Conceptual Neighborhoods – A Future Step for Spatio-temporal Decision Support Systems

A presentation and discussion in the UMA Research Colloquium series.

Matt Dube, Associate Professor in Data Science, Computer Information Systems, and Applied Mathematics

In spatial and temporal reasoning, a mathematical construct known as a conceptual neighborhood graph takes relations between objects and forms a graph between them explaining systematic transfers between the relations. The relations are nodes, while the transfers are edges. Over the past few decades, research has been done on numerous relation sets to identify salient patterns of transfer in these relations. What has not been accomplished is to develop an information system that accounts for this logic, a key piece for moving into decision support systems based on principles of human cognition. In this presentation, I will detail research into conceptual neighborhoods of important relation spaces undertaken by my students (undergrad and grad) and I that pave the way for the future of spatio-temporal decision tools.

This colloquium is part of the UMARC series -- the University of Maine at Augusta Research Colloquium features faculty, students, and staff of the university in presenting their active research programs to build intellectual community.  For more information on the UMARC series, please visit https://www.uma.edu/academics/research/research-colloquium/ online.
