计算与认知的统一:SP理论及其应用

Unifying Computing and Cognition: The SP Theory and its Applications

J Gerard Wolff

摘要:

这本书提出了一个猜想,即计算机和人脑中的各种信息处理都可以有效地理解为“通过多重排列、统一和搜索进行的信息压缩”。自1987年以来一直在发展的这个“SP理论”提供了对诸如通用图灵机的工作、“知识”的性质、自然语言的解释和产生、模式识别和最佳匹配信息检索、几种概率推理、规划和问题解决、无监督学习、以及数学和逻辑中的一系列概念。该理论也为设计SP计算机提供了基础,与传统的数字计算机相比,SP计算机具有几个潜在的优点。

英文摘要:

This book develops the conjecture that all kinds of information processing in computers and in brains may usefully be understood as "information compression by multiple alignment, unification and search". This "SP theory", which has been under development since 1987, provides a unified view of such things as the workings of a universal Turing machine, the nature of 'knowledge', the interpretation and production of natural language, pattern recognition and best-match information retrieval, several kinds of probabilistic reasoning, planning and problem solving, unsupervised learning, and a range of concepts in mathematics and logic. The theory also provides a basis for the design of an 'SP' computer with several potential advantages compared with traditional digital computers.
