Why Underlying Representations ?

چکیده
Phonology is changing rapidly... Some phonologists collect the evidence for their theories using introspection, fieldwork and descriptive grammars, while others trust only quantitatively robust experimentation or corpus data. Some test phonological theories computationally... whereas others prefer to compare theories on conceptual grounds.... As the field grows and diversifies, it is becoming harder for phonologists to talk to each other, for who can be a computer scientist, phonetician, neurolinguist and expert in adjacent fields such as morphology and syntax at the same time as having a command of the extensive literature on phonology-internal argumentation and phonological typology?

Mental Representations of Lyrical Prose
The article analyzes mental representations of Russian lyrical prose texts. The texts demonstrate collective memory engrams that are defined by cultural and historical legacy of the nation and authors’ creative world perception. In architectonics of a lyrical prose text, sense perception reveals itself in accumulated underlying meanings and wisdom conveyed by expressive means. The author’s inte...
متن کاملFoundations of molecular similarity analysis
Rather different computational approaches are successfully employed to search for novel active compounds. Among those are various similarity-based methods that sometimes use only simple molecular representations. The complexity of computational tools and molecular representations does not correlate with their success in virtual screening and in recognizing increasingly diverse structures having...
متن کاملSymmetry Regularization
The properties of a representation, such as smoothness, adaptability, generality, equivariance/invariance, depend on restrictions imposed during learning. In this paper, we propose using data symmetries, in the sense of equivalences under transformations, as a means for learning symmetryadapted representations, i.e., representations that are equivariant to transformations in the original space....
متن کاملA neural network model of individual differences in task switching abilities.
We use a biologically grounded neural network model to investigate the brain mechanisms underlying individual differences specific to the selection and instantiation of representations that exert cognitive control in task switching. Existing computational models of task switching do not focus on individual differences and so cannot explain why task switching abilities are separable from other e...
متن کاملPrinciples of Representation: Why You Can't Represent the Same Concept Twice
As embodied theories of cognition are increasingly formalized and tested, care must be taken to make informed assumptions regarding the nature of concepts and representations. In this study, we outline three reasons why one cannot, in effect, represent the same concept twice. First, online perception affects offline representation: Current representational content depends on how ongoing demands...
متن کاملA Sensorimotor Model for Computing Intended Reach Trajectories
The presumed role of the primate sensorimotor system is to transform reach targets from retinotopic to joint coordinates for producing motor output. However, the interpretation of neurophysiological data within this framework is ambiguous, and has led to the view that the underlying neural computation may lack a well-defined structure. Here, I consider a model of sensorimotor computation in whi...
