Klappentext Brings together the prominent approaches to categorization, providing an evaluation of the state of the art of formal categorization research. Zusammenfassung The process of constructing concepts underpins our capacity to encode information efficiently but also! our ability to think in terms of abstract ideas such as justice! love and happiness. This book brings together many prominent formal approaches to categorization! evaluating the state of the art in this fascinating area. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Introduction Emmanuel M.
