The Tower of Knowledge: a novel architecture for organising knowledge combining logic and probability

Abstract

It is argued that the ability to generalise is the most important characteristic
of learning and that generalisation may be achieved only if pattern
recognition systems learn the rules of meta-knowledge rather than the labels
of objects. A structure, called "tower of knowledge'', according to which
knowledge may be organised, is proposed. A scheme of interpreting scenes using
the tower of knowledge and aspects of utility theory is also proposed. Finally, it is argued that globally
consistent solutions of labellings are neither possible, nor desirable for an
artificial cognitive system.
