ABSTRACT Computers are autonomous utilitarian machines which can work in wellstructured areas of problem-solving as a tool. However, within an architectural domain, a dialogue between designers and computers remains the same in an age that machines are getting smarter and they can learn. Augmented Creativity is a project which presents a reflection on the spatial aspects of sound alongside an examination of responsive and collaborative design. It proposes a framework and an interactive installation for participative design by implementing machine learning techniques to build a memory, a fauxconscious with the use of sound as a spatial event, an auditive experience. In this approach, design aspects such as the nature of creativity, the muse in the machines, the theory of memory, sound as a material phenomenon, the methods and methodologies in machine learning techniques such as recursive neural networks discussed to design a space which is not just active but also collaborative. The workflow associates computer creativity, interactivity, new media art with the architectural design process, challenging traditional methods and workflows, prioritising process over product and the interaction.

T H E N AT U R E OF C R E AT I V I T Y In a world that the enhanced technologies reveal an ability to exist in solely virtual worlds, the struggle between virtual and physical aspects of ourselves is imminent. Machines are getting smarter, and they can learn, how can computers be more involved in the design process? What is the potential for a computer to compose a creative work? This opening chapter will provide a general discussion on the concept of creativity while creating a base to the further examination of the relationships between human creativity and the capacity of replicating the creative behaviour with machines.

"I begin with an idea, and then it becomes something else." Pablo Picasso W H A T I S C R E A T I V I T Y ?

The history of the term creativity is a broad ranged topic to be introduced as a part of this thesis. It is a paradox and a puzzle which artists, designers, architects even cannot fully explain how they compose novel ideas. They often talk about intuition; however, they cannot confirm how it works. If 'creativity' is a reminiscent word that can have different meanings to different people, it is important to open up this term with modern scientific theories, and then to focus on the interpretation that this thesis addresses.

“Is creativity the result of a unique mechanism or is it just a part of normal problem-solving?” The generation of novel and valuable ideas are forming the basis of creativity which is not just precisely about art or design. The creativity is, at its core, about ideas and how we develop, understand, and communicate them. As a process, it involves critical thinking as well as original insights and fresh ideas. It is not just about having an “a-ha” moment; it is about

setting ourselves up for that time of spark, then knowing what to do when it happens. Learning creativity, therefore, does not mean starting from scratch, it means enhancing the creative intelligence that already exists within us. As it is declared in the second edition of Margret Boden's book, The Creative Mind: Myths and Mechanisms, creativity at the core is a combination of familiar ideas in unfamiliar ways. She also states the fact that there are other cases which involve exploration and transformation of conceptual spaces in people's mind. Boden adopts a view of computational concepts and theories as a crucial element to enhance the psychology behind the creative behaviour while using them as sources of reinforcement for her research. According to Freud, the creative process can be described as a defence mechanism to protect the mind against neurosis and leading it to produce a socially acceptable source of entertainment and pleasure for the public. The 'unconscious' plays a significant role in the act of creation. Hence, this statement

adds another dimension which requires being examined. What are the social aspects of creativity? When does an original idea become innovative? Moreover, most importantly, can creative behaviour be learned? If so, what are the stages of the creative process? F R A M E O F F O C U S A N D N O V E L T Y P A R A D O X

Creation or creative drive is not a foreign topic to philosophers or theologists in all ages. Two thousand years ago, they argued the ex nihilo, creating out of nothing. They claimed that the universe was created not only by God but also, out of God. In this case, the world appeared to have new properties which also God does not have. To solve this paradox, medieval monotheist theologians proposed the idea of metaphysics - an immaterial God to create material universe. Today, some philosophers have decided in the two conclusions cannot be possible at all: God is a noncreator or the creator of nature by some means shares the same properties because if there is no essential distinction between the creator and the creation, there is nothing new. Briefly, the paradox of the novelty still exists. The creation of the universe might be problematic as explaining human creativity scientifically in just one paper. Therefore for this research, it is enough to discuss certain frames of focus on creative behaviour to have a better approach replicating it with machines.

