In particular, in pattern recognition, the nature of basic
algorithms changes radically,
as you will see from the next talk: the
processing is now basically concerned with a careful (algorithmic) “examination” of the input data and “recording” of the results of such
examination in the ETS language.
This is the job of the intelligent process (which includes the learning and recognition stages):
• the modification of
the structural memory (at various levels), i.e. of the class supertransforms, and occasionally,
introduction of new levels
• the modification of
the numeric memory (at various levels), which is needed, at present, to record the statistics
related to various observed recurring associations (between various primitives
as well as between the contexts and the bodies).
