Learning the Past Tense of English Verbs: The Symbolic Pattern Associator vs. Connectionist Models
Learning the past tense of English verbs | a seemingly minor aspect of language acquisition | has generated heated debates since 1986, and has become a landmark task for testing the adequacy of cognitive modeling. Several arti cial neural networks (ANNs) have been implemented, and a challenge for better symbolic models has been posed. In this paper, we present a general-purpose Symbolic Pattern...

متن کاملLearning 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 کاملAnswering the connectionist challenge: a symbolic model of learning the past tenses of English verbs.
Supporters of eliminative connectionism have argued for a pattern association-based explanation of language learning and language processing. They deny that explicit rules and symbolic representations play any role in language processing and cognition in general. Their argument is based to a large extent on two artificial neural network (ANN) models that are claimed to be able to learn the past...
متن کاملLearning from a connectionist model of the acquisition of the English past tense.
In a recent issue of this journal, Marcus (1995) criticizes Plunkett and Marchman's (Plunkett and Marchman, 1993, henceforth PM) connectionist account of the acquisition of verb morphology for employing "misleading graphing practices" (p. 273), "including arbitrary, unexplained changes in how graphs were plotted" (p. 277) that exaggerate "the apparent very close similarity between the learning ...
