{"pk":31745,"title":"Distributed Representation and Parallel Processing of Recursive Structures","subtitle":null,"abstract":"We have developed principles integrating connectionist and symbolic computation by establishing mathematical relationships between two levels of description of a single computational system: at the lower level, the system is formally\ndescribed in terms of highly distributed patterns\nof activity over connectionist units, and the dynamics of these units; at the higher level, the\nsame system is formally described by symbolic\nstructures and symbol manipulation. In this pa-\nper, w e propose a specific treatment of recur-\nsion where complex symbolic operations on re-\ncursive structures are mapped to massively par-\nallel manipulation of distributed representations\nin a connectionist network.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Submitted Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4hs6b3pv","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Yoshiro","middle_name":"","last_name":"Miyata","name_suffix":"","institution":"Chukyo University","department":""},{"first_name":"Paul","middle_name":"","last_name":"Smolensky","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Colorado, Boulder","department":""},{"first_name":"Geraldine","middle_name":"","last_name":"Legendre","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Colorado, Boulder","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/31745/galley/22813/download/"}]}
