I'm working on how to extend swarm intelligence by developing and
studying a new swarm intelligence approach to abductive inference.
PhD Proposal
"Extending Swarm Intelligence to Abductive Diagnosis"
This
research addresses how swarm intelligence systems using force-guided
particles can be generalized as an inference method for abductive
problem solving. The central hypothesis is that by allowing set of
particles, rather than each single particle as in past self-organizing
particle systems, to represent solutions to problems, one can
generalize these particle systems to construct solutions to abductive
inference problems. A fundamental question being asked by this research
is how to formulate a high-dimensional self-organizing particle system
to collectively construct explanations as a mechanism for abductive
diagnostic problem solving.