'The bath, the bed, and the bus: this trio summarises what creative people have told us about how they came by their ideas." MARGARET A. BODEN

Before discussing what makes an idea novel, the differences between imagination, creativity and innovation must be resolved. The main difference between these three elements is the frame of focus which will gain importance in the later chapters. Imagination is at basis about picturing what is unreal or impossible. Creativity uses imagination to make unfamiliar combinations for familiar ideas. Lastly, innovation practices creativity and imagination to improve existing systems and ideas. Novelty paradox lies under these three types of creative behaviours with a name - social aspects. If creative ideas are originated from other ideas, then it is hard to see whether the outcomes are novel. If they do not then it is hard to figure where they are coming from at all. In this stage, the reconstruction of the memory will help to understand how this paradox will resolve. The new idea which composed of other ideas will not be the same of the initial or the other new ideas because the question of how did the new idea constructed will matter more than the collection of original ideas. In this way, the new idea, though originating from earlier ones, is different from all

of them. As in their book of Computers and Creativity, Derek Partridge and Jon Rowe state that learning is one of the social aspects of creativity that is revealed by the computational modelling as a component of creative behaviour rather than the idea of becoming or (becoming more) creative. Thus, creative ideas then are new. On the other hand, it is not possible to say every new creative idea is novel. There is a distinction between psychological creativity and historical creativity. Psychological creativity, which will be referred as P-creativity later on, includes surprising and valuable ideas which are new to the person who comes up with it. For instance, children come up with ideas which are new to them, even though these ideas have already been in textbooks. Someone who comes up with a bright idea is not necessarily less creative just because someone else had it before them. However, in order, a brilliant idea counts as a novel; first, it should be accepted by the society. So historical creativity which will be referred as P-creativity, later on, must involve with an idea which has arisen for the first time in human history.

Before discussing scientific theories on creativity, expanding the three forms of creativity is necessary because each way is corresponding to a different type of 'surprise'. The first one as stated before involves unfamiliar combinations to familiar ideas. Making and appreciating the novel combination requires a rich store of background knowledge in one's mind and many ways of moving around with it. The combinations may or may not have been caused by some random process. For instance, the drama tv series called Westworld(page 12, bottom left) is a combination of the western and the sci-fi concepts which are connecting to each other on the screen with having a 3d printed AI in 13

a Western theme park. The second one concerns the exploration of conceptual spaces which are structured styles of thought that are affected by or borrowed from one's culture and peers. The idea of 'earth is flat.' can be given as an example(page 12, bottom right). Exploratory creativity is relevant because it does enable someone to see potential that they never thought before. The ladder form of creativity involves to realise the limitations of the conceptual spaces and transforming them into new styles such as cubism and its impact on the art. The painting Guernica by Pablo Picasso(page 12, top) depicts this new style with an abandoned perspective, open forms,

blending background into the foreground and showing objects from various angles. The impossible looking idea can come about only if the creator changes the preexisting style in some way, it must be tweaked so that thought is now possible which previously were inconceivable. L O V E L A C E Q U E S T I O N S

After all, the information is given previously; the very idea remains still: 'computers cannot create because they can do only what they are programmed to do.'. This argument published by very first programmer Lady Ada Lovelace and her colleague Charles Babbage. The statement above used as a dismissive no by many people to respond four Lovelace questions which this thesis mostly moved around them. "Can computational ideas help to understand how human creativity is possible?" "Could computers (now or in the future) ever do things which at least appear to be creative?" "Could a computer ever seem to recognise creativity?" (For instance, in poems written by humans poets.) "Could computers ever really be creative whose originality does not depend on the human programmer?" Although this thesis is not purely about answering these questions, in the following chapters they will be used to understand better the interaction between architect as a programmer, why certain elements are utilised in the workflow to compose a participatory design.

P O I N C A R E ' S 4 S TAG E M O D E L WEISBERG'S CRITICISM

Traditional beliefs about human creativity are often influenced by the paradoxical mechanism of the concept: inspiration, poetic muse, and they are profoundly pessimistic about the capacity of science to explain it. The inspirational approach comprehends creativity as a divine and mysterious power. The romantic view, on the other hand, is less extreme. It states cre-

ative minds are gifted people with a particular talent, insights or intuition. Until now, the explanations are mostly vague and fundamentally unanalysable. From a psychological view, insight is the name of the question rather than the answer. One of the first published reaction to romanticism comes from the book The Act of Creation by A. Koestler, 1975. However, Koestler's description has no detail, and it is pretty generic. This thesis picks up where Koestler left it. The primary concern is the first Lovelace question, an artificial intelligence and computational concepts help to understand better the process of a creative idea. Another theory about creativity is written by the French mathematician Poincare. As he suggests in Mathematical Creation(1924, chapter 7) there are four stages to be considered. Preparation which is the stage of concentrated work and accumulating data, incubation which is the time corresponds to digesting all

the information knowledge, illumination which is the moment of finding a solution to the problem, verification which is the further period to justify and correct the results. However, Weisberg claims that incubation and illumination stages that represented in the model of Poincare have no experimental evidence. Later he analysed the experiments conducted by Olton, Read and Bruce or Perkins in the 1960s on the problem-solving, the writing poems, the conscious efforts of remembering. His conclusions on the final stage of his career were that the creative thinking employs the same mechanisms as usual problem-solving techniques: a person may become more creative with a significant amount of background knowledge because it is easier to recognise patterns in the base data by committing to solve problems. This argument indicates that innovative behaviour may be domain dependent. Hence, creative thinking does require special mechanisms.

