Integrating Analogical and Sentential Reasoning for Perception

چکیده
Many diverse sources can contribute to the successful interpretation of sensory input. One fundamental problem for perception is integrating these sources into the interpretation process. We present a hybrid methodology for perception that addresses this integration problem. The approach integrates special-purpose analogical representations used to store partially interpreted sensor data with a general-purpose sentential language employed to represent more coguitively-based information about a domain. The paper describes a formal apparatus for unifying the sentential and analogical representations as well as inference mechanisms for translating between the two subsystems. We exhibit the utility of the framework for the task of integrating contingent information into maps.

A Framework for Hybrid and Analogical Planning
This chapter describes a model and an underlying theoretical framework for hybrid planning. Modern planning domain-description formalisms are based on purely sentential languages. Sentential representations produce problem encodings that often require the system to carry out an unnecessary amount of trivial deductions, preventing it from concentrating all the computational effort on the actual ...
متن کاملA Framework for Hybrid Planning
Hybrid models are characterised by the integration of two (or more) different paradigms of representation within the same system. Most current planning problem description languages are purely sentential, i.e., based on predicate logic formalisms [3, 14]. The ramification of the effects of action [16] makes the sentential description of planning problems that involve the spatial movement of phy...

Spatial/kinematic domain and lattice computers
An approach to analogical representation for objects and their motions in space is proposed. This approach involves lattice computer architectures and associated algorithms and is shown to be abstracted from the behavior of human beings mentally solving spatial/kinematic puzzles. There is also discussion of where in this approach the modeling of human cognition leaves o and the engineering begi...
