Representation Heterogeneity
Semantic Heterogeneity is conventionally understood as the existence of variance in the representation of a target reality when modelled, by independent parties, in different databases, schemas and/ or data. We argue that the mere encoding of variance, while being necessary, is not sufficient enough to deal with the problem of representational heterogeneity, given that it is also necessary to encode the unifying basis on which such variance is manifested. To that end, this paper introduces a notion of Representation Heterogeneity in terms of the co-occurrent notions of Representation Unity and Representation Diversity. We have representation unity when two heterogeneous representations model the same target reality, representation diversity otherwise. In turn, this paper also highlights how these two notions get instantiated across the two layers of any representation, i.e., Language and Knowledge.

Language and Knowledge Representation: A Stratified Approach
The thesis proposes the problem of representation heterogeneity to emphasize the fact that heterogeneity is an intrinsic property of any representation, wherein, different observers encode different representations of th…
Representational Rényi heterogeneity
A discrete system's heterogeneity is measured by the R\'enyi heterogeneity family of indices (also known as Hill numbers or Hannah--Kay indices), whose units are {the numbers equivalent}. Unfortunately, numbers equivalen…
Learning Unified Representations from Heterogeneous Data for Robust Heart Rate Modeling
Heart rate prediction is vital for personalized health monitoring and fitness, while it frequently faces a critical challenge in real-world deployment: data heterogeneity. We classify it in two key dimensions: source het…
