1 Generalization , representation , and recovery in a self - organizing feature - map model of language acquisition

چکیده
This study explores the self-organizing neural network as a model of lexical and morphological acquisition. We examined issues of generalization, representation, and recovery in a multiple feature-map model as implemented in DISLEX (Miikkulainen, 1997). Our results indicate that self-organization and Hebbian learning are two important computational principles that can account for the psycholinguistic processes of semantic representation, morphological generalization, and recovery from generalizations in the acquisition of reversive prefixes such as unand dis-. These results attest to the utility of self-organizing neural networks in the study of language acquisition.

متن کاملSteel Consumption Forecasting Using Nonlinear Pattern Recognition Model Based on Self-Organizing Maps
Steel consumption is a critical factor affecting pricing decisions and a key element to achieve sustainable industrial development. Forecasting future trends of steel consumption based on analysis of nonlinear patterns using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques is the main purpose of this paper. Because there are several features affecting target variable which make the analysis of relations...
متن کاملThe Acquisition of Lexical and Grammatical Aspect in a Self-Organizing Feature-Map Model
This study uses self-organizing feature maps to model the acquisition of lexical and grammatical aspect. Previous research has identified a strong association between lexical aspect and grammatical aspect in child language, on the basis of which some researchers proposed innate semantic categories (Bickerton, 1984) or prelinguistic semantic space (Slobin, 1985). Our simulations indicate that th...
متن کاملHolistic Farsi handwritten word recognition using gradient features
In this paper we address the issue of recognizing Farsi handwritten words. Two types of gradient features are extracted from a sliding vertical stripe which sweeps across a word image. These are directional and intensity gradient features. The feature vector extracted from each stripe is then coded using the Self Organizing Map (SOM). In this method each word is modeled using the discrete Hidde...
متن کاملLandforms identification using neural network-self organizing map and SRTM data
During an 11 days mission in February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected data over 80% of the Earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees N and 56 degrees S latitude. Since SRTM data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. Exploiting SRTM data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...
