Cognitive Reasoning and Learning Mechanisms.
Loizos Michael · Kypseli · 2016
With an eye towards the development of systems for common everyday tasks - that operate in a manner that is cognitively-compatible with the argumentative nature of human reasoning - we present mechanisms for reasoning with and learning cognitive programs: common sense, symbolically represented in the form of prioritized association rules. The FLASH mechanism supports a fast argumentation-flavored type of reasoning, while sidestepping the rigidness of traditional proof procedures in formal logic. The NERD mechanism supports the never-ending acquisition of cognitive programs, without human supervision.
