Research Proposal for MS (by Research) and/or PhD aKnowledge Representation & Memory Functionality in Human Brain using ALNNs & fMRI1Biswa SenguptaUniversity of York, EnglandMind. A mysterious form of matter secreted by the brain. Its chief activity consists in the endeavour to ascertain its own nature; the futility of the attempt being due to the fact that it has nothing but itself toknow itself with.-- Ambrose Bierce A bstractIt can be argued that generally accepted methodologies of Artificial Intelligence research are limited in the proportion of human level intelligence they can be expected to emulate. This proposal aims to understand knowledge/data representation in human brain along with understanding memory modules through the usage of Artificial Life Neural Networks (ALNNs) & fMRI data from brain scans and eventually simulating the algorithm produced, if possible, on a Cellular Automata Machine (CAM) or a similar structure. This research would add a new paradigm to evolvable neural network research & machine learning techniques presently available. A principle tenet of my methodology is to build & test real robotic systems based on the work envisaged.IntroductionDoctors see man as a neurological and biological system. Mathematicians consider man a collection of logic and computational devices. Whereas, computer experts call them interactive robots. Most of today s application is just superficial application of logic developed by the human s way of doing things. What we now require to meet the challenge of these unpredictable and confusing times is a new paradigm to guide a new age. The implicit dream of AI has been to build human level intelligence. Though building a humanoid robot is challenging but recent progress in many fields shows that it is practical to make serious attempts at this goal.The research aims to take a sub-symbolic (by saying this I am not ruling out the features of symbolic AI that tends to be helpful at times) knowledge representation (cybernetic intelligence) for problem solving techniques in designing intelligent machines and control of complex systems. It will mainly encompass non-linear and optimal control of distributed & intelligent systems through designing novel neural networks. Information processing and memory elements in human brain will be the prima facie of this research. The idea moves from the contention that matter is merely a manifestation of energy. The problem is that we have no evidence for a non-material thinking substance that survives death. The problem of consciousness has been called the mind-brain problem or the ontological problem. This idea generally encompasses the popular dualism philosophy of the mind. Paul Churchland at the University of California (San Diego) calls this interactionist property dualism. Though we shouldn t entirely rule out materialism, which suggest that the brain enables the mind. What I mean that qualia, which many cognitive scientists explain as souls of experiences is a matter. Qualia is specialised perceptual & cognitive capacity we humans enjoy. Let me cite an example, we would not be overwhelmed if we happen to remember an incident of the past which may have occurred many years ago. Hence huge amount of text, sounds & video is stored in our 150cc brain. But we need to take into account that humans do not construct a full monolithic model of the environment. There is a need to better understand the data mining information model and the phenomenon of memory in the brain.1 I am yet to start the final year of my undergraduate class hence, the views expressed here fall short of the understanding that I would develop during my dissertation on Effect of Synaptic Plasticity on CA1/CA3 hippocampal pyramidal neurons. Also this research may be a bit too optimistic for a single PhD project, so we will use the historic divide and conquer rule for this.Problem Statement & Research QuestionsThe question is Can we emulate this on the neural network structures? Perhaps not. This is where Artificial Life Neural Networks (ALNNs) become useful. They live in physical networks or in other words they are ecological networks. In ALNNs, the physical environment assigns semantics to the output of the nervous system. The behaviour of ALNNs is the result of the output of the network itself, the environment, and of their interactions. I am deeply engrossed with the thought of using ALNN in an effort to understand data representation and memory in human brain. It would be fascinating to know that the input of an ALNN primarily encodes the state of the local physical environment around the organism. There the physical environment would be of par importance in assigning a semantic to the activation pattern of the input and the output of the neural network. Eventually, ALNNs may acquire through evolution an ability to extract from the environment, reinforcement learning signals or auto-generated teaching inputs and use them to adapt to the environment during their lifetime. Most ANN models are far from the biological reality; modelling neurons and synapses and developing computational tolls able to perform efficiently in perceptive tasks are different businesses despite a common inspiration.I envisage implementing the outcome and understanding of this research, if possible in the form of an algorithm on a cellular automata machine (CAM), which presently would be a RAM based lookup table hardware device [Toffoli & Margolus 1990], using Evolutionary & Genetic Algorithms.This research would add an insight to other research that aims to understand the human brain in greater depth thus implementing the mind electronically. It will add to our existing knowledge in making clever robots & add to the present family of robots like MIT s COG & KISMET (though Minsky explains that the researchers are not very candid about the limitations of the performance of their systems) and Sony s Aibo. Such an artificial nervous system will be too complex to be humanly designable, but it may be possible to evolve it, and incrementally, by adding neural modules to an already functional artificial nervous system.Theoretical and experimental researches have a reciprocal relationship theories suggest experiments, while experiments confirm or disconfirm theories and suggest new bases for theories. Second, the data that has already been collected clearly demonstrates to an impartial observer that the phenomenon exists, so as far as the idea is concerned looking for further proof of existence is sterile. As the rising flood reaches more populated heights, machines will begin to do well in areas a greater number can appreciate. The visceral sense of a thinking presence in machinery will become increasingly widespread. The presence of minds in machines will then become self-evident.I plan to decipher knowledge representation in brain using the already available information on layering, hyper-columnarisation, neurochemical modulation, splitting neurons, retina/LGN, thalamus & V1, early associate visual cortex, temporal lobe/hypothalamus, hippocampus (for memory representation), etc. If time permits I foresee a need of constructing multi-module expansion for ALNN with automatic training. Over time, artificial nervous systems should grow in complexity, until they can be called emotional machines. An alternative approach of using a CAM is to use Eldridge and Hutchings run-time reconfigurable (FPGA) hardware system (RRANN) to execute a back-propagation learning algorithm in a feed-forward neural network.Review of Related ResearchThis research is certain to revolutionize the field of neural networks and artificial life, because it will provide a powerful new tool to evolve artificial brains with billions of neurons, and at electronic speeds. This will help to produce the Darwin Machine, i.e. a machine that evolves its own architecture. To the best of my knowledge, I wouldn t deny that similar research is going in different labs across the world but MIT s Media Lab & the AI Lab (especially the Living Machines group) require a special mention. The second is in Switzerland at the EPFL under Eduardo Sanchez & Prof. Dario Floreano. Belgium s Lernout & Hauspie (L&H) is using a CAM for speech processing feasibility studies. Several scientists acrossBelgium, Japan, Poland, China & the US are known to have been looking on related aspects of this research. I think at some point in time, I have to visit the Delayed Pointer Neural Net (DePo NN) based on Collect & Distribute Neural Net (CoDi) model & the electronic Learning Evolutionary Model (eLEM)along with Prof. Tom Mitchellimages. Terry Sejnowski at Salk Institute, has done a lot of work from modelling the hippocampus, to face recognition to speech recognition to motion perception, the latest being independent component analysis & temporal hebbian learning.Deliverable and Program Schedule (Course of Action)I have had this ambition to understand the brain since I was a grade 8 student. My undergraduate degree in Electronics & Computer Engineering would have an impetus to my attained knowledge on belief networks in dynamic systems. I am confident that my understanding of cognition modules through a signalling point of view in my undergraduate dissertation will help me to develop the relevant models for data (as an abstract of feelings) & memory in human brain. I plan to complete the first phase of my research i.e., to develop an algorithm to mimic this representation by the end of my MS & then I would like to continue implementing the outcome of my research in due course of my PhD. This will allow researchers involved with decision-making & machine learning to better understand the state space on which the former is implemented, constrained by completely noisy, constantly changing environment. Research Design, Methodology & ApproachFigure 1 Proposed model for the researchI plan to use fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) data with a machine learning perspective for my research. An fMRI plot produces time-series data that represent brain activity in a collection of 2D slices of the brain. Multiple 2D slices can be captured, forming a 3D image that may contain on the order of 15,000 voxels. The resulting fMRI time series thus provides us with a high resolution 3D movie of the activation across a large fraction of the brain. This would be done by automatically classifying the instantaneous cognitive state of a human being, given his/her observed fMRI activity at a single time instant or time interval. But I see some problems like cognitive activity can change within 20 milliseconds, while a single 3D scan commonly takes 3 seconds, by which point dozens if not hundreds of different cognitive events could have occurred. This problem is compounded by the activation in a timepoint having been caused by a neurophysiologic event around 8 seconds