Integrated Incremental Case-Based Understanding and Explanation: DMAP
Abstract
We have the following goals for our research with the direct memory access algorithm for understanding and inference: (a) using the DMA algorithm to carry out larger scale case-based reasoning; (b) improving the robustness of the understander; (c) exploring issues in parallelizing the algorithm. In what follows below, we will not make detailed reference to the algorithm, except to distinguish the two basic components of memory search - a. concept refinement, which goes from an abstract memory structure and some components of it to the most specific version of that memory structure that contains those components, and b. concept reference, which uses concept sequences to go from references to certain component concepts to the larger concept that contains those concepts. Concept refinement, for example, goes from a communication event by Milton Friedman to Milton Friedman's argument about interest rates. Concept reference goes from interest rates, and soar to the concept of rising interest rates. (kr)
