| Abstract(in English) | Based on the insight that all the intellectual activities of human beings are carried out as optimization process, we already proposed Hopfield network model of decision making. Furthermore, we have an interest in what kind of inferences Hopfield network can do and cannot in problem solving, and that there is the similarities in problem solving abilities between humans and Hopfield networks. Solving puzzles is also a typical intellectual activity, so, in this paper, by trying to solve Sudoku puzzles with optimizing Hopfield networks, we show that Hopfield network can do "scanning" technique, but not "forcing chains" technique. This is an interesting phenomenon because humans feel Sudoku problems, which only require scanning technique, easy, but ones, which require forcing chains techniques, hard. We thus show that there is the similarities in problem solving abilities between humans and Hopfield network. |
