Abstract: Towards the formalization of ontological methodologies for dynamic machine learning and semantic analyses, a new form of denotational mathematics known as concept algebra is introduced. Concept Algebra (CA) is a denotational mathematical structure for formal knowledge representation and manipulation in machine learning and cognitive computing. CA provides a rigorous knowledge modeling and processing tool, which extends the informal, static, and application-specific ontological technologies to a formal, dynamic, and general mathematical means. An operational semantics for the calculus of CA is formally elaborated using a set of computational processes in real-time process algebra (RTPA). A case study is presented on how machines, cognitive robots, and software agents may mimic the key ability of human beings to autonomously manipulate knowledge in generic learning using CA. This work demonstrates the expressive power and a wide range of applications of CA for both humans and machines in cognitive computing, semantic computing, machine learning, and computational intelligence.
