An MFIS for Computing a Raw Cognitive Map
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper extends Yeap's [1988] computational theory of cognitive maps, focusing on the problem of computing a raw cognitive map by an autonomous agent. In addition to having a 150° view of the environment as input, the agent also maintains a representation of her immediate surroundings. This representation is referred to as an MFIS, a Memory For one's Immediate Surroundings. Arguments for the use of the MFIS are presented. The main questions that we ask in implementing our ideas are: (i) what frame of reference is appropriate for the MFIS? and (ii) how does the MFIS change as the agent moves through the environment? A program has been implemented successfully and the main algorithms used and the results of running the program are presented.

The Utility of Global Representations in a Cognitive Map
In this paper we propose the use of small global memory for a viewer’s immediate surroundings to assist in recognising places that have been visited previously. We call this global memory a Memory for the Immediate Surroundings (MFIS). Our previous work [1, 2] on building a cognitive map has focused on computing a representation for the different local spaces the viewer visits. The different lo...
متن کاملRepresenting Large Scale Space - A Computational Theory of Cognitive Maps
We present a computational theory of cognitive maps which proposes that the cognitive map, a representation for a viewer’s experience of their spatial environment, comprises two loosely coupled modules, the raw cognitive map and the full cognitive map. The raw map is a representation for the spatial arrangement and physical characteristics of surfaces. The various interpretations (or conceptual...
متن کاملComputing a Representation of the Local Environment
Yeap [42] argued that an important basis for computing a cognitive map is the ability to compute and recognise local environments. Although he has demonstrated how such local environments could be used to construct a raw cognitive map, he failed to produce an adequate algorithm for computing them. In this paper, a detailed study of this problem is presented. We argue that although each local en...
متن کاملZ-Cognitive Map: An Integrated Cognitive Maps and Z-Numbers Approach under Cognitive Information
Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...
