[comp.ai] Chaos Theory and AI

koeneman@butterfly.rutgers.edu (Juergen Koenemann) (11/27/88)

In Gleick's account of the emerging of the Chaos Theory (Chaos) there is
a general remark that AI researchers try to use fractals etc. to
model concept boundaries. I would appreciate pointers to work in AI
which tries to apply Chaos Theory. Thanks.              Jurgen Koenemann

Here is one (connectionist) reference off the top of my head:

"How Brains Make Chaos in Order to Make Sense of the World"
Christine Skarda  & Walter Freeman
Behavioral and Brain Sciences (1987)10, 161-195

One set of tools that the physics types have brought with them in the
new wave of neural-network research are the tools of dynamical systems.


Dynamically yours,
