"Toward the Automatic Construction and Extension of Knowledge Bases"
Sandford Fleming Buillding, rm 1105
Abstract: This talk describes two programs resulting from our research in
machine learning. The first, called Protos, is a learning apprentice which
acquires knowledge for performing heuristic classification. We have applied
Protos to the domain of clinical audiology. Our domain expert trained Protos
with explained examples without the involvement of a knowledge engineer.
Through this interaction, Protos has evolved into an expert system which
correctly classifies and explains 98% of new cases and continues to learn
during its use.
Building Protos has forced us to scrutinize the usefulness of inductive
learning and deductive classification. These inference methods have been
widely studied in machine learning; however, their seductive elegance in
artificial domains (e.g., mathematics) does not carryover to natural domains
(e.g., medicine). In the Protos system, we relegate inductive learning and
deductive classification to minor roles that support retaining, indexing, and
matching exemplars.
The second program is a knowledge-rich learner. We believe that learning
involves integrating new information into an existing base of knowledge;
learning takes place at the "fringes of knowledge." While this conjecture seems
obvious, most machine learning programs, such as Protos, are largely ignorant.
We are constructing a large-scale structured knowledge base in the domain of
plant anatomy and physiology using Lenat's CYC system. Our learning program
uses the knowledge base to explain (for itself) the plausibility of information
from the teacher. Explanations integrate the new information into the
expanding knowledge base and motivate follow-up questions and conjectures.

March 16 (Wednesday), 11am
Artificial Intelligence Seminar
Demetri Terzopoulos (Schlumberger Palo Alto Research Center)
"Deformable Models In Computer Vision and Graphics"
Sandford Fleming Building, rm 1102
Abstract: Vision and graphics are mutually converse disciplines; the former is
concerned with the analysis of images, the latter with their synthesis. They
pose similar problems at the object modeling level. I shall describe a
physically-based approach to analyzing and synthesizing the shapes and motions
of nonrigid objects. Objects are modeled using deformable curve, surface, and
solid primitives, while constraints are represented as dynamic forces applied
to these primitives.
In the context of graphics (the direct problem), realistic images of flexible
objects may be synthesized when the applied forces arise from the interaction
of deformable models with simulated physical environments.
With regard to vision (the inverse problem), deformable models may be used to
infer the shapes and motions of objects from their images. Here the forces are
derived from natural image data and enforce image-based constraints. They
actively shape and move models to achieve maximal consistency with imaged
objects of interest and to maintain the consistency over time.
I will present results of applying deformable models to image contour
extraction, stereo and motion correspondence matching, static 3D object
reconstruction from monocular images, and the recovery of 3D shape and nonrigid
motion of objects from dynamic stereo imagery. The video presentation will
include computer animations of deformable models reacting to a variety of
simulated physical phenomena.

concept are connected and visually displayed. The methodological procedures
include two computer-based operations applied first to the entire corpus, and
then to the specific text, 'Either/OR', in the corpus for a closer look at a
section of the map.

"Planning Coherent Multisentential Text"
Sandford Fleming Building, rm 1105
Abstract: Generating multisentential text is hard. Though most text generators
are capable of simply stringing together more than one sentence, they cannot
determine coherent order. Very few programs attempt to plan out the structure
of multisentential paragraphs.
Clearly, the key notion is coherence. The reason some paragraphs are coher-
ent is that the information in successive sentences follows some pattern of
inference or of knowledge with which the hearer is familiar, so that the hearer
is able to relate each part to the whole. To signal such inferences, people
usually link successive blocks of text in one of a fixed set of ways. The
inferential nature of such linkage was noted by Hobbs in 1978. In 1982,
McKeown built schemas (scripts) for constructing some paragraphs with
stereotypical structure. Around the same time, after a wide-ranging linguistic
study, Mann proposed a relatively small number of intersentential relations
that suffice to bind together coherently most of the things people tend to
speak about.
The talk will describe a prototype text structurer that is based on the
inferential ideas of Hobbs, uses Mann's relations, and is more general than the
schema applier built by McKeown. The structurer takes the form of a standard
hierarchical expansion planner, in which the relations act as plans and their
constraints on relation fillers (represented in a formalism similar to Cohen
and Levesque's work) as subgoals in the expansion. The structurer is conceived
as part of a general text planner, but currently functions on its own. It is
being tested in two domains: database output and expert system explanantion.

