Semantic Analysis Processes in Advanced Pattern Understanding Systems

This publication presents the use of semantic data analysis in cognitive processes of data analysis, interpretation, recognition and understanding in advanced pattern understanding systems. These processes form a part of a field called cognitive informatics, which encompasses subjects related to the semantic analysis and interpretation of data leading to understanding the analysed data sets. These systems dedicated for cognitive analysis of image data called Understanding Based Image Analysis Systems. Examples of applications of this type of semantic analysis processes and methods will be shown using the case of an cognitive system for the semantic analysis of image data presenting X-ray images of foot bone lesions.
