The proposed model effectively supports the necessary components of an expert system such as user interface facility knowledge base, inference engine, and explanation system. The expert system model (ESM) consists of several orders of simple neural networks, each realizing a simple task. These simple neural networks are organized vertically, thereby achieving a second level of parallelism. A novel way to handle both forward and backward chaining reasoning mechanisms is presented. A secondary network model monitors the reasoning patterns of the primary model.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":371778,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Third International Conference on Tools for Artificial Intelligence - TAI 91","volume":"662 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121998742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm exploits the fact that planar shapes can be completely described by contour segments, and that they can be decomposed at their maximum concavity into simpler objects. To reduce spurious decomposition, the decomposed segments are merged hypotheses. The algorithm calculates the linking possibility by weighting the angular differentiation which measures against k-curvature consistency. The techniques were implemented and applied to other partial shape matching problems for clustering purposes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":371778,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Third International Conference on Tools for Artificial Intelligence - TAI 91","volume":"513 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123249131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The principle was derived by maximizing the output information of the network.

A new real-time planning algorithm, DYNORA, is proposed to address both of these issues simultaneously. DYNORA is structured as a sequence of partial planning and execution cycles to avoid obsolescence of planning solutions at the time of execution. DYNORA uses a stopping criterion to balance planning cost and execution cost to achieve near optimal response times. DYNORA was used for the routing problem to optimize total cost. It shows better average-case time complexity than traditional real-time algorithms.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":371778,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Third International Conference on Tools for Artificial Intelligence - TAI 91","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125826996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
