{"pk":31776,"title":"Concept Hierarchy Networks for Inheritance Systems: Concept Formations, Property Inhertitance and Conflict Resolution","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Most inheritance systems which use hierarchi-\ncal representation of knowledge, do not consider\nlearning. In this paper, a concept hierarchy net-\nwork model based on adaptive resonance theory\nis proposed for inheritance systems, which ex-\nplicitly includes learning as one of its major de-\nsign goals. B y chunking relations between con-\ncepts as cognitive codes, concept hierarchy can\nbe learned/modified through experience. Fur-\nthermore, fuzzy relations between concepts can\nbe represented by weights on links connecting\nthem. It is shown that by a spreading activation\nprocess based on code firing, and competition be-\ntween conflicting concepts, the model is able to\nexhibit property inheritance and to resolve such\nconflicting situations as exceptions and conflicting multiple inheritance.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Submitted Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/893204z6","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Hui-Shin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Vivien Soon","name_suffix":"","institution":"Northeastern University","department":""},{"first_name":"Ah-Hwee","middle_name":"","last_name":"Tan","name_suffix":"","institution":"Neural Systems Boston University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1993-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31776/galley/22844/download/"}]}
