PRESENTER:  DR. KEN FORBUS

TOPIC:  QUALITATIVE MODELING OF COMMON SENSE UNDERSTANDING

How people understand the physical world is one of the deepest problems
of
human cognition. Qualitative modeling provides formalisms that can be
used
to express human mental models of the physical world, and how we reason
with them. This talk surveys some basic ideas of qualitative
representations and reasoning, illustrating how they can be used to
model
developmental results, as a component in natural language semantics, and
as
a bridge between perceptual and conceptual representations in spatial
reasoning.

Further information about the colloquium series, a schedule of future
talks, and an archive of previous talks are available at
