In general, then the notion of concept is not part of an adequate taxonomy of our mental representation.
Note the contrast with the meaning of linguistic expressions that this notion of concept induces: On this notion of concept, the connection between a concept and 'its meaning' or 'its content' is not arbitrary, or even contingent; quite the contrary, a concept would naturally seem to be a meaning or a content; the meaning or content of the corresponding linguistic expression.
These assumptions do not fix a single notion of concept, but they do however determine the logical space within which accounts can be developed of the correlative notions of conceptual and nonconceptual content.
Using a notion of concept relevance based on the h-index measure, we were able to enhance our validation process so that for a fixed recall, we increased precision by excluding from the results a higher amount of false positives.
In this paper, we carry on with the analysis of constructible concepts initiated in [M. Freund, On the notion of concept 1. Artificial Intelligence 172 (2008) 570 590], and examine the key notions of categorization theory that are linked with category-based induction.
Ockham's notion of concept acquisition and mental representation is developed as part of a very sophisticated theory of thought involving not only a theory of signification, but also a whole range of logico-semantic properties such as connotation and supposition.
In the second of these papers Peirce defended a "pragmatic" notion of clear concepts.
Along with the "horizontal" notion of our concepts being images of things as well as of the mind's own oneness, assimilatio also has a "vertical" dimension because in knowing we liken ourselves to our divine Original.
Unlike retrospective diagnosis, the notion of disease concepts does take into account that diseases are not stable, ahistorical "scientifc facts" but changing sociocultural constructions.
Moreover, with a formal context, one can define the notion of formal concepts, where, for A ⊆ G, we define A' = { m ∈ M |∀ g ∈ A : (g, m) ∈ I} and for B ⊆ M, we define B' = { g ∈ G|∀ m ∈ B : (g, m) ∈ I}.
