The Kernel Memory Concept – A Paradigm Shift from Conventional Connectionism
In this chapter, the general concept of kernel memory (KM) is described, which is given as the basis for not only representing the general notion of...

Linkage Learning Genetic Algorithm
In order to handle linkage evolution and to tackle the ordering problem, Harik [47] took Holland’s call [53] for the evolution of tight linkage quite...
-
Preliminaries: Assumptions and the Test Problem
After introducing the background and motivation of the linkage learning genetic algorithm, we will start to improve and understand the linkage...

From Classical Connectionist Models to Probabilistic/Generalised Regression Neural Networks (PNNs/GRNNs)
This chapter begins by briefly summarising some of the well-known classical connectionist/artificial neural network models such as multi-layered...

Language and Thinking Modules
In this chapter, we focus upon the two modules which are closely tied to the concept of “action planning”, i.e. the 1) language and 2) thinking...

Sensation and Perception Modules
In any kind of creature, both the mechanisms of sensation and perception are indispensable for continuous living, e.g. to find edible plants/fruits...

Reinforcement Learning: A Brief Overview
Learning techniques can be usefully grouped by the type of feedback that is available to the learner. A commonly drawn distinction is that between...

An Analysis of Continuous-Valued Representations for Learning Classifier Systems
Learning Classifier Systems [11] typically use a ternary representation to encode the environmental condition that a classifier matches. However,...
