From  philosophy to AI, this \u00a0process of understanding has been widely  associated to the notion of &#8220;representation&#8221;. But is representation  enough to deal with &#8220;visual intelligence&#8221;? In particular, are  representations enough to create &#8220;artificial visual intelligences&#8221;?  According to the mainstream, the answer is yes. In this talk I will  outline the theoretical and experimental limits of the representational  approach to visual intelligence, presenting insights from cognitive  science.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><strong>Bio<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Dr. Oltramari  received his Ph.D. from University of Trento (Italy) in\u00a0Cognitive  Science and Education, in co-tutorship with the Institute for\u00a0Cognitive  Science and Technology of the Italian National Research\u00a0Council  (ISTC-CNR). He also has a\u00a0B.S. and M.S. in Philosophy of  Science\u00a0(University of Padua &#8211; Italy). He has worked as a research  scientist at\u00a0the Laboratory for Applied Ontology (ISTC-CNR) in Trento  since 2000.\u00a0Alessandro has been a Visiting Research Associate  at\u00a0Princeton\u00a0University (WordNet group) in 2006. His primary interests  are in applied\u00a0ontology, cognitive science, computational semantics.  Most of his\u00a0research questions center around how cognitive aspects of  knowledge\u00a0representation are\u00a0involved in semantic technologies.  Alessandro&#8217;s\u00a0research activity at CMU mainly deals with integrating  ontologies and\u00a0ACT-R models. In general, extending cognitive  architectures with\u00a0ontologies represents a brand new area of research  in\u00a0Artificial General\u00a0Intelligence.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Visual Intelligence Beyond Representation Abstract: &#8220;Visual intelligence&#8221; can be conceived as the human capability to understand the relations holding within objects in a perceived scene and reason over temporal and conceptual dimensions of those relations.
