Spectacular achievements of the so-called large language models (LLM), a technical solution that has emerged within natural language processing (NLP), are a common experience these days. In particular, this applies to the artificial text generated in various ways by these models. This text represents a level of semantic perfection comparable to that of or even equal to a human. On the other hand, there is extensive and old research on the role and meaning of the text in human culture and society, with a very rich philosophical background gathered in the field of hermeneutics. The paper justifies the necessity of using the research background of hermeneutics to study artificial texts and also proposes the first conclusions about these texts in the context of this background. It is the formulation of foundations of the research area that can be called the hermeneutics of artificial text.

Discourses can be treated as instances of knowledge. The dynamic space in which the trajectories of these discourses are described can be regarded as a model of knowledge. Such a space is called a discursive space. Its scope is defined by a set of discourses. The procedure of constructing such a space is a serious problem, and so far, the only solution has been to identify the dimensions of this space through the qualitative analysis of texts on the basis of the discourses that were identified. This paper proposes a solution by using an extended variant of the embedding technique, which is the basis of neural language models (pre-trained language models and large language models) in the field of natural language processing (NLP). This technique makes it possible to create a semantic model of the language in the form of a multidimensional space. The solution proposed in this article is to repeat the embedding technique but at a higher level of abstraction, that is, the discursive level. First, the discourses would be isolated from the prepared corpus of texts, preserving their order. Then, from these discourses, identified by names, a sequence of names would be created, which would be a kind of supertext. A language model would be trained on this supertext. This model would be a multidimensional space. This space would be a discursive space constructed for one moment in time. The described steps repeated in time would allow one to construct the assumed dynamic space of discourses, i.e., discursive space.

Digital technology has broken the traditional “individual–system” trust dichotomy and has brought in a new “increment” of trust state to society. Taking an engineering project as an example, the key to a successful digital design, digital construction and digital operation is that digital technology has built an inclusive trust system and coordination mechanism in the whole life cycle of the project. In this process, the integration of the people, technology and system has broken the dimensional barrier of “man, machine and object” in the project, which not only exceeds the dependence on traditional individuals and systems, but also reduces the cost of system operation and improves the efficiency of project construction.

Starting from the ancient philosophical proposition of “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”, this article attempts to answer the different responses of different holistic theories to “1 + 1 > 2” in different times. When trying to define systems or systematism, due to the introduction of the concept of exchange and traditional holism, one must ask the question of how to sublimate them into modern systems theory? How does systems philosophy counteract-eat the traditional holism step by step and reshape holism under the framework of systematism?

As a governance framework for emerging technologies, the responsible research and innovation (RRI) approach faces some fundamental conflicts, particularly between “inclusivity” and “agility”. When we try to apply RRI principles to the development of AI, we also encounter similar difficulties. Therefore, it may be helpful to change the approach by not only seeing AI as the object of ethical governance but also as an effective tool for it. This involves mainly three levels: first, using AI directly to solve general ethical problems; second, using AI to solve the ethical problems brought about by AI; and third, using AI to upgrade the RRI framework. By doing something at these three levels, we can promote the fusion of AI and technology ethics and move towards ethical engineering, thus pushing ethical governance to new heights. In traditional ethical governance approaches, ethics is external, brought in by external actors, and the focus is on actors. However, in this new approach, ethics must be internalized in technology, with the focus not only on actors, but also on technology itself. Its essence lies in the invention and creation of technologically ethical governance tools.

The aim to improve diagnosis decision systems of kidneys led to the concept of many methods of texture characterization of kidneys from ultrasound images. Here, as a first main contribution, we propose a texture characterization method based on the singularity defined by the Hölder exponent, which is multifractal local information. Indeed, the originality of our contribution here is to build a singularity-level matrix corresponding to different levels of regularities, from which we extract new texture features. Finally, as a second main contribution, we will evaluate the potential of our proposed multifractal features to characterize textured ultrasound images of the kidney. Having more reproducibility of the texture features first requires a good choice of Choquet capacity to calculate the irregularities and a selection of a more representative region of interest (ROIs) to analyze by carrying out an adapted virtual puncture in the kidney components. The results of the supervised classification, using three classes of images (young, healthy, and glomerulonephritis), are interesting and promising since the classification accuracy reaches about 80%. This encourages conducting further research to yield better results by overcoming the limitations and taking into account the recommendations made in this article.

Movement–process collaborative compound robots are an important part of intelligent factory logistics systems, and they usually have two control systems located in the movement platform and the process platform. Interaction between the two platforms often requires the central logistics execution system to work. This paper proposes a compound robot control system architecture that integrates movement control and process action control. Its hardware can be an industrial computer with movement- and process-related sensor interfaces, and its software with multi-process management completes the internal collaboration and external data exchange. This architecture can greatly reduce the cost of compound robots and the scheduling load on the central logistics system server, simplify the development of logistics control programs, improve real-time collaboration between movement and process control, and provide strong support for the realization of massive logistics devices’ collaborative management and control.

Large language and multimodal models are revolutionising many aspects of human work and creativity, with broad potential not only as chatbots and for information retrieval but as interaction points and integrators of large technical systems. However, these technologies’ significance comes with societal challenges regarding accessibility, applicability, alignment, and inclusion. The development of open-source large language models may lead to more transparent and responsible use of such technologies. Here, we discuss the importance of open language models, their challenges, and how they were managed in a specific use case.

