An integration of Prolog and neural networks to deal with sensibility in logic programs

Neuro-Prolog, which integrates the Prolog interpreter C-Prolog and the neural network simulator SunNet, is described. By using Neuro-Prolog, users can handle both definite information, such as logical rules, and indefinite information, such as sensibility, concurrently in a single system. In Neuro-Prolog, the definite information is handled in Prolog and the indefinite information is handled in neural networks. A trial application system in Neuro-Prolog was developed to demonstrate the advantages of Neuro-Prolog in real-world problems. The trial system computes RGB values of colors to be put on posters for a given image specification and displays the colors on a CRT.<
