Learning the Past Tense of English Verbs: Connectionism Fights Back
The ability to learn the past tense of English verbs has become a benchmark test for cognitive modelling. In a recent paper, Ling (1994) presented a detailed head-to-head comparison of the generalization abilities of a particular Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model and a general purpose Symbolic Pattern Associator (SPA). The conclusion was that the SPA generalizes the past tense of unseen ver...
متن کاملHybrid Computational Model for Producing English Past Tense Verbs
In this work, we explore the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) as computational models for producing English past tense verbs by combining them with the genetic algorithms (GA). The principal focus was to model the population variability exhibited by children in learning the past tense. This variability stems from genetic and environmental origins. We simulated the effects of genetic infl...
متن کاملLearning the Past Tense of English Verbs: An Extension to FOIDL
First-Order Induction of Decision Lists (FOIDL) is a new ILP method developed as a result of the failure of existing ILP methods when applied to the learning of past tense of English verbs. Using intentional knowledge representation, output completeness, and first-order decision lists, it can learn highly accurate rules for the past tense problem but with some drawbacks. In this paper, we prese...
متن کاملPast tense production by English second language learners with and without language impairment.
PURPOSE This study investigated whether past tense use could differentiate children with language impairment (LI) from their typically developing (TD) peers when English is children's second language (L2) and whether L2 children's past tense profiles followed the predictions of Bybee's (2007) usage-based network model. METHOD A group of L2 children with LI (L2-LI) and a matched group of L2-TD...

mine the nature of mental computation. Over the last decade the focus of this debate has been the contrast between classical views of mental computation, seen as the rule-based manipulation of strings of symbols with a syntax, as opposed to more distributed systems, operating subsymbolically and without syntax. Despite the pervasive and crucial nature of this debate, it has nonetheless been har...
