چکیده

A connectionist model for robust reasoning, CONSYDERR, is proposed to account for some common reasoning patterns found in commonsense reasoning and to remedy the brittleness problem. A dual representational scheme is devised, which utilizes both localist representation and distributed representation with features. We explore the synergy resulted from the interaction between these two types of representations, which helps to deal with problems such as partial information, no exact match, property inheritance, rule interaction, etc. Because of this, the CONSYDERR system is capable of accounting for many diicult patterns in commonsense reasoning. This work also shows that connectionist models of reasoning are not just an \implementation" of their symbolic counterparts, but better computational models of common sense reasoning, taking into consideration of the approximate, evidential and adaptive nature of reasoning, and accounting for the spontaneity and parallelism in reasoning processes.

Integrating Hybrid Rule-Based with Case-Based Reasoning

In this paper, we present an approach integrating neurule-based and case-based reasoning. Neurules are a kind of hybrid rules that combine a symbolic (production rules) and a connectionist representation (adaline unit). Each neurule is represented as an adaline unit. One way that the neurules can be produced is from symbolic rules by merging the symbolic rules having the same conclusion. In thi...

INTEGRATING CASE-BASED REASONING, KNOWLEDGE-BASED APPROACH AND TSP ALGORITHM FOR MINIMUM TOUR FINDING

Imagine you have traveled to an unfamiliar city. Before you start your daily tour around the city, you need to know a good route. In Network Theory (NT), this is the traveling salesman problem (TSP). A dynamic programming algorithm is often used for solving this problem. However, when the road network of the city is very complicated and dense, which is usually the case, it will take too long fo...

Seeking coherent explanations — a fusion of structured connectionism, temporal synchrony, and evidential reasoning

A connectionist model capable of performing rapid inferences to establish explanatory and referential coherence is described. The model’s ability to perform such inferences arises from (i) its structure, (ii) its use of mutual inhibition among “sibling” types, entities, and rules, (iii) the use of temporal synchrony for representing dynamic bindings, and (iv) its ability to rapidly modify weigh...
