This paper presents a compact, theory-free task that inherently requires an integrated solution. The basic problem is learning a subset of an arbitrary natural language from picture-sentence pairs. W e describe a very specific instance of this task and show how it presents fundamental (but not impossible) challenges to several areas of cognitive science including vision, language, inference and learning.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Paper Presentations -- Group 4: Learning and Memory","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8z04k178","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jerome","middle_name":"A.","last_name":"Feldman","name_suffix":"","institution":"International Computer Science Institute","department":""},{"first_name":"George","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lakoff","name_suffix":"","institution":"International Computer Science Institute","department":""},{"first_name":"Andreas","middle_name":"","last_name":"Stolcke","name_suffix":"","institution":"International Computer Science Institute","department":""},{"first_name":"Susan","middle_name":"Hollbach","last_name":"Weber","name_suffix":"","institution":"International Computer Science Institute","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/30963/galley/20812/download/"}]}
