When Neural Networks Meet Decisional DNA: A Promising New Perspective for Knowledge Representation and Sharing
PublicationABSTRACT In this article, we introduce a novel concept combining neural network technology and Decisional DNA for knowledge representation and sharing. Instead of using traditional machine learning and knowledge discovery methods, this approach explores the way of knowledge extraction through deep learning processes based on a domain’s past decisional events captured by Decisional DNA. We compare our approach with kNN (k-nearest...

The Double Cognitive Bias of Mistakes: A Measurement Method
PublicationThere is no learning without mistakes. However, making mistakes among knowledge workers is s�ll seeing shameful. There is a clash between posi�ve a�tudes and beliefs regarding the power of gaining new (tacit) knowledge by ac�ng in new contexts and nega�ve a�tudes and beliefs toward accompanying mistakes that are sources of learning. These contradictory a�tudes create a bias that is doubled by the other shared solid belief...
