Abstract
Perceptual anchoring is the problem of creating and maintaining in time
the connection between symbols and sensor data that refer to the same
physical objects. This is one of the facets of the general problem of
integrating symbolic and non-symbolic processes in an intelligent
system. Gärdenfors' conceptual spaces provide a geometric
treatment of knowledge which bridges the gap between the symbolic and
sub-symbolic approaches. As such, they can be used for the study of the
anchoring problem. In this paper, we propose a computational framework
for anchoring based on conceptual spaces. Our framework exploits the
geometric structure of conceptual spaces for many of the crucial tasks
of anchoring, like matching percepts to symbolic descriptions or
tracking the evolution of objects over time.
