Pattern-Induced Covert Category Learning in Songbirds
Language is uniquely human, but its acquisition may involve cognitive capacities shared with other species. During development, language experience alters speech sound (phoneme) categorization. Newborn infants distinguish the phonemes in all languages but by 10 months show adult-like greater sensitivity to native language phonemic contrasts than non-native contrasts. Distributional theories acc...
متن کاملLearning Driving Behavior by Timed Syntactic Pattern Recognition
We advocate the use of an explicit time representation in syntactic pattern recognition because it can result in more succinct models and easier learning problems. We apply this approach to the real-world problem of learning models for the driving behavior of truck drivers. We discretize the values of onboard sensors into simple events. Instead of the common syntactic pattern recognition approa...
متن کاملComplex Acoustic Pattern Learning in Songbirds and Humans
European starlings have the ability to learn to classify complex grammatical patterns that follow a context-free grammar (CFG) composed of song motifs (Gentner, et al., 2006). Cotton-top tamarins cannot classify CFG patterns, when exposed to patterns composed of human speech (Fitch & Hauser, 2004). Beyond differences in species-specific cognitive ability, methodological differences might accoun...
متن کاملLearning incremental syntactic structures with recursive neural networks
We develop novel algorithmic ideas for building a natural language parser grounded upon the hypothesis of incrementality, which is widely supported by experimental data as a model of human parsing. Our proposal relies on a machine learning technique for predicting the correctness of partial syntactic structures that are built during the parsing process. A recursive neural network architecture i...
متن کاملTemporal pattern processing in songbirds.
Understanding how the brain perceives, organizes and uses patterned information is directly related to the neurobiology of language. Given the present limitations, such knowledge at the scale of neurons, neural circuits and neural populations can only come from non-human models, focusing on shared capacities that are relevant to language processing. Here we review recent advances in the behavio...
