Abstract
A decision making system uses semiotic processing modules to transform a training corpus of information, in the form of sequential sets of symbols, into a knowledge database. The knowledge database is thereafter used to make decisions relating to queries input in the same type of training corpus symbols. In the knowledge base, the system stores data representations of analyses of subsets of the training corpus sets of sequential elements. The knowledge base data representations comprise predicates and elemental and non-elemental acts. An inductive processor recursively processes the training corpus sets by evaluating the relationship and frequency of occurrence of individual elements and sets of elements in the training corpus. After processing of the training corpus is completed, the resultant knowledge base is used to evaluate queries in a performance mode of operation.
