Neural Modeling Fields: Fundamentals and Applications

Neural modeling field (NMF) is a mathematical framework for machine learning that integrates ideas from neural networks, fuzzy logic, and model based recognition. Its acronym stands for "Neural Modeling Field." Modeling fields, modeling fields theory (MFT), and Maximum likelihood artificial neural networks (MLANS) are some of the other names that have been used to refer to this concept.At the AFRL, Leonid Perlovsky is the one responsible for developing this framework. The NMF can be understood as a mathematical description of the machinery that make up the mind. These mechanisms include ideas, feelings, instincts, imagination, reasoning, and comprehension. The NMF is organized in a hetero-hierarchical structure that contains many levels. There are concept-models that encapsulate the knowledge at each level of the NMF. These concept-models generate so-called top-down signals, which interact with input signals that come from lower levels. These interactions are governed by dynamic equations, which are responsible for driving concept-model learning, adaptation, and the development of new concept-models for better correspondence to the input, bottom-up signals.
