The Animat and the Physician
Jean-Arcady Meyer, Stewart W. Wilson · 1991
Animat research has already produced interesting concepts and algorithms. In this paper, we analyze how this research can be applied to human intelligence understanding and to reproducing of some expert behaviors. To support these ideas, we experiment with an improvement of Boole, a Genetic Based Learning algorithm from animat research, in a medical domain of expertise. We experimentally demonstrate that our system obtains good results on a well known realistic medical diagnosis task, and we analyze its potential ability to solve more complicated problems.
