Forgetting and Generalisation in Memory Modelling for Robot Companions : a Data Mining Approach

The idea of a robot as a long-term companion has not been widely accepted and sometimes not even considered or imagined. Hence, several issues should be addressed in order to facilitate this long-term human-robot interaction. This work focuses on the memory modelling for artificial companions and its forgetting processes by proposing a novel approach based on hierarchical classification data mining techniques to implement memory generalisation mechanisms.