"The moment of truth, the sudden emergence of a new insight is an act of intuition. Such intuitions give the appearance of miraculous flashes or short-circuit of reasoning. In fact, they may be likened to an immersed chain, of which only the beginning and the end are visible above the surface of consciousness. The diver vanishes at the one end, guided by invisible links."

However, for a computer, forming original work by itself is an enormous challenge because it requires a machine which can learn. Today, computer scientists mainly focus on the usage of artificial intelligence in business, medicine, fabrication rather than architecture, design, art which requires creative notion. Therefore, communication and dialogue between architect and computer remain the same, it does not change into a partnership and collaboration.The following chapter will showcase current applications in design and architecture domain while discussing the rules for computational creativity.

When programming a soft intelligence, the computer is expected to solve problems, to represent knowledge, to have a common sense and social intelligence, to learn, to perceive motion and manipulation and lastly to be able to have creative drive. The chatbots, automation in production, medical diagnosing software already have covered most of the steps. However computational creativity has its sub necessities. Tho goals of simulating creative behaviour with a computer can be summarised into three major accomplishments: constructing a program that is capable of human creativity, understanding better human creativity and formulating an algorithmic perspective on creative behaviour, designing programs that can enhance human creativity without necessarily being creative themselves. This paper mostly moves around the ladder two. Newell, Shaw and Simon as artificial intelligence researchers defined computational creativity in similar ways to Boden's book The Creative Mind. They stated that the output from any programme should be useful or novel regarding P-Creativity or H-Creativity, it should often demand to reject old ideas that humanity previously accepted, it should come from clarifying an initially vague problem. They have also proposed few strategies to

“Current procedures can be automated, thus speeding up and reducing the cost of existing practices; existing methods can be altered to fit within the specifications and constitution of a machine, where only those issues are considered that are supposedly machine-compatible; the design process, considered as evolutionary, can be presented to a machine, also considered evolutionary, and a mutual training, resilience, and growth can be developed.â€?

Artificial intelligence(often called AI) is the intelligent behaviour by computers which can mimic cognitive functions that humans do such as problem-solving, learning, being self-aware. With today's technology, machines can understand successfully human speech (such as Amazon's personal assistant Alexa), compete in high-level strategic games (such as Google DeepMind), drive autonomously(Tesla Cars), simulate and interpret complex data. Another approach which uses artificial intelligence as a tool is

Artificial Life which is a research domain where the systems and processes in nature are examined by researchers with the simulations, computer models and robotics. Software, hardware or biochemical based approaches such as evolutionary algorithms, multi-agent systems, swarm intelligence allow studying living systems by researchers. Although Artificial Intelligence might seem useful in automation, medicine, military when it comes to the creative domain, it brings up many questions and challenges to the architects and designers.

Since AI is the broadest term which applies any technique that enables computers to mimic human intelligence using logic, if-then rules and decision trees algorithms, understanding about two types of artificial intelligence which are general and narrow are required to follow up this research with a hypothesis. General AI as a term, is given for the generic idea of behaving exactly like a human. Today, it is only possible to talk about General AI in movies or scripted narratives. With the advances in computing power, it is expected to observe evolution in artificial intelligence as well. The prospect of what might become are gathered into four types for the AI. The first category, 'purely reactive' can perceive its environment and acts accordingly without having any idea of a wider word or memories such as IBM's DeepBlue or Google's Alpha Go. The second type, 'limited memory' can learn arbitrarily from the past information, plus what it just learned such as self-driving cars, chatbots or personal assistants.

