Learning To See Analogies: A Connectionist Exploration, Douglas S. Blank Dec 1997

Learning To See Analogies: A Connectionist Exploration, Douglas S. Blank

Computer Science Faculty Research and Scholarship

The goal of this dissertation is to integrate learning and analogy-making. Although learning and analogy-making both have long histories as active areas of research in cognitive science, not enough attention has been given to the ways in which they may interact. To that end, this project focuses on developing a computer program, called Analogator, that learns to make analogies by seeing examples of many different analogy problems and their solutions. That is, it learns to make analogies by analogy. This approach stands in contrast to most existing computational models of analogy in which particular analogical mechanisms are assumed a priori …

Incorporating A Connectionist Vision Module Into A Fuzzy, Behavior-Based Robot Controller, Doug Blank, J. Oliver Ross Jan 1997

Incorporating A Connectionist Vision Module Into A Fuzzy, Behavior-Based Robot Controller, Doug Blank, J. Oliver Ross

Computer Science Faculty Research and Scholarship

This paper describes the initial steps required to incorporate an artificial neural network vision module into an established fuzzy logic, behavior-based mobile robot and controller. This efficient and robust method is demonstrated to show its effectiveness in simple real-world environments.
