Robust pattern recognition system and method using socratic agents
First Claim
1. A pattern recognition method, comprising:
- creating, using a first one or more computers, a communication linkage among a plurality of pattern recognition modules;
selecting, using the first one or more of the computers, as one or more source pattern recognition modules one or more of the pattern recognition modules;
obtaining or having obtained, using the first one or more computers, in said one or more source pattern recognition modules one or more pieces of communicable knowledge data;
selecting or having selected or receiving a selection, using the first one or more computers, of one or more of the pattern recognition modules as one or more recipient pattern recognition modules to receive said one or more pieces of communicable knowledge data;
sending or having sent, using the first one or more computers and the communication linkage, said one or more pieces of communicable knowledge data from said one or more source pattern recognition modules to said one or more recipient pattern recognition modules;
obtaining or having obtained or receiving or having received, using the first one or more computers, performance measurements comparing for each of one or more of the recipient pattern recognition modules respectively, its performance with the addition of the one or more pieces of communicable knowledge data with its performance without the one or more pieces of communicable knowledge data; and
communicating or having communicated, using the first one or more computers and the communication linkage said performance measurements from said one or more recipient pattern recognition modules back to said one or more source pattern recognition modules.

Abstract
A computer-implemented pattern recognition method, system and program product, the method comprising in one embodiment: creating electronically a linkage between a plurality of models within a classifier module within a pattern recognition system such that any one of said plurality of models may be selected as an active model in a recognition process; creating electronically a null hypothesis between at least one model of said plurality of linked models and at least a second model among said plurality of linked models; accumulating electronically evidence to accept or reject said null hypothesis until sufficient evidence is accumulated to reject said null hypothesis in favor of one of said plurality of linked models or until a stopping criterion is met; and transmitting at least a portion of the electronically accumulated evidence or a summary thereof to accept or reject said null hypothesis to a pattern classifier module.

14. A pattern recognition system, comprising:
-
a first one or more computers configured to perform the following steps; creating, using the first one or more computers, a communication linkage among a plurality of pattern recognition modules; selecting or having selected or receiving a selection, using the first one or more of the computers, one or more of the pattern recognition modules as one or more source pattern recognition modules; obtaining or having obtained, using the first one or more computers, in said one or more source pattern recognition modules one or more pieces of communicable knowledge data; selecting, using the first one or more computers, as one or more recipient pattern recognition modules one or more of the pattern recognition modules to receive said one or more pieces of communicable knowledge data; sending or having sent, using the first one or more computers and the communication linkage, said one or more pieces of communicable knowledge data from said one or more source pattern recognition modules to said one or more recipient pattern recognition modules; obtaining or having obtained or receiving or having received, using the first one or more computers, performance measurements comparing for each of one or more of the recipient pattern recognition modules respectively, its performance with the addition of the one or more pieces of communicable knowledge data with its performance without the one or more pieces of communicable knowledge data; and communicating or having communicated, using the first one or more computers and the communication linkage to said performance measurements from said one or more recipient pattern recognition modules back to said one or more source pattern recognition modules. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