Further up on the AI evolutionary ladder, 'theory of mind' can understand thoughts, emotions, motives such as iconic movie characters C-3PO and R2-D2 from Star Wars universe. Lastly, there is 'self-aware' type, the future generation of machines such as Eva in the 2015 movie Ex Machina. On the other hand, the Narrow type of an AI reflects a more realistic point of view wherein specifically directed to a domain to perform a certain task such as managing the Big Data, finding patterns, means in industries. U N D E R S T A N D I N G T H E M A C H I N E L E A R N I N G

One of the subsets of a narrow artificial intelligence is machine learning. With the use of machine learning, it is possible for machines to guide themselves without human intervention or explicitly programmed. Similarly to the Poincare's theory on creativity, machine learning has five steps: collecting data, preparing the dataset, training a model, evaluating the model, improving performances. Machine learning, which will be referred later on as ML, works with three types of learning systems to learn from the collected data and make predictions. As an addition to four stage model, ML can use the learned data to come up with better predictions for future patterns.

ognition in computer science, ML tasks fit into one of the three learning types: supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning. Supervised Learning is a form of learning which depends on the database where the actual tag(or tags) is indicated. For instance, detecting pictures of buildings and bridges can be taught with a database with images tagged as ''building" or "bridge" and supervised learning algorithms. When the computer learns the difference, the ML algorithm can classify new data and predict labels on previously unseen images. Unsupervised Learning is another type of learning where there is no need for labelling. However, it highly depends on a database with a vast of data of every aspect of an object. For example, it is possible to feed the algorithm with every cat video on Youtube without labelling them as cats, after the training, the model will give an estimate on the new visuals such as 80% cat. Reinforcement Learning, on the other hand, works completely different. Let's assume that the model will learn how to play chess. ML will only receive information about whether the game is lost or won. After playing many times, the programme will start to learn which moves can lead itself to the winning.

Each node is input before training, then hidden during training and output afterwards. These networks are often called associative memory because the converge to the most similar state as the input.

Are very straightforward, they feed information from the front to the back (input and output, respectively). Neural networks are often described as having layers, where each layer consists of either input, hidden or output cells in parallel.

Are a better usable because they are more restricted? They do not trigger-happily connect every neuron to every other neuron but only connect every different group of neurons to every other group, so no input neurons are directly linked to other input neurons, and no hidden to hidden connections are made either..

Have connections between passes, connections through time. Neurons are fed information not just from the previous layer but also from themselves from the previous pass. This argument means that the order in which is necessary to feed the input and train the network matters: feeding it “milk” and then “cookies” may yield different results compared to feeding it “cookies” and then “milk”.

Networks try to combat the vanishing / exploding gradient problem by introducing gates and an explicitly defined memory cell. These are inspired mostly by circuitry, not so much biology. Each neuron has a memory cell and three gates: input, output and forget. LSTMs have been shown to be able to learn complex sequences, such as writing like Shakespeare or composing primitive music.

PA R T I C I PAT O RY DESIGN 33 As shown previously, the similarity between psychological, creative behaviour and computational creativity is inevitable. With the composing algorithms and learning types correctly according to perform specific tasks, teaching a machine to learn can be taught. Consequently, this thesis hypothesises that computers can learn creative behaviour using RNN(Recurrent Neural Networks) machine learning techniques while building an LSTM(long short-term memory). Moreover, as an objective, this can be demonstrated with an interactive installation where the sound becomes a spatial event, a material phenomenon, an auditive phenomenon to explore the invisible public space. As a result, the designer, the user and space can collaborate and compose a participatory design. Despite the fact that collaborative design often involves the creation and observation of novel design processes, intended to move beyond conventional technical roles, participatory design techniques aim to involve the end-users in the development of that technology and design.

The interactivity of this installation works almost the same way of a jazz improvisation "Call and Response". In music, a call and intervention is a succession of two distinct phrases usually played by different musicians, where the second phrase is heard as a direct commentary on or response to the first. Here, in the beginning, the user activates the space by moving around with a direct sound feedback. After ten seconds, the generated sound caused by the movement of the user will be saved into the database folder of the recurrent neural network in order the computer can respond with a next generation of the user's call. After the user hears the generated chords, he/she may respond to the machine with improvising his/her movements in the space to participate in the collaborative design. At this point, it is also important to state the fact that the designer's first calibrations such as the visible space layout, the sound and space relationships and the decision of the body part as a controller, are extremely important. According to the feedback from the overall sound and the user's preferences, the designer can make adjustments or additions to the overall interaction.

MIDI is a set of pure data or in other terms instructions. It contains a list of events and messages to a device how to generate a specific sound such as polyphonic key pressure, control change, pitch wheel, note on or off. The best way to describe MIDI is to explain what MIDI is not. MIDI is not music, does not contain actual sounds and lastly, it is not a digital sound format such as MP3 or FLAC. The importance of using MIDI files in the database for the experiments is the fact that MIDI files are not restricted with a specific instrument, and the pitch for vocal ranges can easily be changed.

