Based on the assumption that most probability densities in real life can be approximated by a mixture of Gaussian densities, we propose here a three-layer adaptive network with each neuron in the lower hidden layer representing a Gaussian basis function (covariance matrix equal to where I is a unit matrix) to estimate various probability densities and serve as a Bayes classifier. The width of the basis function may be the same for all neurons in this layer or it may vary from one neuron to another. This paper investigates the effectiveness of the network for both cases and presents a localized learning algorithm to adjust the network parameters. The network was trained with artificial data derived from known mixtures of memoryless Gaussian sources as well as exponential and Gamma densities. The performance of the network as a pattern density estimator was measured in terms of the relative difference between the target probability density function (p.d.f.) which generates the training and testing data and the network output representing the estimation. Samples from two mixtures corresponding to two classes were used to test the network capability as a classifier by comparing its error rate against that of a Bayes classifier. Both one- and two-dimensional cases were explored. The successfulness of the network depended on how well the target p.d.f.’s were represented by the training samples, the number of hidden neurons employed in the network and how thoroughly the network was trained. It was also found that allowing each basis function to have an independent width had a predominant effect on the network performance.

A new modification of the subspace patternrecognition method, called the dual subspace patternrecognition (DSPR) method, is proposed, and neural network models combining both constrained Hebbian and anti-Hebbian learning rules are developed for implementing the DSPR method. An experimental comparison is made by using our model and a three-layer forward net with backpropagation learning. The results illustrate that our model can outperform the backpropagation model in suitable applications.

A valuable technique during concept development is rapid prototyping of software for key design components. This approach is particularly useful when the optimum design approach is not readily apparent or several known alternatives need to be rapidly evaluated. A problem inherent in rapid prototyping is the lack of a "target system" with which to interface. Some alternatives are to develop test driver libraries, integrate the prototype with an existing working simulator, or build one for the specific problem. This paper presents a unique approach to concept development using rapid prototyping for concept development and scenario-based simulation for concept verification. The rapid prototyping environment, derived from artificial intelligence technology, is based on a blackboard architecture. The rapid prototype simulation capability is provided through an object-oriented modeling environment. It is shown how both simulation and blackboard technologies are used collectively to rapidly gain insight into a tenacious problem. A specific example will be discussed where this approach was used to evolve the logic of a mission controller for an autonomous underwater vehicle.

An entropy-reduced transformation (ERT) approach to nonlinear shape restoration has been developed. Nonlinear shape distortions are formulated using nonlinear shape transformations derived from the finite-element theory. Several algorithms which perform the nonlinear shape transformations are given. The inverse nonlinear shape transformation algorithms are described.

The authors focus on the problems of specification of an expert system namely, what needs to be specified, what can be specified and how. Two distinct major roles for a software specification are identified: as a contract between parties involved in system development and as a blueprint for the design and implementation of the system. It is shown that these purposes require quite different specifications. The role of specification as a contract is taken by the problem specification, which essentially describes what system is to be built. The blueprint specification is complementary, and describes how the system is to be built, including a description of the knowledge to be used and a description of how to represent and reason with that knowledge.< >

This paper presents linear and bilinear shape transformations including basic transformations, analyzes their geometric properties, and provides computer algorithms. The shape transformations can be used to simplify the recognition of Roman letters, Chinese characters and other pictorial patterns by normalizing their shapes to the standard forms. Important theoretical analyses have been performed to illustrate that the linear and bilinear transformations are applicable to computerrecognition of digitized patterns. A number of pictorial examples have been computed to confirm the analyses and conclusions made.

The authors outline their approach for automatic translation of geometric entities produced by a CAD system into a relational graph structure. They have developed a system which uses 3-D object descriptions created on a commercial CAD system and expressed in the industry-standard IGES form, and performs geometric inferencing to object a relational graph representation of the object which can be stored in a database of models of object recognition. Details of the IGES standard, the geometric inference engine, and some formal properties of 3-D models are discussed. In addition to the process of translation from one data format to another, the interference engine extracts higher-level information from the CAD model and stores it explicitly in the new data structure. The higher-level features will allow the search space explored during the object recognition stage to be pruned early.< >

This Special Issue is composed of the papers selected from the 1978 IEEE computer Society Workshop on patternrecognition (PR) and Artificial Intelligence (Al) held in Princeton, NJ, April 12-14, 1978. The Workshop was sponsored by the Technical Committee on Machine Intelligence and pattern Analysis. Inevitably, the contributors to the Workshop determined, to a large degree, the tone and complexion of this Special Issue. For this reason, a brief account of the Workshop Proceedings, though now history, is given. About half of the papers presented at the Workshop were also submitted for the Special Issue, a total of 37. Those of high quality were far more than the number that could be accommodated within the available number of pages. We decided to choose three topics where the interaction between the methodologies of PR and Al was most prevelant: analysis of images, analysis of speech, and certain general algorithms. All the selected papers present either theoretical, or experimental results, or both. We felt that such results clearly demonstrate the progress achieved and can be seen as very impressive if measured against the difficult problem of emulating functions associated with human intelligence by machines. It is true that they often fall short from some of the earlier ambitious goals, but the time is probably ripe to reexamine such goals in view of the accumulated experience. The following is a brief scanning of the contents of this issue, especially as related to the integration and/or interaction of PR and Al methodologies.
