Record 1 2017-12-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

The numerical strength or coefficient of the connections between a unit and its neighbours in a neural network.

CONT

The synaptic weight determines the intensity of the connection, depending on the network’s design and the information it has learned.

CONT

The adjustable parameters of a neural network are called synaptic weights after their biological counterparts, the synapses that connect nerve cells in the brain.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Valeur des connexions neuromimétiques.

CONT

Des forces d'interaction numériques appelées poids sont souvent associées aux liens du réseau et sont utilisées pendant les calculs qui mettent à jour les liens de chaque nœud.

CONT

Tout le monde s'accorde à reconnaître la modification des poids des connexions comme le principe même de l'apprentissage.

Record 2 2005-07-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

A form of inverse induction while making inferences from incomplete knowledge. It assumes a relatively even distribution of information access the database.

CONT

In the structure of SHCOLAR's semantic network(Carbonell 1970) there are already facilities to support the lack-of-knowledge strategy. The concept hierarchy can be used to collect objects similar to the original one : they must be its siblings with respect to a common superordinate. The depth of knowledge can be measured by the numerical relevance tags associated with information. For example, if oil is not on the list of Uruguay's products, this does not necessarily imply that Uruguay does not produce oil at all since the database may be incomplete. Furthermore, there is no list of goods that a country does not produce. But, if oil is mentioned for another country say Venezuela-with a relevance-tag value at which something else is known for Uruguay, this is an induction that oil is not produced in Uruguay.
