Book Contents
This book
is divided into THREE Parts. Part 1 is
an introduction on both the concepts and
applications of the advanced paradigms
in AI including: Artificial Neural
Networks, Fuzzy Theory, Oscillatory
Theory (and Neural Oscillators), Chaos
Theory and Fractals. Part 2 focuses on
the concepts and theories of the Chaotic
Neural Networks. The author presents his
latest works on Lee-oscillator and its
chaotic neuro-dynamics for the
interpretation of the remarkable
psycology behaviours – the Gestalt
Theory. Part 3 is an advance section
focuses on the latest works and research
done by the author on Chaotic Neural
Networks – the Cognitron Theory and its
interpretation in Modern Ontology and
Epistemology.
In
addition to the discussions of the
underlying principles of the advanced
paradigms in AI, this book also covers a
wide range of application areas
including: Stock prediction; Agent-based
e-shopping system; Scene segmentation
and analysis; Severe weather prediction;
Invariant human face recognition;
Gestalt phenomena; Cognitive agents and
Ontological agent-based system.
About the author
Dr.
Raymond Lee received his B.Sc. from Hong
Kong University in 1989, he received his
M.Sc. and PhD from Hong Kong Polytechnic
University in 1997 and 2000
respectively. After graduation from Hong
Kong University, he joined the Hong Kong
Government in the
Royal
Observatory Hong Kong as a
meteorological scientist for weather
forecasting and the development of
telecommunication systems for the
provision of meteorological services
from 1989 to 1993. Prior to joining the
Hong Kong Polytechnic University in
Sept. 1998, Raymond also worked as MIS
Manager and System Consultant in various
business organizations in Hong Kong.
He is
currently assistant professor in the
Department of Computing of the Hong Kong
Polytechnic University. He has working
in the area of AI and Intelligent Agents
for over 10 years with the publication
of over 50 publications (including
books, journals, book chapters and
conference papers) in the areas of AI
and Intelligent Agents. He is also the
Founder of the iJADE Project (http://www.iJADK.org)
which focuses on the research and
development of a fully integrated
Intelligent Agent platform with the
corresponding iJADE agents. His major
research areas include: Artificial
Intelligence, Ontology, Epistemology,
Intelligent E-Commerce Systems,
Intelligent Agents, Pattern Recognition,
Weather Simulation and Forecasting and
Chaotic Neural Networks.
