	Roger Schank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Schank's major innovation in these fields were his concepts of case based reasoning and Schank's Dynamic Memory.
		Schank on the other hand stated that memory was in the form of meaningful 'stories' (not merely inert decontextualized information) and that problem solving progressed by using 'cases' or examples stored in memory.
		In Schank's view on the other hand, we accomplish this because we have access to a stored 'schema' based on previous experience of what it is like to walk to the store, and we don't need rules to describe this.

	2.08: The Schank Tank
		The bald, heavyset, 48-year-old Schank has long been considered one of the leading figures in the quest to build software with humanlike knowledge and thinking capabilities; in particular he is known for championing the provocative theory that much of our intelligence is embedded in our proclivity for sharing stories.
		Schank first made his mark on AI in the 1970s at Yale by working on the problem of getting machines to understand written English, one of the most sought-after goals in the field.
		Schank's corporate sponsors, on the other hand, are anxious to get going on the next generation of trainingware, and most of the institute's efforts are focused on meeting their needs.

	Education Review-a journal of book reviews
		Through the use of entertaining and engaging stories, Schank discusses a variety of issues ranging from knowing what can and can not be taught to learners in the context of training to how learners think and learn during their training experiences.
		Schank provides the reader with his simple hope for the book, stating “…that by reading these essays you are starting to reflect on what you are doing in training or might plan to do in training” (Schank, 2005).
		In most of his stories, Schank uses his strong personality, an established reputation, a deep experience base, and typically abundant resources to completely revolutionize their client’s training effort, but it is highly unlikely that anyone who reads the book can closely identify with the situations.

		Schank's vision of education without standardized tests is a welcomed alternative to today's depraved political debate on educational standards.
		Schank draws on Dickens' A Christmas Carol to tell a tale where the head of the Educational Testing Service is visited by the ghost of John Dewey (the famous American educator and advocate of learning by doing.) Dewey sends the ghosts of education past, present, and future to haunt Scrooge.
		Schank shows how this test madness will likely end, but, he says, there is hope for us all, and he explains how we need to understand why we have built what we have built so we can build something new its in place.

	Background: Roger Schank - The World Technology Network
		Roger Schank achieved worldwide fame in the early 70’s (while an Assistant Professor at Stanford) when he was the first to get computers to be able to process typewritten everyday English language sentences.
		While Schank believed that new abilities were the hallmark of learning and these could only be acquired by trying things and failing at them, the schools believed that listening and repeating back what you were told was the essence of the learning process.
		Schank was appalled by this (although he of course recognized it from his own schooling.)

		That was the gist of education and technology expert Roger Schank's advice to attendees during ASTD's 1995 International Conference & Exposition in Dallas.
		Measurement and learning objectives, he asserted, are "the killer[s] in education" and training because they limit instruction to conveying facts ("the least interesting stuff in the world") instead of teaching people to solve problems.
		For instance, when Schank -- simulating a trainee -- typed in a response advising the fictional customer that the water was contaminated, the program responded with a videotape of an old hand advising against this action based on the evidence available.

		Roger Schank, the Brooklyn-born head of Northwestern University's ILS (Institute for Learning Sciences), is one of the more colorful figures in the AI community, perhaps known as much for his blunt speech as for his work in education, cognitive science, AI, and creativity.
		Schank calls the traditional mode of education by computer ``the page-turning architecture'' and the reason most educational software today is devoid of excitement or educational value.
		Schank has a vastly different view of how people learn: They learn by doing, making mistakes, and having experts share experiences to show people what has gone wrong.

		Towards the end of the paper, Schank emphasizes the difference between the meaning of a sentence (that is the conceptual content that CD is claimed to understand) and the meaning of the speaker (that is the intention of that content).
		This latter level of comprehension (interpretation or pragmatics) requires to consider the belief system of the understander, his/her world knowledge etc. In other words, NLU cannot be done without considering memory processes and content.
		In this summary, I have tried not to mention the details of CD because these have changed quite a bit over the years.
