SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In this book, Russian physicist and computer scientist M.M. Bongard presents his ideas on how to use computers to study the process of pattern recognition, which is considered it to be at the foundation of mental processing. The text explains two training programs for recognition and classification: Arithmetic and Geometry. Also introduced in the Appendix are a number of visual puzzles, which have become known as "Bongard Problems" (BP's). BP's are primarily problems of visual categorization, and thus can play an important role in the disciplines of cognitive psychology and cognitive science.
