This problem can be successfully discussed in the framework of a quantum approach to pattern recognition and to machine learning. Although recognition procedures are different for human and for artificial intelligences, there is a common method of "facing the problems" that seems to work in both cases.

• Abstract: How are abstract concepts and musical themes recognized on the basis of some previous experience? It is interesting to compare the different behaviors of human and of artificial intelligences with respect to this problem. Generally, a human mind that abstracts a concept (say, table) from a given set of known examples creates a table-Gestalt: a kind of vague and out of focus image that does not fully correspond to a particular table with well determined features. A similar situation arises in the case of musical themes. Can the construction of a gestaltic pattern, which is so natural for human minds, be taught to an intelligent machine? This problem can be successfully discussed in the framework of a quantum approach to pattern recognition and to machine learning. The basic idea is replacing classical data sets with quantum data sets, where either objects or musical themes can be formally represented as pieces of quantum information, involving the uncertainties and the ambiguities that characterize the quantum world. In this framework, the intuitive concept of Gestalt can be simulated by the mathematical concept of positive centroid of a given quantum data set. Accordingly, the crucial problem "how can we classify a new object or a new musical theme (we have listened to) on the basis of a previous experience?" can be dealt with in terms of some special quantum similarity-relations. Although recognition procedures are different for human and for artificial intelligences, there is a common method of "facing the problems" that seems to work in both cases.

  We show that the subject-summing problem originally posed by William James is probably the first and most important combination problem of panpsychism. We turn to the notion of subject of experience inspired by the idea of prehension proposed by Whitehead. The analysis imposes conditions on possible implementations of quantum cognition mechanisms in the brain.

  The current state-of-the-art in artificial intelligence is impressive, especially in terms of mastery of language, but not so much in terms of mathematical reasoning. This essay builds on the idea that current deep learning mostly succeeds at system 1 abilities. It takes an information-theoretical posture to ask questions about what constitutes an interesting mathematical statement.

  We will argue that a phenomenological analysis of consciousness, similar to that of Husserl, shows that the effects of phenomenal qualities shape our perception of the world. It also shows the way the physical and mathematical sciences operate, allowing us to accurately describe the observed regularities in terms of communicable mathematical laws.

  This paper demonstrates that some non-classical models of human decision-making can be run successfully as circuits on quantum computers. The claim is not that the human brain uses qubits and quantum circuits explicitly, but that the mathematics shared between quantum cognition and quantum computing motivates the exploration of quantum computers for cognition modeling.

We first design two-level question augmentations, including content-level and structure-level, which generate literally diverse question pairs with similar purposes. Then, to fully exploit hierarchical information of knowledge concepts, we propose a knowledge hierarchy-aware rank strategy.
