PrimeNet: a framework for commonsense knowledge representation and reasoning based on conceptual primitives by Liu, Qian, Han, Sooji, Cambria, Erik, Li, Yang, Kwok, Kenneth

“…Commonsense knowledge acquisition and representation is a core topic in artificial intelligence (AI), which is crucial for building more sophisticated and human-like AI systems. However, existing commonsense knowledge bases organize facts in an isolated manner like bag of facts, lacking the cognitive-level connections that humans commonly possess. …”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…Having confirmed the importance of spin-ice physics, chapter 6 explores the pressure and temperature dependence of the ice-like correlations. At least two phase transitions are identied at low pressure, kinetic trapping is observed and the extreme compressibility shown to be a function of cyanide reorientation and ice-like coordination. …”
