ICARUS: Bottom-up Concept Formation

Description

• Each concept sorted through concept hierarchy
• All new concepts added as terminal nodes
• When terminal node is reached, two new nodes are created:
  • A new teminal node contains the description of the current experience
  • A new parent node contains the summary of the two terminal nodes
• Each node represents probabalistic sum of its children
• Experience incorporated into hierarchy incrementally
• Concepts can be split or merged if necessary
