A NEW CONCEPT IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Abstract
The primary subject of discussion in this report is the conceptual aspects of CHILD (Cognitive Hybrid Intelligent Learning Device). CHILD is a self-adaptive learning machine which was conceived, designed, and constructed at the Information Processing Lab., Rome Air Development Center. An attempt is made to describe learning machines in a functional sense in order to isolate the unique properties of this concept. To do this, learning machines must be placed on some common ground. Therefore, adaptive learning devices will be viewed as networks of redundant adaptive elements which are capable of being organized by some learning logic. The common function per formed by the ng machines under consideration here consists basically of a remapping of the sensory space in some manner which will enable decision elements to divide the remapped sensory inputs into various classes. The primary adaptive function of such machines is (or should be) the determination of the transformation(s) required in order to successfully solve the given problem. With this common basis for comparison, the unique properties of CHILD as a new concept in artificial intelligence should become apparent.
