Integrating rules and connectionism for robust commonsense reasoning
One of the most difficult problems facing researchers in artificial intelligence has been the inability of traditional models to capture the flexible and robust nature of commonsense reasoning. Ron Sun's innovative work takes a refreshing new approach to this persistent problem by explaining and modeling commonsense reasoning with a combination of rules and similarities, all under a connectionist rubric. Integrating Rules and Connectionism for Robust Commonsense Reasoning surveys areas of rule-based reasoning, connectionist models, inheritance, causality and similarity-based reasoning, and goes on to introduce a new framework and a novel connectionist architecture for modeling commonsense reasoning that synthesizes many of these areas. Along with this framework, the book proposes a set of interrelated new ideas regarding the modeling of commonsense reasoning which are highly...
