Abstract

Thinking reed ... 346. Pensée fait la grandeur de l'homme. 347. L'homme n'est qu'un roseau, le plus faible de la nature; mais c'est un roseau pensant. Il ne faut pas que l'univers entier s'arme pour l'écraser: une vapeur, une goutte d'eau, suffit pour le tuer. Mais, quand l'univers l'écraserait, l'homme serait encore plus noble que ce qui le tue, parce qu'il sait qu'il meurt, et l'avantage que l'univers a sur lui; l'univers n'en sait rien. Toute notre dignité consiste donc en la pensée. Pensées. Blaise Pascal (1623-1662). 1 Silicon; Si, the 14th element in the periodic table of elements. The name silicon derives from the Latin silex or silicis, meaning "flint" or "hard stone". Silicon is one of the most common of all the elements, occurring in the Earth's crust as sand.... A(n)...property resulting from the electronic structure of silicon is that it functions as an intrinsic semiconductor. 2 The silicon chip controls our daily life. It replaces boring jobs and creates new ones. It is present in most of the devices that accompany us, that make our lives pleasant or watch over our safety. It is doing a lot of thinking that man used to do himself. After the Stone, the Bronze, and the Iron Age, we are now living in the Sand Age.

  2. There is a mismatch between the human and machine approach of knowledge,with
  3. Knowledge acquisition is not a part, but an integrated aspect of knowledge-base building.
  4. There is a discrepancy between knowledge acquisition and knowledge representation.
  5. How much of the knowledge is still "hidden" or "tacit"?