earlier (since blood oxygen levels what fMRI actually records take this long to build up). Second of all, given that the human brain is parallel, and given that we are incredibly complex in our thinking patterns, the exact same task could be carried out ( in terms of cognitive states at least) quite differently on different occasions within subjects and between subjects, even if performance is identical. Keeping these perils in mind, I would use classifiers like Gaussian naïve Bayes (GNB) as a tool for decoding and tracking the sequence of hidden cognitive states of a subject. A large success of this research relies on machine learning algorithms that can successfully learn the spatial-temporal fMRI patterns that distinguish these cognitive states.For this we should clarify our understanding of how the brain and nerves actually generate thought and language. We understand the brain at the low level, the individual neurons, and we also have the capability to understand the high level, in the sense of which part lights up when I am writing this proposal. I am aware of the limitations that can arise when trying to emulate complex thought processes but am optimistic on my capabilities.Though I have mentioned my view, to implement the algorithm on a CAM, I am pretty unsure if this becomes a non-result oriented method in the future. I plan to switch to other methodology if this approach looks pessimistic. I have concluded that this research is interesting and ambitious, but in so far as it is a life-long project (maybe several life-times) I think I need to make it even more ambitious, for the simple reason that the system I am trying to understand has many levels of abstraction and I don t think any of them can be fully understood without the others. BUT one doesn t have to understand all levels equally well, and for some questions one can ignore the lowest levels. Likewise, biological evolution evolved designs at different levels of abstraction. They co-evolved. Some aspects of the higher-level machines are implementation independent and some implementation dependent. So, it would be a good idea to understand the highest level of cognitive function first.I agree with what Piaget discovered that for example the architecture of the mind of a 3 year old child is very different from that of a typical adult, and may be even adult architectures can vary, depending on the culture, personal development trajectories, trauma, etc.The proposed research can be outlined as in Figure 1. The basic questions that I wish to explore are: How the human brain stores experiences of past events by diving them into fragments?How neuro-transmitters help the process (using perhaps action-potential)?When presented with relevant information, how does the brain co-relate the input i.e., the essential link between vision & audio to match that information?What sort of an algorithm that can mimic this behaviour? Hence I am basically heading towards brain-based knowledge representation architecture.I am still building up other perspectives not limiting only to levels that are relatively close to brain structure. For this I am learning and reading on Central Nervous System as neuroscience has been developing rapidly over the last 25 years. I am making an effort to understand the organization of the real nervous system, and, along with that, the organization of behaviours as seen in the field of ethology, where there are interesting studies of behavioural evolution which is fundamental to understanding brain evolution. Also at present, my time is adsorbed on maximum likelihood, information theory & expectation maximization (esp. Baum s algorithm) apart from enlightening myself with probability theory, pattern recognition and signal processing.Constructing a mind is simply a different kind of problem of how we can synthesise organizational systems that can support a large enough diversity of different schemes, yet enable them to work together to exploit one another s abilities. I gaze to the question of self-organization, whether some processes can dissipate energy (computer cycles) and locally reverse entropy (get more & more complex). In other words, what kind of system can eventually produce a brain, rather than what is the brain.I will not rule out the fact that I might come across techniques that may change my angle of attack towards the problem and help in formation of a robust algorithm. I presume that my multitude encounters with hardcore research in the British Aerospace DCSC lab in the form of developing scenario based assessment (for software reliability) to produce an algorithm using neural network & genetic algorithms, will help my capability as a prospective researcher. The work here developed my critical understanding of search space. Especially, my knowledge on meta-heuristic search along with reliability perspective of software using Markov Analysis, Queuing Networks, Stochastic Petri Nets (SPN), etc to name a few have been greatly enlightened here. I have also thought of taking an initiative to develop parallel search spaces, but it needs a bit more thought.I am indebted to Marvin Minsky (co-founder MIT AI Labs), Aaron Sloman (University of Birmingham), Gerald E. Schneider (MIT Brain & Cognitive Science) & Jordan Pollack (Brandeis) for increasing my productivity by their useful inputs during the writing of this research proposal.References1.Parisi D., Cecconi F., and Nolfi S.

