....[11] based on a weighted sum voting system, has been used to control mobile robots, both simulated and real, indoor and outdoor. For a theoretical discussion of the most popular voting systems, see [3] Voting has also been applied to pattern recognition tasks, the Pandemonium architecture [12] being an early example. Pandemonium is a layered classifier system in which each layer consists of demons that match certain features and shriek their outputs up to the next layer; the final output of the system depends upon whose shriek was the loudest. 3 Method As stated earlier, our goal ....

It is interesting to note that as early as 40 years ago, Selfridge regarded the notion of parallel processing as the basic motif behind his pandemonium model, probably one of the first team architectures for modeling human data processing techniques [14]. He gives two reasons: i) division of labor: it is often easier to handle data in a parallel manner , it is usually the more natural manner to handle it , ii) flexibility and adaptability: it is easier to modify an assembly of quasi independent modules than a machine all of whose parts ....

An Architecture for Emotion - McCauley, Franklin (1998)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....the importance of emotions for learning in an environmentally situated agent is discussed. The learning of complex emotions is dependent on Pandemonium Theory, which will be described first. Pandemonium Theory This architecture is based on a psychological theory called Pandemonium Theory (Selfridge 1959) who applied it only to perception. Later, John Jackson presented it to the computer science community in an extended and more concrete form (1987; Franklin 1995 ) that makes it useful for control of autonomous agents. In Jackson s version of Pandemonium Theory, the analogy of an arena is used. ....

As noted by Barlow, a convenient substrate for such a representation is provided by Selfridge s Pandemonium [23]. In Barlow s Probabilistic Pandemonium, the response strength of a feature detector demon would be proportional to Gamma log P , where P is the probability of occurrence of the feature the demon detects. These signals are then propagated to an association network which receives unconditional ....

The call for a step in the direction of the development of modular systems has frequently been made [Sel59, Min85, MP88b, Ede87, Mel88], but up till now most of the emphasis has been on developing small modular systems specialized as a whole for a particular task domain [Wai89, NKK90, SNA89, Ebe89] rather than systems capable, merely through a higher level alteration in the specification of the architecture or environment ....

From here inputs could be provided to object classification recognition modules, which could further supply inputs for the classification of more complex objects composed of sets of the basic objects, as in Pandemonium I [Sel59]. The inputs and outputs of such modules are not however constrained to follow this specification nor is a module prevented a priori from receiving input from any other module (although one would in general desire a downward flow of information) In addition to classifying static objects, this ....

One of the earliest examples of this technique being applied to recognition was Selfridges pandemonium model [10] which was used for character recognition. One technique which has being developed [8, 9] to combine information sources is to use each source of information to instantiate all possible solutions that agree with the given view. The instantiated hypotheses are then either combined or assessed ....

Related to the perceptron is the Pandemonium model [3], in which lower level demons shout their computational results to higher level demons. We shall apply genetic search to the problem of evolving perceptron structure, a process that itself forms an emergent computation. In Minsky and Papert s [2] terminology, the perceptron computes a global ....

In this paper we investigate a quite different approach to the predicate modification problem, namely, genetic search over the space of possible perceptron structures. In proposing that the demons might mutate and undergo fusion to form new demons, Selfridge [3] made a related proposal for Pandemonium. Our approach will be to evolve a population of perceptrons under a Wilson 3 Perceptron Redux version of the genetic algorithm [5] in the context of a specific task. A general characteristic of the GA is that partial solutions to a problem, called schemata, ....

It was first suggested by Selfridge, for use in his Pandemonium model of learning [Selfridge, 1959]; since then it has become the most commonly used approach to constructive induction. Recombination is popular because it requires very little information, it is easy to implement, and it is often sufficient. The major distinctions among different systems that do recombination are the operators ....

Connectionist networks, in common with other models (e.g. Selfridge s Pandemonium system, 1959), use the activation of units, either singly or across a group of units, to represent hypotheses. These units, or nodes, interact via weighted connections which are often modifiable, allowing learning to occur.

The algorithm assumes that we have been given a set of level 0 classifiers, a level 1 classifier, and a data set of classified examples with real valued features. The classes are real values as well under Wolpert s assumed framework. The ....
