Abstract

Cognitive knowledge learning (CKL) is a fundamental methodology for cognitive robots and machine learning. Traditional technologies for machine learning deal with object identification, cluster classification, pattern recognition, functional regression and behavior acquisition. A new category of CKL is presented in this paper embodied by the Algorithm of Cognitive Concept Elicitation (ACCE). Formal concepts are autonomously generated based on collective intension (attributes) and extension (objects) elicited from informal descriptions in dictionaries. A system of formal concept generation by cognitive robots is implemented based on the ACCE algorithm. Experiments on machine learning for knowledge acquisition reveal that a cognitive robot is able to learn synergized concepts in human knowledge in order to build its own knowledge base. The machine–generated knowledge base demonstrates that the ACCE algorithm can outperform human knowledge expressions in terms of relevance, accuracy, quantification and cohesiveness.
