The Feature-Label-Order Effect In Symbolic Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a formal analysis of symbolic learning that predicts significant differences in symbolic learning depending on the sequencing of semantic features and labels. A computational simulation confirms the FeatureLabel-Ordering (FLO) effect in learning that our analysis predicts. Discrimination learning is facilitated when semantic features predict labels, but not when labels predict semantic features. A behavioral study confirms the predictions of the simulation. Our results and analysis suggest that the semantic categories people use to understand and communicate about the world might only be learnable when labels are predicted from objects.

Symbolic Versus Associative Learning
Ramscar and colleagues (2010, this volume) describe the "feature-label-order" (FLO) effect on category learning and characterize it as a constraint on symbolic learning. I argue that FLO is neither a constraint on symbolic learning in the sense of "learning elements of a symbol system" (instead, it is an effect on nonsymbolic, association learning) nor is it, more than any other constraint on c...
متن کاملThe Effects of Feature-Label-Order and Their Implications for Symbolic Learning
Symbols enable people to organize and communicate about the world. However, the ways in which symbolic knowledge is learned and then represented in the mind are poorly understood. We present a formal analysis of symbolic learning-in particular, word learning-in terms of prediction and cue competition, and we consider two possible ways in which symbols might be learned: by learning to predict a ...

متن کاملReliefF-based Multi-label Feature Selection
In recent years, multi-label learning has been used to deal with data attributed to multiple labels simultaneously and has been increasingly applied to various applications. As many other machine learning tasks, multi-label learning also suffers from the curse of dimensionality; so extracting good features using multiple labels of the datasets becomes an important step prior to classification. ...
متن کاملScalable extensions of the ReliefF algorithm for weighting and selecting features on the multi-label learning context
Multi-label learning has become an important area of research due to the increasing number of modern applications that contain multi-label data. The multi-label data are structured in a more complex way than single-label data. Consequently the development of techniques that allow the improvement in the performance of machine learning algorithms over multi-label data is desired. The feature weig...
