{"pk":30921,"title":"Phonological Rule Induction: An Architectural Solution","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Acquiring phonological rules is hard, especially when they do not describe generalizations that hold for all surface forms. W e believe it can be made easier by adopting a more cognitively natural architecture for phonological processing. W e briefly review the structure of M^P, our connectionist Many Maps Model of Phonology, in which extrinsic rule ordering is virtually eliminated, and \"iterative\" processes arc handled by a parallel clustering mechanism. W e then describe a program for inducing phonological rules from examples. Our examples, drawn from Yawelmani, involve several complex rule interactions. The parallel nature of M ^ P rule application greatly simplifies the description of these phenomena, and makes a computational model of rule acquisition feasible.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Paper Presentations -- Group 2: Language","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1sv690z6","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"David","middle_name":"S.","last_name":"Touretzky","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""},{"first_name":"Gillette","middle_name":"","last_name":"Elvgren","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""},{"first_name":"Deirdre","middle_name":"W.","last_name":"Wheeler","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pittsburgh","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1990-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30921/galley/20770/download/"}]}