"A Semantic Basis for Explicit Belief"
Abstract: A general framework for the investigation of logical systems of
belief that are both tractable and semantically well-motivated is presented.
The approach extends standard possible worlds semantics in two ways. First,
partial possible worlds, or situations, are employed. Second, the set of
situations used to determine the truth of an explicit belief, $B alpha$, at a
situation depends in part on the proposition expressed by $alpha$. It is
argued that the approach provides a uniform semantics from which systems may be
constructed, contrasted, and compared. Proofs of soundness and completeness
are given directly in terms of this semantics and not, as is the case with
previous work, by appealing to similar results in relevance logic. Thus the
formal results also provide a connection between the semantic theory of
possible worlds and that of relevance logic.
Given this framework, we propose a specific system, BRPK, as a "preferred"
model of explicit belief. This system arguably retains a strong intuitive
basis, while avoiding the (perceived) pitfalls of earlier systems. Moreover it
is tractable and permits iterated modalities.

Toronto Semiotic Circle
Semiotics is the study of systems of "signs" and "symbols", though an untutored
introduction to the goings on of the semiotic community wouldn't immediately
suggest such a simple description. The ninth "International Summer Institute
for Semiotic and Structural Studies" took place here at U of T last summer; it
included courses and lectures in linguistics, artificial intelligence
(computational linguistics and knowledge representation), theories of meaning,
cognitive philosophy, and a great many other topics not so closely related to
cognitive science. What follows is a description loosely extracted from an
issue of the biannual \\International Semiotic Spectrum\\ newsletter:
The Toronto Semiotic Circle, founded in 1973 by members of the University of
Toronto, is an interdisciplinary association whose object is the discussion,
communication and promotion of research in semiotics. The Circle takes the
field of semiotics in the broadest sense, to include the theoretical and
empirical study of signs, sign systems and processes, signaling and
communicative behavior, and their biological and social foundations. It
organizes monthly meetings and occasional seminars, at which papers are
presented and discussed, and with the co-operation of other organizations
publishes the International Semiotic Spectrum (circulation 7,000) and a
monograph series. Membership fees are $25 ($10 student) per annum.
For information about the society, you might contact Professor Paul Bouissac,
rm 305, Northrop Frye Hall, University of Toronto, Toronto, M5S 1K7, (416)
585-4456.
Prof. Bouissac has generously offered to supply some number of copies of the
\\International Semiotic Spectrum\\ newsletter. If all goes well, copies will
be forwarded to those on the \\Toronto Intelligence\\ mailing list in the next
few weeks, to afford a peek at what's happening in the semiotic community.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Language and Mind" Cognitive Science seminar series
Jointly sponsored by the McLuhan Program, University College, and Department of
Computer Science, the "Language and Mind" seminar series is currently underway.
This, the 5th annual such undertaking, deserves special mention among the many
events in the coming weeks, as it is aimed at the cognitive science community
as a whole. Coming speakers include Ray Jackendoff on March 8, Josef Perner on
March 14, and Stewart Shanker on March 28.
Jackendoff (a linguist from Brandeis U) has done work on relationships bet-
ween general cognition (including perception) and semantics; he will speak on
"Consciousness and the Computational Mind". Perner (a developmental
psychologist, U Sussex) has done work on children's ideas about the mind, and
computational models; he will speak on "Children's Model Theory of Mind".
Schanker (a philosopher from York) closes the series with "Learning and Automa
Theory".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENDNOTE: Last Issue of \\Toronto Intelligence\\ for Current Academic Year
It has been quite interesting to watch the goings on across several departments
throughout the year. The resources available to this newsletter (both time and
money) have run out, at least for the current year, so this will be the last
issue. The end of the academic season will see a sharp drop in activity, in
any case. Thanks to dozens of "informers" across the university. Somehow the
many people that make cognitive science events happen at this university should
be credited (there isn't the time or space to do it here!)
The McLuhan Program has paid the lion's share of publication costs for put-
ting out what is now approaching 400 issues of this newsletter each month. In
addition, the Centre for Applied Cognitive Science in OISE, and Departments of
Computer Science, Linguistics, Philosopy, and Psychology have each contributed
to the publication of the cognitive science directory.
One final note -- some interesting possibilities. A group of faculty from
several departments has been meeting to discuss options for cognitive science
here at U of T. Three meetings have taken place, including one with David
Nowlan (VP, Research) and one with Robin Armstrong (Dean of Arts and Science).
There seems to be support for some sort of cognitive science entity, but money
is a significant constraint, as one might expect. One possibility being
investigated is the creation of a Center for Cognitive Science within the
university (which might attract newly announced federal money -- much as
Western Ontario's Center for Cognitive Science attracted Provincial Center of
Excellence money). Robert Lockhart (chair, Psychology, ext 3406) has called
the meetings thus far, and is probably a good person to offer your suggestions
to.
