A propos de cet article

**One of the earliest physical models of a machine learning concept** Gordon Pask. "Physical Analogues to the growth of a Concept" from volume II (of two) Mechanisation of Thought Processes conference at London's National Physics Laboratory, HMSO 1958 (1959), and generally considered one of the very earliest AI conferences. Pask's paper (Session 4B, Paper 7) is extracted from the larger bound volume and has a new cloth spine cover along the old spine making the physical object very presentable. This issue comprises pp 877-928, including "Appendix Physical Analogue to the Growth of a Concept" pp 917-922. AND: J. McCarthy "Discussion on the Paper by Mr. G. Pask" pp 923-928. "Pask had constructed a physical device that could learn to discriminate and form concepts through electrochemical growth within the apparatus."--Pickering, Andrew. The Cybernetic Brain: Sketches of Another Future. University of Chicago Press, 2010, pp. 208-214. "Pask's electrochemical devices of the 1950s provided some of the first physical models of concept learning machines whose structure changed so as to acquire new discriminations."--Boden, Margaret A Mind as Machine: A History of Cognitive Science. Oxford University Press, 2006, Vol. 1, pp. 315-320. "Pask entered the field of cybernetics in 1958 at the Mechanization of Thought Processes conference at London's National Physics Laboratory (Pask, 1959). Pask's paper, Physical Analogues to the Growth of a Concept explained how learning and concept development were dynamic processes (Scott, 2007) using the metaphor of a plexus or network of electrodes in solution with thermally sensitive resistance. Per Pask's (1959) demonstration, concept development spurring changes in mental models occurred in a networked fashion. Changes in one part of an assemblage or system create ripples, producing a change in other parts (of neurons/individuals). Supplying the electrolytic assemblage with varying currents produced changes distributed across the assemblage."Gordon Pask's Conversation Theory and Interaction of Actors Theory: Research to Practice" by Shantanu Tilak et al. On the website "Enacting Cybernetics.".…
