Automatic construction of rules fuzzy for modelling and prediction of the central nervous system
The main goal of this work is to study the performance of
CARFIR (Automatic Construction of Rules in Fuzzy Inductive Reasoning)
methodology for the modelling
and prediction of the human central nervous system (CNS). The CNS
controls the hemodynamical system by generating the regulating signals
for the blood vessels and the heart. The main idea behind CARFIR is to
expand the capacity of the FIR methodology allowing it to work with
classical fuzzy rules. CARFIR is able to automatically construct fuzzy
rules starting from a set of pattern rules obtained by FIR. The new
methodology preserves as much as possible the knowledge of the pattern
rules in a compact fuzzy rule base. The prediction results obtained by
the fuzzy prediction process of CARFIR methodology are compared with
those of other inductive methodologies, i.e. FIR, NARMAX and neural
networksPostprint (published version
Machine learning and its applications in reliability analysis systems
In this thesis, we are interested in exploring some aspects of Machine Learning (ML) and its application in the Reliability Analysis systems (RAs). We begin by investigating some ML paradigms and their- techniques, go on to discuss the possible applications of ML in improving RAs performance, and lastly give guidelines of the architecture of learning RAs. Our survey of ML covers both levels of Neural Network learning and Symbolic learning. In symbolic process learning, five types of learning and their applications are discussed: rote learning, learning from instruction, learning from analogy, learning from examples, and learning from observation and discovery. The Reliability Analysis systems (RAs) presented in this thesis are mainly designed for maintaining plant safety supported by two functions: risk analysis function, i.e., failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) ; and diagnosis function, i.e., real-time fault location (RTFL). Three approaches have been discussed in creating the RAs. According to the result of our survey, we suggest currently the best design of RAs is to embed model-based RAs, i.e., MORA (as software) in a neural network based computer system (as hardware). However, there are still some improvement which can be made through the applications of Machine Learning. By implanting the 'learning element', the MORA will become learning MORA (La MORA) system, a learning Reliability Analysis system with the power of automatic knowledge acquisition and inconsistency checking, and more. To conclude our thesis, we propose an architecture of La MORA
End-to-End Differentiable Proving
We introduce neural networks for end-to-end differentiable proving of queries
to knowledge bases by operating on dense vector representations of symbols.
These neural networks are constructed recursively by taking inspiration from
the backward chaining algorithm as used in Prolog. Specifically, we replace
symbolic unification with a differentiable computation on vector
representations of symbols using a radial basis function kernel, thereby
combining symbolic reasoning with learning subsymbolic vector representations.
By using gradient descent, the resulting neural network can be trained to infer
facts from a given incomplete knowledge base. It learns to (i) place
representations of similar symbols in close proximity in a vector space, (ii)
make use of such similarities to prove queries, (iii) induce logical rules, and
(iv) use provided and induced logical rules for multi-hop reasoning. We
demonstrate that this architecture outperforms ComplEx, a state-of-the-art
neural link prediction model, on three out of four benchmark knowledge bases
while at the same time inducing interpretable function-free first-order logic
rules.Comment: NIPS 2017 camera-ready, NIPS 201
Building Machines That Learn and Think Like People
Recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has renewed interest in
building systems that learn and think like people. Many advances have come from
using deep neural networks trained end-to-end in tasks such as object
recognition, video games, and board games, achieving performance that equals or
even beats humans in some respects. Despite their biological inspiration and
performance achievements, these systems differ from human intelligence in
crucial ways. We review progress in cognitive science suggesting that truly
human-like learning and thinking machines will have to reach beyond current
engineering trends in both what they learn, and how they learn it.
Specifically, we argue that these machines should (a) build causal models of
the world that support explanation and understanding, rather than merely
solving pattern recognition problems; (b) ground learning in intuitive theories
of physics and psychology, to support and enrich the knowledge that is learned;
and (c) harness compositionality and learning-to-learn to rapidly acquire and
generalize knowledge to new tasks and situations. We suggest concrete
challenges and promising routes towards these goals that can combine the
strengths of recent neural network advances with more structured cognitive
models.Comment: In press at Behavioral and Brain Sciences. Open call for commentary

First-order logic learning in artificial neural networks
Artificial Neural Networks have previously been applied in neuro-symbolic learning to learn ground logic program rules. However, there are few results of learning relations using neuro-symbolic learning. This paper presents the system PAN, which can learn relations. The inputs to PAN are one or more atoms, representing the conditions of a logic rule, and the output is the conclusion of the rule. The symbolic inputs may include functional terms of arbitrary depth and arity, and the output may include terms constructed from the input functors. Symbolic inputs are encoded as an integer using an invertible encoding function, which is used in reverse to extract the output terms. The main advance of this system is a convention to allow construction of Artificial Neural Networks able to learn rules with the same power of expression as first order definite clauses. The system is tested on three examples and the results are discussed
