With the reemergence of neural  networks in the 1980s with their emphasis on overcoming some of the  limitations of symbolic AI, there is clearly a need to support some  form of high-level symbolic processing in connectionist networks. As  argued by many researchers, on both the symbolic AI and connectionist  sides, many cognitive tasks, e.g. language understanding and common  sense reasoning, seem to require high-level symbolic capabilities. How  these capabilities are realized in connectionist networks is a  difficult question and it constitutes the focus of this book. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eComputational Architectures Integrating Neural and Symbolic  Processes\u003c\/em\u003e addresses the underlying architectural aspects of the  integration of neural and symbolic processes. In order to provide a  basis for a deeper understanding of existing divergent approaches and  provide insight for further developments in this field, this book  presents: (1) an examination of specific architectures (grouped  together according to their approaches), their strengths and  weaknesses, why they work, and what they predict, and (2) a  critique\/comparison of these approaches. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eComputational Architectures Integrating Neural and Symbolic  Processes\u003c\/em\u003e is of interest to researchers, graduate students, and  interested laymen, in areas such as cognitive science, artificial  intelligence, computer science, cognitive psychology, and  neurocomputing, in keeping up-to-date with the newest research trends.  It is a comprehensive, in-depth introduction to this new emerging  field. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-04-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781475783193\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/b102608\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 476\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578437165196,"sku":"9781475783193","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781475783193.jpg?v=1771511252","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781475783193","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
