Neuroinformatics and Semantic Representations

Book excerpt: This book proposes an approach to the analysis of information using a neural network based on neural-like elements and temporal summation of signals, which makes it possible to implement a structural approach to the analysis of information streams. Together with associative access to information, structural multilevel analysis enables the interpretation of information processing in columns of the cerebral cortex of humans. Using representations of information processing in the hippocampus, it is possible to re-construct the human model of the world and to interpret purposeful behaviour. The book describes the procedure for synchronizing the world models of various people, allowing automatic semantic analysis of unstructured text information, including construction of a semantic network of a text as its semantic portrait.
