Cognitive Agents for Knowledge Discovery

摘要

Discovery of new knowledge, that is, knowledge that we do not already possess, is the focus of this research. This problem can be formulated as an inverse problem, where the new knowledge can be represented by the parameters of a black box model. The solution can then be viewed as the culmination of a sequence of problem solving steps: search, composition, integration and discovery. A well designed cognitive agent capable of learning, adaptation and optimization can accomplish this task.
