Coherence Net - A New Model of Generative Cognition

Michael O. Vertolli, Jim Davies

2014

Abstract

We propose a new algorithm and formal description of generative cognition in terms of the multi-label bag-of-words paradigm. The algorithm, Coherence Net, takes its inspiration from evolutionary strategies, genetic programming, and neural networks. We approach generative cognition in spatial reasoning as the decompression of images that were compressed into lossy feature sets, namely, conditional probabilities of labels. We show that the globally parallel and locally serial optimization technique described by Coherence Net is better at accurately generating contextually coherent subsections of the original compressed images than a competitive, purely serial model from the literature: Coherencer.
