  • Abstract
    Concepts are the basic units of thought that underlie human intelligence and communication. From the perspective of cognitive informatics, a layered framework is suggested for concept formation and learning. It combines cognitive science and machine learning approaches. The philosophical issues and various views of concepts are reviewed. Concept learning methods are presented based on the classical view of concepts.
