{"pk":26492,"title":"Connectionist Semantic Systematicity in Language Production","subtitle":null,"abstract":"A novel connectionist model of sentence production is pre-sented, which employs rich situation model representationsoriginally proposed for modeling systematicity in comprehen-sion (Frank, Haselager, & van Rooij, 2009). The high overallperformance of our model demonstrates that such represen-tations are not only suitable for comprehension, but also formodeling language production. Further, the model is able toproduce novel encodings (active vs. passive) for a particularsemantics, as well as generate such encodings for previouslyunseen situations, thus demonstrating both syntactic and se-mantic systematicity. Our results provide yet further evidencethat such connectionist approaches can achieve systematicity,in production as well as comprehension.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"systematicity; sentence production; connectionist;semantics; syntax; neural networks"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/99v5x35t","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jesus","middle_name":"","last_name":"Calvillo","name_suffix":"","institution":"Saarland University","department":""},{"first_name":"Harm","middle_name":"","last_name":"Brouwer","name_suffix":"","institution":"Saarland University","department":""},{"first_name":"Matthew","middle_name":"W.","last_name":"Crocker","name_suffix":"","institution":"Saarland University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26492/galley/16128/download/"}]}
