A contribution to a multimodal approach to knowledge modeling

At present a steep increase in efforts by human beings in search of information take place. Pattern Recognition extracts information from the real world. It is a tool for modelling and real-world learning. Thus it requires precise knowledge of the objectives to be achieved with the information it produces. Human senses are part of their interface with the environment. Our senses are signal encoders according some representation that is understood by the central nervous system. Multimodality in signal capturing makes the spectrum of activities of intelligent agents wider. This paper aims to stimulate research for providing multimodal information, say, information that can be captured by different senses. This technique can improve decision-making; promote the inclusion of sense disabled individuals, giving higher amplitude for usefulness of Pattern Recognition. It considers multimodal display of knowledge to practical feasibility of knowledge presentation adapted to human sensing and perception towards decision improvement and inclusion of perception-impaired people. © 2014, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