Virtual experiments ran to optimise variables and control them to achieve best results with the computer power which is used for this research. The general aim of the virtual experiments is to assure for a user an invisible user experience. The workflow brings many different software and hardware components together. 1- Max MSP is used to extract location values from the captured skeleton of the user with the help of a Kinect sensor.

BARCELONA 2017

2- Wekinator uses a machine learning algorithm to transform x,y,z locations into a sound. 3- Max Msp saves the sound file into the database. 4- Recurrent Neural Networks generates next sequences. For the architecture of the neural network, Bob Sturms character based model - ABC notation, Doug Eck's blues improvisation and lastly Nicolas Boulanger-Lewandowski's polyphonic music generation researchers have been investigated. The lack of understanding the time signature, the se-

lection of coherent chords and the differences between a long hold and two beats within the same duration, created a challenge. However, since the main goal is to explore the possibilities of interaction between architect, computer and user, being able to pass the Turing Test was not the main concern unlike many researchers going on about computational creativity.

Purpose of this experiment is to create a music/sound generation with using basic Rnn methods. Dependencies: Numpy, Pandas, Msgpack, Glob, Tensorflow, Tqdm, Python-Midi Since the duration is kept too short to prevent any crashes in the first runtime, there is no compositional element detected in the generated chords such as verse, chorus and tempo.

This step failed every runtime due to the computational power. The given result ran with a very lower learning rate (0.1) and a 100 of hidden layers.

To prevent the overfit, dropout method has been implemented to the code. It essentially means randomly removing some part of the hidden nodes from each layer during every training batch.

The first design proposal investigates the portability aspect of the instrument. Using different textures and materials on the surfaces might create different effects on the each note such as the musical instrument accordion. The user plays while computer listens then, the computer will give an auditive response, and the cycle continues. The major disadvantage of this design besides computational power is the learning how to play it since the user will need time and practice to master it to become a part of the collaborative effort. 43 B O D Y

The second proposal designed as a wearable. Using capacitive touch sensors will allow the body to use itself as a tool to create sounds such as clapping, grasping, snapping. It is easier to fabricate, no need for the user manual(intuition will work just fine), plus, the wearable can be used with other as well to enhance the physical awareness. Technical difficulties such as the necessity to be connected to a computer all times was a drawback for this program.

The final design came out the idea of immersing sound and space as a whole experience. Here, the sound becomes a spatial event, a material phenomenon and it activates the space. Another interesting fact is the workflow bringing two types of learning together. With the correct power station or cloud, it is possible to have a real-time feedback with multiple users.

Initial experiments were about smoothing the connection in the workflow to create invisible UI(user interface) with a natural UX (user experience) which was highly challenging due to the software, hardware and OSX compatibility. In the beginning, the aim was, detecting skeleton and train a supervised learning to entwine body positions with specific oscillator libraries in Processing 3. Kinect skeleton tracking in MacOs is not available to run with Processing. To solve this issue mentioned above, a combination of Delicode_Ni Mate and MaxMSP is used. MaxMSP directed the received information to Wekinator then, again MaxMSP is utilised to listen to Fm synths and drum beats coming from the speakers and transform them into MIDI format. Running many different applications at the same time is another challenge concerning the automation process and CPU. One of the interesting things to observe in the performances is the aggressive dialogues in between the user and the computer. When the user does not wait to listen to the whole generated composition, but

he/she decides to react immediately or to dance while listening. In the end, the collection memories or dialogues gathered to compose a one-minute performance. F U R T H E R D E V E L O P M E N T S

Investigation body language, auditive experience and the dialogue between users and the evolving environment is a particularly interesting topic. It makes the designer or architect question their changing role and the capacity to intervene and act as a catalyst. The interactive installation creates a conversational environment which enables to observe and be observed by machines to the three most important participants of the design process: the architect, the computer and lastly the user. The same workflow with different sensors (such as Kinect2 or Leap Motion) or changing space dynamics in real-time, can create a possibility to observe how body language changes if there is another user in this conversational environment.

