Abstract:

As the technology of computer systems matures, it is becoming clear that conventional techniques are inadequate for complex applications, and attention is being increasingly directed at the use of Knowledge-Based Systems technology. Critical problems in Knowledge-Based Systems are the representation of the expertise from the selected application, and in harnessing sufficient computing power to utilise the stored expertise. An idea which is currently popular in Artificial Intelligence research is that of using parallel processing to ensure that the expertise or knowledge is used effectively, wi

Abstract:

This thesis presents a connectionist theory of how infinite languages may fit within finite minds. Arguments are presented against the distinction between linguistic competence and observable language performance. It is suggested that certain kinds of finite state automata, i.e recurrent neural networks are likely to have suffcient computational power,and the necessary generalization capability,to serve as models for the procesing and acquisition of linguistic structure.

Abstract:

Connectionism, a new technique for modeling cognitive processes, has been presented by its supporters as a revolutionary advance that will soon replace conventional artificial intelligence (AI) research based on the serial computer. In this thesis, I identify three 'gambits' with which critics attempt to undermine connectionist claims, and show that use of these gambits depends on the status of the respondent's own discipline. I argue that in cases where the respondent's discipline has an accepted identity, for example biology and psychology, they take contradictory stances on the issue of con

Abstract:

Connectionism's main contribution to cognitive science will prove to be the renewed impetus it has imparted to learning. Learning can be integrated into the existing theoretical foundations of the subject, and the combination, statistical computational theories, provide a framework within which many connectionist mathematical mechanisms naturally fit. Examples from supervised and reinforcement learning demonstrate this. Statistical computational theories already exist for certainn associative matrix memories. This work is extended, allowing real valued synapses and arbitrarily biased inputs. I

Abstract:

A cognitive process model is developed that predicts the 3 major symbolic comparison response time effects (distance, end, and semantic congruity) found in the results of the linear syllogistic reasoning task. The model assumes that people generate an ordering of a finite set of symbolic stimuli on the basis of information contained in the pairwise relations between adjacent stimulus items. The learning of this ordering is simulated within a simple connectionist framework. The decision-making component of the model utilizes 2 separate evidence accrual processes operating in parallel.

Abstract:

Two connectionist models are developed that predict humans' categorization of facial expressions of emotion and their judgements of similarity between two facial expressions. For each stimulus, the models predict the subjects' judgement, the entropy of the response, and the mean response time (RT). Both models involve a connectionist component which predicts the response probabilities and a response generator which predicts the mean RT. The input to the categorization model is a preprocessed picture of a facial expression, while the hidden unit representations generated by the first model for

Abstract:

This study examines the use of the neural net paradigm as a modeling tool to represent word meanings. The neural net paradigm, also called "connectionism" and "parallel distributed processing," provides a new metaphor and vocabulary for representing the structure of the mental lexicon. As a research method applied to the componential analysis of word meanings, the neural net approach has one primary advantage over the traditional introspective method: freedom from the investigator's personal biases.The connectionist method is illustrated in this thesis with an extensive examination of the mean

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to establish evidence for the suggested integration of the theories of connectionism and leadership. Recent theoretical writings in the field of leadership have suggested that the dynamic representations generated by the connectionist perspective is an appropriate approach to understanding how we perceive leaders. Similarly, implicit leadership theory (ILT) explains that our cognitive understandings of leaders are based on a cognitive structure that we use as a means of understanding and categorizing the behaviors of individuals we believe to be leaders.

Abstract:

<p>In this thesis we have investigated what concepts are and how they may be represented. We have seen that conceptual representations can be achieved by employing distributed representations in a hidden layer of a neural net- work. A pattern of activity is in this respect a conceptualization while the concept(s) it belongs to is a region of space treated alike by similarity based generalization. That is, the conceptualization may still have its individual properties only attributed to itself, but the properties relevant to the concept are shared among the representations in that region of spa

<p>In this work we explore how close the artificial intelligence community has come to model the human mind regarding representation and processing of sequences. We analyse results produced by cognitive psychologists, who explore real minds, for features exhibited by human short- and long-term memory when representing and processing sequences. We compare these features with theories and models from the AI community divided into two types of theories: intrinsic and extrinsic theories. We conclude that the intrinsic theories have managed to explain most of the features, whereas the extrinsic the

This thesis puts forward a formal theory of levels and algorithms to provide a foundation for those terms as they are used in much of cognitive science and computer science. Abstraction with respect to concreteness is distinguished from abstraction with respect to detail, resulting in three levels of concreteness and a large number of algorithmic levels, which are levels of detail and the primary focus of the theory. An algorithm or ideal machine is a set of sequences of states defining a particular level of detail. Rather than one fundamental ideal machine to describe the behaviour of a compl

Thus, we present a discussion on the rule-based account of normativity understood as a sort of intersubjective practice grounded in practical skills and learning processes as well.
