Abstract
Generally, a human being deals with various forms of data such as sound, image, numerical, and linguistic. In order to solve numerous problems which occur in our everyday lives, we usually use more than two forms of data. Unconsciously, a human being combines more than two forms of data and intefrates them and acquires knowledge from them. This process of a human being is called data fusion. In the human intelligent activities, language plays an important role. A human being uses language for thinking. Wittgenstein said that language is a tool for thinking. Language is important for human data processing. For the purpose of data fusion of heterogeneous forms of data, we regard language as a basic forms of data. Data processing based on language is called intelligent computing. In this paper, we consider an approach to realizing intelligent computing. Firthermore, we propose a framework of data fusion. In order to intefrate heterogeneous forms of data, the meanings of data must be considered. For the purpose of considering the meaning of data, we use systemic functional linguistic theory. According to this theory, the meanings of words are determined use of them. Using this theory, the meanings of heterogeneous forms of data are also determined use of them. Therefore, this theory is suitable for realizing the concept of the intelligent computing. In this study, we propose the framework of data fusion based on systemic functional linguistic theory.This framework is applied to the system which generates verbal commands a game called gate-ball. Acording to systemic functional linguistic theory, in the society where we live, there are laws, ideologies, morals which are called context of culture and they effect us in our sense of values. In the games, there are rules, strategies of their own, they also effect us in their restricted worlds. In other words, a game is a model of the society where we live. The system we propose in this study interprets rules, strategies, tactics of the gate-ball game and gives the instructions to the player suitable for the situations. In order to recognize the situations of the gate-ball game, not only numerical data but also image data and linguistic data must be intefrated. This system integrates them in the linguistic form. We give a certain situation of the gate-ball game to this system, describe the series of data proessing in this system, and consider the results of data processing.
