{ "pk": 32976, "title": "Strong Systematicity within Connectionism: The Tensor-Recurrent Network", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Systematicity, the ability to represent and process stnicturally related objects, is a significant and pervasive property of cognitive behaviour, and clearly evident in language. In the case of Connectionist models that leam from examples, systematicity is generalization over examples sharing a conmion structure. Although Connectionist models (e.g., the recurrent network and its variants) have demonstrated generalization over structured domains, there has not been a clear demonstration of strong systematicity (i.e., generalization across syntactic position). The tensor has been proposed as a way of representing structured objects, however, there has not been an effective learning mechanism (in the strongly systematic sense) to explain how these representations may be acquired. I address this issue through an analysis of tensor learning dynamics. These ideas are then implemented as the tensor-recurrent network which is shown to exhibit strong systematicity on a simple language task. Finally, it is suggested that the properties of the tensor-recurrent network that give rise to strong systematicity are analogous to the concepts of variables and types in the Classical paradigm.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Refereed Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0rp960zk", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Steven", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Phillips", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "The University of Queensland", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1994-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32976/galley/24037/download/" } ] }
