A Reasoning Hardware Platform for Real-Time Common-Sense Inference
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enabling Ambient Intelligence systems to understand the activities that are taking place in a supervised context is a rather complicated task. Moreover, this task cannot be successfully addressed while overlooking the mechanisms (common-sense knowledge and reasoning) that entitle us, as humans beings, to successfully undertake it. This work is based on the premise that Ambient Intelligence systems will be able to understand and react to context events if common-sense capabilities are embodied in them. However, there are some difficulties that need to be resolved before common-sense capabilities can be fully deployed to Ambient Intelligence. This work presents a hardware accelerated implementation of a common-sense knowledge-base system intended to improve response time and efficiency.

Field Programmable Gate Array–based Implementation of an Improved Algorithm for Objects Distance Measurement (TECHNICAL NOTE)
In this work, the design of a low-cost, field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based digital hardware platform that implements image processing algorithms for real-time distance measurement is presented. Using embedded development kit (EDK) tools from Xilinx, the system is developed on a spartan3 / xc3s400, one of the common and low cost field programmable gate arrays from the Xilinx Spartan fami...
متن کاملLogical Reasoning Systems
Logical Reasoning Systems derive sound conclusions from formal declarative knowledge. Such systems are usually deened by abstract rules of inference. For example, the rule of modus ponens states that given P , and \P implies Q" (usually written P ! Q), we can infer Q. Logical systems have a rich history starting with Greek syllogisms and continuing through the work many prominent mathematicians...

متن کاملMetaphor and common-sense reasoning
>Inferenccs based on metaphors appear to play a major role in human common sense reasoning. This paper identifies and analyzes general inference patterns based upon ur Jerlying metaphors, in particular the pervasive balance principle. Strategies for metapnor comprehension are explored, and analogical mapping structures are proposed as a means of representing metaphorical relationships between d...
