Neural Architectures for Database Query Processing, Syntax Analysis, Knowledge Representation, and Inference


Book Description

Artificial neural networks (ANN), due to their inherent parallelism, potential for fault tolerance, and adaptation through learning, offer an attractive computational paradigm for a variety of applications in computer science and engineering, artificial intelligence, robotics, and cognitive modeling. Despite the success in the application of ANN to a broad range of numeric tasks in pattern classification, control, function approximation, and system identification, the integration of ANN and symbolic computing is only beginning to be explored. This dissertation explores to integrate ANN and some essential symbolic computations for content-based associative symbolic processing.

Hybrid Neural Systems


Book Description

Hybrid neural systems are computational systems which are based mainly on artificial neural networks and allow for symbolic interpretation or interaction with symbolic components. This book is derived from a workshop held during the NIPS'98 in Denver, Colorado, USA, and competently reflects the state of the art of research and development in hybrid neural systems. The 26 revised full papers presented together with an introductory overview by the volume editors have been through a twofold process of careful reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: structured connectionism and rule representation; distributed neural architectures and language processing; transformation and explanation; robotics, vision, and cognitive approaches.