知识的表征：总结我们每天都会通过眼睛和耳朵以及其他感觉器官，收集大量的信息。

虽然大部分信息我们都记不住，但就算是能记住的那些，也并不是全都会被看作知识。

每个人都曾在学校里学习过大量知识。

我们每天也会自学大量的知识。

所以，关于知识，人人都是业余的心理学家。

每个人都或多或少地了解人类是如何理解、学习、表达和运用知识的。

这周，我们已经读了《认知心理学及其启示》的第五章，知识的表征。

现在，我们对于知识的认识，应该会更加专业了。

5.2.1这一节，从Wanner的实验可以看出，人们通常并不能记住别人在说话时具体用了哪些词语，但能记住别人说的那番话的意义。

这个实验并不令人意外。

大家都有很多切身体会。

斯宾诺莎（Baruch Spinoza，1632-1677）是17世纪著名的荷兰哲学家，他的哲学思想以其系统性和深刻性而闻名于世。

他的著作《伦理学》被视为西方哲学史上的经典之作，其中包含了他对知识分类和真观念的独特见解。

本文将就斯宾诺莎的知识分类和真观念进行解释和探讨。

1. 知识分类斯宾诺莎在其著作《伦理学》中提出了他的知识分类观念。

他认为，知识可以被分为三种不同的类型，即：想象知识（knowledge of the first kind）、理解知识（knowledge of the second kind）和直觉知识（knowledge of the third kind）。

1.1 想象知识想象知识是指基于感觉和想象力获得的知识。

斯宾诺莎认为，这种知识是最低级别的知识，它是由外部世界的事物所引发的感觉和想象而产生的。

这种知识是不可靠的，因为它容易受到感官的误导和想象力的干扰。

当我们只凭借感觉和想象就对事物进行判断时，经常会产生错误的认知。

1.2 理解知识理解知识是指通过理性思维和推理获得的知识。

斯宾诺莎认为，这种知识是相对可靠的，因为理性思维和推理能够帮助我们摆脱感官的误导和想象力的干扰，更接近于事物的本质。

当我们运用逻辑推理和理性分析来认识事物时，就能避免想象知识的错误和偏见，获得更为准确和深刻的认知。

1.3 直觉知识直觉知识是指通过直接洞察和内心体验获得的知识。

斯宾诺莎认为，这种知识是最高级别的知识，它能够帮助我们超越理性思维和推理，直接认识事物的本质和内在通联。

当我们通过灵感和直觉来洞察事物的本质时，就能获得更为深刻和全面的认知。

2. 真观念斯宾诺莎在其著作《伦理学》中提出了他的真观念理论。

他认为，真观念是指反映事物本质的认知观念，它是用理性思维和直觉洞察获得的，能够帮助我们认识事物的本质和内在通联，是最为可靠和深刻的认知。

2.1 真观念的特征斯宾诺莎认为，真观念具有以下几个特征：2.1.1 真理性真观念是反映事物本质的认知观念，它具有真实性和客观性，能够指导我们正确地认识和理解事物。

