Abstract: Modeling complex systems or natural phenomena requires special skills and extensive domain knowledge. This makes automating model development an intriguing challenge. One question is whether a model’s ontology—the essence of its entities—can be learned automatically from observation. We describe work in progress on automating the learning of a basic concept: an image of the straight line segment between two points in a two-dimensional plane. Humans readily encode such images using two endpoints, or a point, an angle, and a length. Furthermore, image recognition algorithms readily detect line segments in images. Here, we employ autoencoders. Autoencoders perform both feature extraction and reconstruction of inputs from their coded representation. It turns out that autoencoding line segments is not trivial. Our interim conclusions include: (1) Developing methods for comparing the performance of different autoencoders in a given task is an essential research challenge. (2) Development o f autoencoders manifests supervision of this purportedly unsupervised process; one then asks what knowledge employed in such development can be obtained automatically. (3) Automatic modeling of properties of observed objects requires multiple representations and sensors. This work can eventually benefit broader issues in automated model development. (More)
