Abstract
The computational (numerical information) and symbolic (knowledge-based) processing used in intelligent processing has advantages and disadvantages. A simple model integrating symbols into a neural network was proposed as a first step toward fusing computational and symbolic processing. To verify the effectiveness of this model, we first analyze the trained neural network and generate symbols manually. Then we discuss generation methods that are able to discover effective symbols during training of the neural network. We evaluated these through simulations of reinforcement learning in simple football games. Results indicate that the integration of symbols into the neural network improved the performance of player agents.
