{"pk":31685,"title":"Learning Language via Perceptual/Motor Experiences","subtitle":null,"abstract":"We postulate that early childhood language semantics\nis \"grounded\" in perceptual/motor experiences. The\nDETE model has been constructed to explore this\nhypothesis. During learning, DETE's input consists\nof simulated verbal, visual and motor sequences.\nAfter learning, DETE demonstrates its language\nunderstanding via two tasks: (a) Verbal-to-\nvisual/moior association -- given a verbal sequence,\nDETE generates the visual/motor sequence being\ndescribed, (b) Visuallmotor-io-verbal association --\ngiven a visual/motor sequence, DETE generates a\nverbal sequence describing the visual/motor input.\nDETE ' s learning abilities result from a novel neural\nnetwork module, called katamic memory. DETE is\nimplemented as a large-scale, parallel, neural/\nprocedural hybrid architecture, with over 1 million\nvirtual processors executing on a 16K processor CM -\n2 Connection Machine.*","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Submitted Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/29f6r9j1","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Michael","middle_name":"G.","last_name":"Dyer","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California Los Angeles","department":""},{"first_name":"Valeriy","middle_name":"I.","last_name":"Nenov","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California Los Angeles","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1993-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31685/galley/22753/download/"}]}
