Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation describes a computer simulation model of paranoia. The model mimics the behavior of a patient participating in a psychiatric interview by answering questions, introducing its own topics, and responding to negatively-valued (e. g., threatening or shame-producing) situations. The work focuses on the motivational mechanisms required to instigate and direct the modelled behavior. Major components of the model are: (1) A production system (PS) formalism accounting for the instigation and guidance of behavior as a function of internal (affective) and external (real-word) environmental factors; (2) A model of affects (emotions) as an anticipation mechanism based on a small number of basic pain-pleasure factors; and (3) a formalism for intensional behavior (directed by internal models) requiring a dual representation of symbol and concept. An intensional object (belief) can be accessed either by sensing it in the environment (concept) or by its name (token). Similarly, an intensional action (intention) can be specified either by its conditions in the immediate environment (concept) or by its name (token). Issues of intelligence, psychopathological modelling, and artificial intelligence programming are discussed. The paranoid phenomenon is found to be explainable as an extremely skewed use of normal processes. Applications of these constructs are found to be useful in AI programs dealing with error recovery, incompletely specified input data, and natural language specification of tasks to perform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewing the human brain as "the most complex and powerful computer known," with a memory capacity and computational power exceeding the largest mainframe systems, Professor Baron sets the groundwork for understanding the computational structure and organization of the human brain. He provides the introductory framework necessary for this new and growing field of investigation and he discusses human vision, mental imagery, sensory-motor functions, audition, affect and behavior.

Download or read book Pattern Directed Inference Systems written by D. A. Waterman and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pattern-Directed Inference Systems provides a description of the design and implementation of pattern-directed inference systems (PDIS) for various applications. The book also addresses the theoretical significance of PDIS for artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology. The book is divided into eight sections. The introduction provides a brief overview of pattern-directed inference systems, including a historical perspective, a review of basic concepts, and a survey of work in this area. Subsequent chapters address topics on architecture and design, methods for accessing and controlling rule based systems, methods for obtaining adaptive behavior via rule-based systems and cognitive modeling. Constructing models of human information processing, natural language understanding and multilevel systems and complexity are described as well. The last section discusses the earlier chapters in the book and provides a unifying set of principles for the PDIS formalism. Computer scientists, psychologists, engineers, and researchers in artificial intelligence will find the book very informative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial intelligence, or AI, is largely an experimental science--at least as much progress has been made by building and analyzing programs as by examining theoretical questions. MYCIN is one of several well-know programs that embody some intelligence and provide data on the extent to which intelligent behavior can be programmed. As with other AI programs, its development was slow and not always in a forward direction. The book shares the results of nearly a decade of work, the experiments performed, and present a coherent picture of the work. It presents a critical analysis of several pieces of related research, performed by a large number of scientists. The whole field of AI will benefit from detailed, retrospective examinations of experiments, for this is the way the scientific foundations of the field will gradually be defined. This is the reason this analysis of the MCYIN experiments is being offered to readers.

Book excerpt: The first volume to appear on this topic and now a classic in the field, "Intelligent Tutoring Systems" provides the reader with descriptions of the major systems implemented before 1981. The introduction seeks to emphasise the principal contributions made in the field, to outline continuing research issues, and to relate these to research activities in artificial intelligence and cognitive science. Subject areas discussed are as varied as arithmetic, algebra, electronics, and medicine, together with some informal gaming environments.

Download or read book Transfer of Rule based Expertise Through a Tutorial Dialogue written by William J. Clancey and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation describes an intelligent, computer-aided instructional (ICAI) program, named GUIDON, with capabilities to carry on a structured case method dialogue, generate teaching material from production rules, construct and verify a model of what the student knows, and explain expert reasoning. The principle objective of this research has been to convert MYCIN, a knowledge-based consultation program, into an effective instructional tool. GUIDON combines the subject matter knowledge of the consultation system with tutorial discourse knowledge, while keeping the two distinct. MYCIN-like knowledge-based consultation programs are designed to provide expert-level advice about difficult scientific and medical problems. High performance is attained by interpreting a large, specialized set of facts and domain relations that take the form of rules about what to do in a given circumstance. Such a rule base is generally built by interviewing human experts to formulate the knowledge that they use to solve similar problems in their area of expertise. While it is generally believed that these programs have significant educational potential, little work has been done to evaluate the problems of realizing this potential.
