  1. Abduction Using Neural Models by Madan Bharadwaj Instructor: Dr.Avelino Gonzalez

  2. Agenda • Introduce the Concept • Why Neural Approach ? • UNIFY • Hopfield Model • Critique • Summary

  3. Abduction & NN’s • What are Neural Networks? • What is Abduction?

  4. The Analogy Figure 1: Handwritten Characters. A’s and B’s Figure 2: After training the Neural Network classifies data into classes

  5. Major References • “A Unified Model for Abduction-Based Reasoning” by Ayeb et al • “A Neural Architecture for a Class of Abduction Problems” by Goel et al

  6. Types of Abd. Problems • 4 Major Types • Open & Incompatible Classes

  7. UNIFY • NN Architecture reflects problem dynamics • Tackles all 4 classes • Architecture incrementally introduced • Simple Architecture

  8. Hypothesis Layer Observation Layer Inhibitory Weights Excitatory Weights UNIFY - Initial Model

  9. The Algorithm • Initialize cells and weights • Update cells and weights • Check Termination condition

  10. UNIFIED MODEL Intermediate Layer

  11. Modifications • Incompatibility Weights • Modified Equations

  12. Experiments • Toy Problems • Real Life Problem • Results very encouraging

  13. Hopfield Model • Energy Function approach • Only linear and monotonic classes • Partition data into sub domains • Map sub domains • Minimize Energy Function • ART Model also proposed

  14. Critique • Fuzzy Framework essential for abduction • Neural Networks still abstract

  15. Future Avenues • Cancellation Class • Better designs using ART • Evolving Architectures • Other Approaches

  16. Summary • Neural Network Approach feasible • UNIFY is better • Vast scope for further research
