{"pk":30646,"title":"Vital A conncetionist Parser","subtitle":null,"abstract":"VITAL is an experiment in parsing natural language through the interaction of many local processes without an explicit global control. The global interpretation is achieved through the convergence of a network of processes on a mutually consistent state through cycles of spreading activation and an implicit form of mutual inhibition. This can be viewed as a constraint satisfaction technique consistent with current research both in linguistics and connectionism.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"natural language processing"},{"word":"Connectionism"}],"section":"Paper Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/53w6j53p","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Tim","middle_name":"","last_name":"Howells","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Massachusetts at Amherst","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1988-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30646/galley/20495/download/"}]}
