A Framework for Integrating Symbolic and Sub-Symbolic Representations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper establishes a framework that hierarchically integrates symbolic and sub-symbolic representations in an architecture for cognitive robotics. It is formalised abstractly as nodes in a hierarchy, with each node a sub-task that maintains its own belief-state and generates behaviour. An instantiation is developed for a real robot building towers of blocks, subject to human interference; this hierarchy uses a node with a concurrent multitasking teleo-reactive program, a node embedding a physics simulator to provide spatial knowledge, and nodes for sensor processing and robot control.

Conceptual Spaces for Cognitive Architectures: A Lingua Franca for Different Levels of Representation
During the last decades, many cognitive architectures (CAs) have been realized adopting different assumptions about the organization and the representation of their knowledge level. Some of them (e.g. SOAR [Laird (2012)]) adopt a classical symbolic approach, some (e.g. LEABRA [O’Reilly and Munakata (2000)]) are based on a purely connectionist model, while others (e.g. CLARION [Sun (2006)]) adop...
متن کاملIntegrating Logical and Sub-symbolic Contexts of Reasoning
We propose an extension of the heterogeneous multi-context reasoning framework by G. Brewka and T. Eiter, which, in addition to logical contexts of reasoning, also incorporates sub-symbolic contexts of reasoning. The main findings of the paper are a simple extension of the concept of bridge rules to the sub-symbolic case and the concept of bridge rule models that allows for a straightforward en...
متن کاملSymbolic and Sub-symbolic Representations in Computational Models of Human Cognition What Can be Learned from Biology?
The debate over symbolic versus sub-symbolic representations of human cognition has been continuing for thirty years, with little indication of a resolution. The argument is this: Does the human cognitive system use symbols as a representation of knowledge, and does it process symbols and their respective constituents? Or does the human cognitive system use a distributed representation of knowl...
