Systems and methods of cognitive patterns knowledge generation

Abstract

A processor based system and method of generating new pattern knowledge of a sensory input is disclosed. The system comprises a memory to store abstract patterns as pattern knowledge, a sensor configured to receive a concrete pattern representing a sensory input, an adaption module configured to horizontally blended abstract patterns to create a horizontally blended abstract pattern as the new pattern knowledge if a degree of blending the abstract and concrete patterns exceeds a threshold. In some embodiments, the horizontally blended abstract pattern comprises a selective projection of parameters of two abstract patterns. In some embodiments, the systems and methods further comprise vertically blending the abstract pattern and the concrete pattern by selectively projecting parameters of an abstract pattern with the parameters of the concrete pattern.
