The Development Of Hierarchical Knowledge In Robot Systems, Stephen W. Hart Sep 2009

The Development Of Hierarchical Knowledge In Robot Systems, Stephen W. Hart

Open Access Dissertations

This dissertation investigates two complementary ideas in the literature on machine learning and robotics--those of embodiment and intrinsic motivation--to address a unified framework for skill learning and knowledge acquisition. "Embodied" systems make use of structure derived directly from sensory and motor configurations for learning behavior. Intrinsically motivated systems learn by searching for native, hedonic value through interaction with the world. Psychological theories of intrinsic motivation suggest that there exist internal drives favoring open-ended cognitive development and exploration. I argue that intrinsically motivated, embodied systems can learn generalizable skills, acquire control knowledge, and form an epistemological understanding of the world …


Computer Assisted Diagnoses For Red Eye (Cadre), Dr. Muhammad Zubair Asghar Aug 2009

Computer Assisted Diagnoses For Red Eye (Cadre), Dr. Muhammad Zubair Asghar

Dr. Muhammad Zubair Asghar

This paper introduces an expert System (ES) named as “CADRE-Computer Assisted Diagnoses for Red Eye. Mostly the remote areas of the population are deprived of the facilities of having experts in eye disease. So it is the need of the day to store the expertise of Eye specialists in computers through using ES technology. This ES is a rule-based Expert System that assists in red-eye diagnosis and treatment. The knowledge acquired from literature review and human experts of the specific domain was used as a base for analysis, diagnosis and recommendations. CADRE evaluates the risk factors of 20 eye diseases …
