Abstract

As known to us, the cognition process is the instinct learning ability of the human being. This process is perhaps one of the most complex human behaviors. It is a highly efficient and intelligent information processing process. For a cognition process of the natural world, humans always transfer the feature information to the brain through their perception, and then the brain processes the feature information and remembers it. Due to the invention of computers, scientists are now working toward improving its artificial intelligence, and they hope that one day the computer could have its intelligent “brain” as human does. However, it is still a long way for us to go in order to let a computer truly “think” by itself. Currently, artificial intelligence is an important and active research topic. It imitates the human brain using the idea of function equivalence. Traditionally, the neural computing and neural networks families are the majority parts of the direction (Haykin, 1994). By imitating the working mechanism of the human-brain neuron, scientists have built the neural networks theory following experimental research such as perception neurons and spiking neurons (Gerstner & Kistler, 2002) in order to understand the working mechanism of neurons. Neural-computing and neural networks (NN) families (Bishop, 1995) have made great achievements in various aspects. Recently, statistical learning and support vector machines (SVM) (Vapnik, 1995) have drawn extensive attention and shown better performances in various areas (Li, Wei & Liu, 2004) than NN, which implies that artificial intelligence can also be made via advanced statistical computing theory. Nowadays, these two methods tend to merge under the statistical learning theory framework
