation from existing knowledge, such as IT techniques, organizational theory, and mathematical systems theory.
Knowledge Technology and Systems: Toward Establishing Knowledge Systems Science (Translational Systems Sciences #34)
by Yoshiteru NakamoriThis book discusses technology and systems to create valuable ideas from data through the construction of knowledge. The primary concern is to make better decisions about economic and management issues in today’s information-flooded society. Human creative activity is in the realm of soft technology, with no physical entity to operate. Focusing on the ability of knowledge as judgment power, this definition results: “Knowledge technology is soft technology that underpins the human creative activities of converting data and information into knowledge, creating new ideas based on that knowledge and validating those ideas.” That definition includes a wide range of soft technologies developed in informatics, management studies, and systems science. The knowledge system creates ideas from data and knowledge through knowledge technologies. Based on the proposition that knowledge emerges by the interaction between explicit and tacit knowledge, another definition is possible: “The knowledge system is a system that promotes interaction between codified and personalized knowledge and creates ideas for solving a specific problem.” Codified knowledge includes data and information, while personalized knowledge is empirical knowledge or wisdom that is difficult to put into words. Building a knowledge system requires mathematical or intelligent knowledge technology and participatory knowledge technology to create or manage codified knowledge and personalized knowledge. For example, a company builds cross-sectional knowledge systems by gathering human resources from various departments, according to the purpose, as in new product development or sales promotion. Chapter 1 defines knowledge technology and the knowledge system and organizes the challenges in their development, while Chapters 2 through 9 introduce mathematical or intelligent knowledge technologies by researchers at the forefront of knowledge technology development.
Knowledge Technology: Converting Data and Information into Valuable Ideas (SpringerBriefs in Business)
by Yoshiteru NakamoriThis book reviews creative technologies that underpin the human activities of converting data and information into knowledge, creating new ideas based on that knowledge, and validating those ideas. The book calls such creative technology “knowledge technology” and explores its challenges in the age of big data. Today, artificial intelligence and big data are successfully performing pattern recognition and decision making on behalf of humans, who are incapable of processing large amounts of information instantly and accurately. In using only past data, however, there are limits to future predictions with artificial intelligence and big data. Humans need to take the lead in predicting or creating the future by trying to understand why data emerged. Knowledge technology contributes to that understanding, regardless of the field of origin. As a matter of fact, knowledge technology includes many technologies developed in informatics, management study, and systems science. The desirable features of knowledge technology are the complementary use of rational and intuitive approaches, the integration of results from quantitative and qualitative analyses, and the cooperation between artificial intelligence and humans.
Knowledge Transfer between Computer Vision and Text Mining
by Radu Tudor Ionescu Marius PopescuThis ground-breaking text/reference divergesfrom the traditional view that computer vision (for image analysis) and stringprocessing (for text mining) are separate and unrelated fields of study,propounding that images and text can be treated in a similar manner for thepurposes of information retrieval, extraction and classification. Highlightingthe benefits of knowledge transfer between the two disciplines, the textpresents a range of novel similarity-based learning (SBL) techniques founded onthis approach. Topics and features: describes a variety of SBL approaches,including nearest neighbor models, local learning, kernel methods, andclustering algorithms; presents a nearest neighbor model based on a noveldissimilarity for images; discusses a novel kernel for (visual) wordhistograms, as well as several kernels based on a pyramid representation; introducesan approach based on string kernels for native language identification; containslinks for downloading relevant open source code.

The book seeks to provoke ideas and discussions, particularly in the areas where risk management and sustainable rehabilitation of the built environment intersect, ranging from reducing hazard risks to enhancing sustainable rehabilitation efforts in the field
Knowledge Unbound: Selected Writings on Open Access, 2002--2011
by Peter Suber Robert DarntonPeter Suber has been a leading advocate for open access since 2001 and has worked full time on issues of open access since 2003. As a professor of philosophy during the early days of the internet, he realized its power and potential as a medium for scholarship. As he writes now, "it was like an asteroid crash, fundamentally changing the environment, challenging dinosaurs to adapt, and challenging all of us to figure out whether we were dinosaurs." When Suber began putting his writings and course materials online for anyone to use for any purpose, he soon experienced the benefits of that wider exposure. In 2001, he started a newsletter -- the Free Online Scholarship Newsletter, which later became the SPARC Open Access Newsletter -- in which he explored the implications of open access for research and scholarship. This book offers a selection of some of Suber's most significant and influential writings on open access from 2002 to 2010. In these texts, Suber makes the case for open access to research; answers common questions, objections, and misunderstandings; analyzes policy issues; and documents the growth and evolution of open access during its most critical early decade.

Knowledge and Discourse Matters
by Lesley CraneThis book provides a practical approach to harnessing knowledge in organizations. Its focus is on knowledge sharing, tacit knowing, and a view of knowledge as an accomplishment in social interaction. The aim of this book is to explore and show how the phenomena of trust, risk and identity, as contexts constructed by speakers themselves, influence and mediate knowledge sharing in organizational encounters. The research particularly reveals how tacit knowledge (knowing), affects the scope and directions of everyday conversation. The first part of the book presents a comprehensive critical appraisal and analysis of the field of organizational knowledge management, followed by an introduction to the theory and methodology of discourse analysis, and a view of tacit knowing drawn from studies in implicit learning. The second part reports the detailed analysis and findings of original field research, investigating how participants in regular organizational meetings, including a discussion forum, manage the business of sharing knowledge. From the perspective of the research methodology, drawing on Discursive Psychology, knowledge is approached as an accomplishment in social interaction, with talk and text shown to be constructive, functional and action-oriented. Presents a rigorous, evidence-based approach to Knowledge Management using original research Approaches discourse as the location of knowledge work, and the site to which knowledge management practice should be focused Positions the actions of knowledge work in everyday talk and text, thus giving practitioners a ready toolset to improve their strategies, practices and understanding of knowledge within organizations Knowledge and Discourse Matters: Relocating Knowledge Management's Sphere of Interest onto Language is a great reference for organizational leaders, knowledge managers, and human resource managers. Dr. Lesley Crane is an independent consultant specializing in knowledge management, and technology supported learning for adults (e-learning). Much of her consultancy work involves providing strategic advice and research on the effective use of e-content, e-tools and the use of new technologies in the delivery of teaching and learning.