CONCLUSION In this paper, it is presented a workflow and a method for responsive and collaborative design alongside the spatial aspects of sound. The system aims to compose and find alternative relationships between designer and space by implementing machine learning techniques in an interactive installation. Such as supervised learning techniques allow the designer has more control over the results while unsupervised machine learning techniques might flourish new ideas or new perspectives while generating sound with the learnings from the user/designer. Changing variables such as data sets and learning rate, have a higher impact of the composing innovative responses. New application domains enabled by this work range from the materiality of sound design to temporary structure designs. At the core of this research lies our motivation to advance the invention and practice of novel workflows and tools involving machine learning techniques, interaction design and sound as a spatial event. This research will enable a shift the overall approach to design process while challenging the designers to produce specific models of computational learning techniques according to the needs.

THESIS

Logistic Regression, Mathematics, "a mathematical model used in statistics to estimate (guess) the probability of an event occurring having been given some previous data. Logistic Regression works with binary data, where either the event happens (1) or the event does not happen (0). So given some feature x, it tries to find out whether some event y happens or not. So 'y' can either be 0 or 1. In the case where the event happens, y is given the value 1. If the event does not happen, then y is given the value of 0.”, https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_Regression Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), ANN, A recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture (an artificial neural network) proposed in 1997 by Sepp Hochreiter and Jürgen Schmidhuber to suggest a solution to backpropagation problems. LSTM is a gating unit to forget an input and remember it when it becomes necessary., Machine Learning, Computer Science, A subfield of computer science that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed,

Neural Network, Computer Science, a computational approach which is based on an extensive collection of neural units loosely modelling the way the brain solves problems with large clusters of biological neurons connected by axons., Naive Bayes Classifier, Computer Science, A family of a simple probabilistic classifier based on applying Bayes' theorem with strong (naive) independence assumptions between the features., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naive_Bayes_classifier Parsing, Computer Science, "In some machine translation and natural language processing systems, written texts in human languages are parsed by a computer program. Human sentences are not easily parsed by programs, as there is substantial ambiguity in the structure of human language, whose usage is to convey meaning (or semantics) amongst a potentially unlimited range of possibilities but only some of which are germane to the particular case. So an utterance "Man bites dog" versus "Dog bites man" is definite on one detail but in another language might appear as "Man dog bites" with a reliance on the larger context to distinguish between those two possibilities if indeed that difference was of concern. It is hard to prepare formal rules to describe informal behaviour even though it is clear that some rules are being followed.”, Perceptron, Algorithm, "the perceptron is an algorithm for supervised learning of binary classifiers (functions that can decide whether an input, represented by a vector of numbers, belongs to some specific class or not).” Principal Component Analysis (PCA), A statistical procedure that uses an orthogonal transformation to convert a set of observations of possibly correlated variables into a set of values of linearly uncorrelated variables called principal components.

Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), ANN, "a class of artificial neural network where connections between units form a directed cycle. This creates an internal state of the network which allows it to exhibit dynamic temporal behaviour. Unlike feedforward neural networks, RNNs can use their internal memory to process arbitrary sequences of inputs. This makes them applicable to tasks such as unsegmented connected handwriting recognition or speech recognition.”, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrent_neural_network Recursive Neural Tensor Network (RNTN), ANN, "A recursive neural network is created by applying the same set of weights recursively over a differentiable graph-like structure, by traversing the structure in topological order. Such networks are typically also trained by the reverse mode of automatic differentiation.They were introduced to learn distributed representations of structure, such as logical terms. A special case of recursive neural networks is the RNN itself whose structure corresponds to a linear chain. Recursive neural networks have been applied to natural language processing.The Recursive Neural Tensor Network uses a tensor-based composition function for all nodes in the tree.” Reinforced learning, Computer Science, "an area of machine learning inspired by behaviourist psychology, concerned with how software agents ought to take actions in an environment to maximise some notion of cumulative reward.” Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM), ANN, a generative stochastic artificial neural network that can learn a probability distribution over its set of inputs., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restricted_Boltzmann_machine Ruairi Glynn, "practices as an installation artist and directs the Interactive Architecture Lab at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London.”, "http://www.ruairiglynn.co.uk Self-Organizing Map, ANN, "A type of Artificial Neural Network that is trained using unsupervised learning to produce a low-dimensional (typically two-dimensional), discretised representation of the input space of the training samples, called a map. Self-organizing maps differ from other artificial neural networks as they apply competitive learning as opposed to error-correction learning (such as backpropagation with gradient descent), and in the sense that they use a neighbourhood function to preserve the topological properties of the input space.”, Strong AI, Computer Science, The appropriately programmed computer with the right inputs and outputs would thereby have a mind in the same sense human beings have minds.
