THE ADVANCED UNCERTAIN REASONING ARCHITECTURE, AURA

The ADAM binary neural network which has been used for image analysis applications, is con-tructed around a central component termed a Correlation Matrix Memory (CMM). A recent re-examination of the CMM has led to development of the Advanced Uncertain Reasoning Architecture (AURA). AURA inherits many useful characteristics from ADAM, but is intended for applications requiring the manipulation of symbolic knowledge. This paper shows how the AURA architecture has been developed from ADAM and explains its method of operation. The paper also outlines the use of AURA in symbolic processing applications, and highlights some of the ways in which the AURA approach is superior to other methods.
