Abstract:
1. A self-learning, artificial neural network based-discovery device, comprising: a first self-learning artificial neural network capable of generating patterns when perturbed; means for subjecting said first self-learning artificial neural network to varying degrees of perturbation; a second self-learning artificial neural network associated with said first self-learning artificial neural network so as to receive said generated patterns therefrom; means for implementing said generated patterns of said first self-learning artificial neural network as a concept; means of evaluating an effect of said concept; means of triggering reinforcement learning within said first self-training artificial neural network upon any of said generated patterns leading to a positive effect; means of triggering reinforcement learning in said second self-learning artificial neural network so as to incorporate within said second network a relationship between at least one of said generated patterns of said first self-learning artificial neural network and said effect of said generated pattern.