Factor implicit thought in factor space theory can be used to solve the classification problem of machine learning. On the basis of factor implicitness, a serial sweeping class classification algorithm is proposed, and a factor implicit model is constructed with this algorithm, and then tested and classified. On the basis of a serial scanning algorithm, this paper proposes a fine-tuning Sweeping Learning Algorithm, an ascending Side-By-Side Serial Scanning Algorithm, and a combination algorithm to solve the two problems in the running of the serial scanning algorithm. In order to solve the problem that the training speed of a traditional serial scanning algorithm is too slow due to the large amount of data, a new method which can select mixed domains in advance—the partial-side serial scanning algorithm.

The Call for Papers for the 2023 Beijing Summit says that “Paradigm Change in the Information Discipline”, has been selected as the theme of the ISSI’ 2023 Summit by the sponsor and organizer. The purpose of this paper is to compare and analyze the existence and process of the “material” and the “information” and their respective “characteristics”; to discuss why the two disciplines produce different paradigms, namely, different “scientific views” and “methodologies”; and, finally, to point out that in the process of the transformation of scientific paradigm, our worldview will inevitably complete the leap from Aristotle’s “10 material categories” to the “12 information attributes” of information science.

As a philosophical distillation of the study of human consciousness, Husserl’s phenomenology reveals the truth and principles of direct experience and is essentially an information discipline, known as “information phenomenology”. The main purpose of this article is to explain the basic ideas and methods of Husserl’s phenomenology based on the basic ideas and methodology of informatics. Our research results mainly include the following aspects: firstly, the misleading effect of physicalism on psychology and Husserl’s criticism of psychologism; secondly, information ontology and the “intentionality” of life information; thirdly, the “suspension” of phenomenology and the “reduction” of essence; fourthly, the world of science and the world of daily life; and finally, the limitations of Husserl’s phenomenology.

The Call for Papers of IS4SI points out that paradigms from the disciplines of information and physics, respectively, reflect very different scientific viewpoints and methodologies. The sponsor and organizer selected “Paradigm Changes in Information Discipline” as the theme of the conference. The authors of this paper believe that the key to achieving the transformation of the “scientific paradigm” from a physical discipline to an information discipline lies in revealing and identifying one of the most fundamental propositions: recognizing the one-sidedness of “physicalism” and the universality of “informationism”, and accepting the world view, scientific view, values, and methodology of theoretical information science. Therefore, the main content of this paper discusses the one-sidedness of physicalism, the universality of informatics, and propose the promotion of the zeitgeist of the information age.

This paper discusses the “what”, “why”, and “how” of the issue of “discipline informatization”. Since the Renaissance, the humanities and social sciences established under the guidance of physical-mathematical methods, such as Comte’s “social physics”, have focused mainly on the material characteristics and information carriers of cultural phenomena. Although they have gained much, they have basically failed to grasp the central axis, baseline, and link of “social information”. Therefore, the authors of this paper take the growth of natural sciences as a reference and focus on the discipline informatization of the humanities and social sciences.

The authors of this article believe that from the perspective of the development of human spiritual products, the transformation of our scientific worldview and methodology from the paradigm of physics to the paradigm of informatics is an inevitable law of historical development. This article introduces the concepts and theories of two information science revolutions. The first information science revolution transformed “information concepts” into “information tools”. The second information science revolution transformed “information tools” into “information concepts”, which had a decisive impact on the transformation of human scientific views and methodologies (classed as scientific paradigms). At the same time, we observe the development trajectory of “psychology”, which began from the original version of ancient Greece, which passed through “religious psychology” and “physical psychology” and developed into the currently known “information psychology”. We can see the evolution of the “era spirit”: from “gods” and “materials”, it inevitably moves towards “information”. Therefore, promoting the spirit of the times of “Informationism” is a common task for contemporary scientists and philosophers.

The authors of this article advocate the view that the transformation from a physics paradigm to an informatics paradigm is not a denial of the effectiveness and scope of application of the physics paradigm, but a criticism of the “arrogance” of the physics paradigm, which misleads research in the humanities and social sciences. Through the “disciplinary informatization” of the humanities and social sciences, their own disciplinary paradigms can be established. The research objects of “communication” and “dissemination”, respectively, are “material” and “information”, meaning that they should follow different scientific paradigms. After achieving the transformation into an informatics paradigm, we should strive to explore the “cooperation” between the two paradigms, allowing them to explain “nature” (such as biological gene DNA) and “society” (cultural gene MEME), especially human “thinking”. Obviously, the conditions for solving “physical and mental problems” since Plato and Descartes have already been met.

The authors propose that the theoretical framework of Western philosophy is supported by metaphysical ontology through the differentiation and analysis of two different kinds of “particulars-universals” in Plato’s “world visible to the naked eye” and “world known to the soul” in the solar metaphor and line metaphor. In today’s society, where big data, the Internet, and artificial intelligence are prevalent, we should say goodbye to Aristotle’s “physicalism”, return to Plato’s theory of ideas, and use theoretical information science to reinterpret the theory of ideas, change from the scientific paradigm of physicalism to the scientific paradigm of “informatics”, and consciously use the world view, scientific outlook, and methodology of information science to guide our study, life, and work.

Husserl told readers that there are two ways to understand his theory, namely “starting from the world of life” or “starting from psychology”. We believe that theoretical informatics and information philosophy can be combined with the Husserl phenomenological movement as two important options to overcome the crisis of contemporary natural science. The purposes of this article are to analyze the ontological and epistemological roots of the scientific “crisis”; to criticize the one-sidedness of the mainstream of Western science and philosophy over the past 2300 years; to develop and perfect the foundation and core of information science: “theoretical informatics”; to apply the experience of “Information Psychology” to the “discipline informatization” in Law, Ethics, Linguistics, etc.; and to abstract information ontology, epistemology, and axiology based on theoretical informatics.
