CONT

The machines considered thus far are fixed and deterministic in that their responses to a particular input from a given initial state are always the same. Also, the input sequences that we have been applying to these machines have always had a particular representation associated with them....... the output is determined by the program and set of data applied, where the same program and the same data always give the same output. A stochastic automation or probabilistic machine on the other hand, has an output that is not necessarily the same for every application of the input.

In expert systems development, a prototype is an initial version of an expert system, usually a system with from 25 to 200 rules, that is developed to test effectiveness of the overall knowledge representation and inference strategies being employed to solve a particular problem.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

En développement de systèmes experts, première version conçue pour démontrer la faisabilité d'un programme, de tester l'efficacité d'une représentation des connaissances, et l'optimalité des stratégies de résolution d'une gamme de problèmes.

CONT

Le passage de la première version prototype à une deuxième version plus proche du "comportement expert" peut nécessiter des refontes importantes dans l'organisation du programme. Le but de la première version est de montrer la faisabilité d'un programme atteignant un certain but ... Le prototype une fois construit ... peut résoudre une gamme de problèmes que l'on s'était fixée.

CONT

prototype avancé, prototype de laboratoire, prototype rapide, version initiale

OBS

La version prototype part d'une maquette pour arriver à un prototype avancé qui deviendra le point de départ de la version opératoire. Le prototype avancé est aussi appelé "démonstrateur avancé".

... one might imagine that we could program a general notion of improvement of knowledge. Such a notion would make it possible to construct a tutor which dispenses with a representation of the target knowledge, but bases its tutoring on a representation of the student's initial knowledge instead. Such a tutor would try to make the student improve his knowledge, in any direction....

CONT

Representing the evolution in time of a dynamic system by left shifts of the digits in a suitable number system brings out another important property of systems for which such a representation is possible. No matter how accurately the initial condition x0 of a coordinate is known, the accuracy will always be finite, that is, the digits of x0 to the right of the last known digit will be unknown. As the dynamic system evolves in time, the unknown digits will be shifted to the left; that is, they will grow in significance, and will sooner or later arrive at the "decimal" point and thus dominate the behavior of the system. And because the digits are unknown, this behavior will be completely unpredictable. The resulting motion is called chaotic.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mathématiques
  • Infographie
DEF

Se dit de structures ou de systèmes dont on ne peut prédire l'évolution à partir d'un état initial donné, ni d'états connus pour une longue période de temps, et dans lesquels un changement infime, se propageant en cascade, peut provoquer des modifications subites importantes.

OBS

Qualifie une situation qui évolue de façon irrégulière, mais dont les lois sous-jacentes sont relativement simples et ne laissent aucune place au hasard. Ainsi, un régime périodique peut devenir chaotique par intensification de déstabilisations intermittentes, par cascade de doublement de période ou via la quasi-périodicité. S'oppose à «non chaotique». Certains auteurs attribuent à ce terme le sens «erratique», «aléatoire», «désordonné» (sens usuel en langage courant).

PHR

attracteur, caractère, changement, comportement, condition, dynamique, état, évolution, fluctuation, forme, nature, orbite, potentialité, processus, régime, réseau faiblement chaotique, réseau fortement chaotique, série, situation, système, trajectoire chaotique.