简述知识的表征
知识的表征是指将知识以某种形式展现出来，使得人们能够理解和应用这些知识。

在计算机科学领域，知识的表征是人工智能和机器学习的重要研究方向之一。

以下将介绍几种常见的知识表征方法，并进行拓展。

1. 符号逻辑：符号逻辑是一种基于逻辑推理和符号运算的知识表征方法。

它将知识表示为一组逻辑命题和规则，使用符号来表示对象、关系和操作，通过逻辑推理来推导新的知识。

符号逻辑的优势在于它能够进行精确的推理和推导，但它对知识的表示和推理的复杂性有一定的限制。

2. 语义网络：语义网络是一种使用节点和边表示对象和关系的知识表征方法。

节点表示实体或概念，边表示它们之间的关系。

通过构建语义网络，可以将知识以图形方式展示出来，便于人们理解和推理。

语义网络的优势在于它能够灵活地表示复杂的关系和知识结构，但它对知识的表示和推理的效率有一定的挑战。

3. 本体论：本体论是一种基于语义的知识表征方法，它将知识表示为一组概念和关系的层次结构。

本体是一种形式化的规范，定义了概念之间的关系和属性。

通过使用本体，可以将知识以一种结构化和一致的方式进行表达，便于知识的共享和集成。

本体论的优势在于它能够提供一种统一的知识表示和推理框架，但它对知识的建模和维护的复杂度较高。

除了以上几种常见的知识表征方法，还有一些其他的方法，如神经网络、贝叶斯
网络等。

这些方法在知识表征方面有着各自的优势和应用场景。

此外，随着深度学习和自然语言处理等技术的发展，知识表征也得到了更多的关注和研究。

未来，我们可以期待更加高效和智能的知识表征方法的出现，以进一步提升人工智能和机器学习的能力。

知识表示（knowledge representation）是指把知识客体中的知识因子与知识关联起来，便于人们识别和理解知识。

知识表示是知识组织的前提和基础，任何知识组织方法都是要建立在知识表示的基础上。

知识表示有主观知识表示和客观知识表示两种。

结构知识的表示就是对知识的一种描述，或者说是对知识的一组约定，一种计算机可以接受的用于描述知识的数据结构。

某种意义上讲，表示可视为数据结构及其处理机制的综合：表示= 数据结构+处理机制。

因此在ES中知识表示是ES 中能够完成对专家的知识进行计算机处理的一系列技术手段。

常见的有产生式规则、语义网、框架法等。

方法经过国内外学者的共同努力，已经有许多知识表示方法得到了深入的研究，使用较多的知识表示方法主要有以下几种知识表示方法。

（1）逻辑表示法逻辑表示法以谓词形式来表示动作的主体、客体，是一种叙述性知识表示方法。

利用逻辑公式，人们能描述对象、性质、状况和关系。

它主要用于自动定理的证明。

逻辑表示法主要分为命题逻辑和谓词逻辑。

逻辑表示研究的是假设与结论之间的蕴涵关系，即用逻辑方法推理的规律。

它可以看成自然语言的一种简化形式，由于它精确、无二义性，容易为计算机理解和操作，同时又与自然语言相似。

命题逻辑是数理逻辑的一种，数理逻辑是用形式化语言(逻辑符号语言)进行精确(没有歧义)的描述，用数学的方式进行研究。

我们最熟悉的是数学中的设未知数表示。

例：用命题逻辑表示下列知识：如果a 是偶数，那么a2 是偶数。

解：定义命题如下：P:a 是偶数；Q: a2 是偶数，则：原知识表示为：P→Q 谓词逻辑相当于数学中的函数表示。

例：用谓词逻辑表示知识：自然数都是大于等于零的整数解：定义谓词如下：N(x):x 是自然数；I(x):x 是整数；GZ(x):x 是大于等于零的数。

所以原知识表示为：(∀x)(N(x)(GZ(x)∧I(x))，∀(x)是全称量词。

（2）产生式表示法产生式表示，又称规则表示，有的时候被称为IF-THEN 表示，它表示一种条件-结果形式，是一种比较简单表示知识的方法。
