71. Problem Solving in Open Worlds

    A Case Study in Design

    By Thomas R. Hinrichs

    This book presents a computational model of design problem solving in which problems may be under-specified and domain knowledge may be incomplete. The approach combines plausible inference methods for generating, adapting, and evaluating designs, together with a flexible control strategy that...

72. The Symbolic and Connectionist Paradigms

    Closing the Gap

    Edited by John Dinsmore

    The modern study of cognition finds itself with two widely endorsed but seemingly incongruous theoretical paradigms. The first of these, inspired by formal logic and the digital computer, sees reasoning in the principled manipulation of structured symbolic representations. The second, inspired by...

    An Integrated Computational Model of A Perceptual-motor System

    By William R. Uttal, Gary Bradshaw, Sriram Dayanand, Robb Lovell, Thomas Shepherd

    Series: Scientific Psychology Series

    This research monograph describes a large programming project in which an underwater organism, capable of perceiving, learning, deciding, and navigating, is computationally simulated. The developed computational model serves as a contemporary theory of perceptual-motor performance, embodying much...

74. Evaluating Explanations

    A Content Theory

    By David B. Leake

    Series: Artificial Intelligence Series

    Psychology and philosophy have long studied the nature and role of explanation. More recently, artificial intelligence research has developed promising theories of how explanation facilitates learning and generalization. By using explanations to guide learning, explanation-based methods allow...

75. Questions and Information Systems

    Edited by Thomas W. Lauer, Eileen Peacock, Arthur C. Graesser

76. Computer Assisted Instruction and Intelligent Tutoring Systems

    Shared Goals and Complementary Approaches

    Edited by Jill H. Larkin, Ruth W. Chabay

    Series: Technology and Education Series

    The fields of computer-assisted instruction and intelligent tutoring systems have had few vehicles for sharing ideas or programs. Different backgrounds and settings meant reading different journals and attending different conferences. The purpose of this book is to foster a mutual understanding of...

78. Motivation, Emotion, and Goal Direction in Neural Networks

    Edited by Daniel S. Levine, Samuel J. Leven

    The articles gathered in this volume represent examples of a unique approach to the study of mental phenomena: a blend of theory and experiment, informed not just by easily measurable laboratory data but also by human introspection. Subjects such as approach and avoidance, desire and fear, and...

    The 22nd Carnegie Mellon Symposium on Cognition

    Edited by Kurt VanLehn, Kurt Van Lehn

    Series: Carnegie Mellon Symposia on Cognition Series

    This unique volume focuses on computing systems that exhibit intelligent behavior. As such, it discusses research aimed at building a computer that has the same cognitive architecture as the mind -- permitting evaluations of it as a model of the mind -- and allowing for comparisons between...

80. Artificial Believers

    The Ascription of Belief

    By Afzal Ballim, Yorick Wilks

    Modeling of individual beliefs is essential to the computer understanding of natural languages. Phenomena at all levels -- syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic -- cannot be fully analyzed in the absence of models of a hearer and of the hearer's model of other believers. The heart of this text is the...
