Categorization is the process in which ideas and objects are recognized, differentiated, and understood. Categorization implies that objects are grouped into categories, usually for some specific purpose. Ideally, a category illuminates a relationship between the subjects and objects of knowledge. Categorization is fundamental in language, prediction, inference, decision making and in all kinds of environmental interaction. It is indicated that categorization plays a major role in computer programming.
There are many categorization theories and techniques. In a broader historical view, however, three general approaches to categorization may be identified:
Classical categorization first appears in the context of Western Philosophy in the work of Plato, who, in his Statesman dialogue, introduces the approach of grouping objects based on their similar properties. This approach was further explored and systematized by Aristotle in his Categories treatise, where he analyzes the differences between classes and objects. Aristotle also applied intensively the classical categorization scheme in his approach to the classification of living beings (which uses the technique of applying successive narrowing questions such as "Is it an animal or vegetable?", "How many feet does it have?", "Does it have fur or feathers?", "Can it fly?"...), establishing this way the basis for natural taxonomy.
Psych in the City 2007 Q: What do Radiology, National Security, Language and Birdwatching have in Common? Dr. Mark Blair A: They all involve categorization, a core cognitive process. People are good at learning to make distinctions. They can distinguish between dogs and cats, they can tell when someone is angry, and they know a chair when they see one. But not everything is easy to identify. Radiologists need years of training to detect tumors in x-ray films, for instance, and novice birder has little chance of distinguishing a summer tanager from a scarlet one. Dr. Mark Blair's research is aimed at improving our understanding how humans are able to learn to classify things, accurately placing them into categories. The focus of his current work is on understanding how selec...
Very nice demonstration of a 4-year olds inability to perform categorization.
This is the third episode of a course in Cognitive Linguistics. This episode addresses the topic of categorization. I contrast the idea of classic, Aristotelian categories with the idea of prototypes, and I discuss several types of evidence that motivate the prototype view.
Tyler of (http://www.rsdnation.com) talks about being that "crazy guy" who cannot be categorized, so you can sex hot women and nobody will think it's a big deal. Do not accept beta male "shaming" from angry women who deem you unworthy to have a great life. Pass this "global shit test" and own your desires as a man!

Google Tech Talks November, 15 2007 ABSTRACT Neurocomputational models provide fundamental insights towards understanding the human brain circuits for learning new associations and organizing our world into appropriate categories. In this talk I will review the information-processing functions of four interacting brain systems for learning and categorization: (1) the basal ganglia which incrementally adjusts choice behaviors using environmental feedback about the consequences of our actions, (2) the hippocampus which supports learning in other brain regions through the creation of new stimulus representations (and, hence, new similarity relationships) that reflect important statistical regularities in the environment, (3) the medial septum which works in a feedback-loop with the hipp...

This is an introduction to Step 1, Categorization of the NIST SP 800-37, Risk Management Framework process. Categorization consists of three primary steps: 1) Determining the Security Categorization of the information system. This is done by breaking down the primary information types on the system. You can get great guidance on this from FIPS 199 and NIST SP 800-60 (Volume I-II). 2) Create a System Description. This is really the first step to creating a System Security Plan and it leads to registering the systems. 3) Register the system. This means that you need to advertise the the system to all the stakeholders of the system in the organization. Organizations usually have a method of doing this with a database that can be seen by upper-level management.
