Modularity In A Connectionist Model Of Morphology Acquisition
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a modular connection,st model of the acquisition of receptive inflectional morphology. The model takes inputs in the form of phones one at a t ime and outputs the associated roots and infect ions. In its simplest version, the network consists of separate simple recurrent subnetworks for root and inflection identification; bo th networks take the phone sequence as inputs. I t is shown tha t the performance of the two separate modular networks is superior to a single network responsible for bo th root and inflection identification. In a more e laborate version of the model, the network learns to use separate hidden-layer modules to solve the separate tasks of root and inilection

Relating Comprehension and Production in the Acquisition of Morphology
Most theories of language processing and acquisition make the assumption that perception and comprehension are related to production, but few have anything say about how. This paper describes a performance-oriented connectionist model of the acquisition of morphology in which production builds on representations which develop during the learning of word recognition. Using arti cial language sti...
متن کاملAcquiring Receptive Morphology: A Connectionist Model
This paper describes a modular connectionist model of the acquisition of receptive in ectional morphology. The model takes inputs in the form of phones one at a time and outputs the associated roots and inections. Simulations using arti cial language stimuli demonstrate the capacity of the model to learn su xation, pre xation, in xation, circum xation, mutation, template, and deletion rules. Se...
متن کاملComputational modeling of dynamic decision making using connectionist networks
In this research connectionist modeling of decision making has been presented. Important areas for decision making in the brain are thalamus, prefrontal cortex and Amygdala. Connectionist modeling with 3 parts representative for these 3 areas is made based the result of Iowa Gambling Task. In many researches Iowa Gambling Task is used to study emotional decision making. In these kind of decisio...
متن کاملA connectionist model of english past tense and plural morphology
The acquisition of English noun and verb morphology is modeled using a single-system connectionist network. The network is trained to produce the plurals and past tense forms of a large corpus of monosyllabic English nouns and verbs. The developmental trajectory of network performance is analyzed in detail and is shown to mimic a number of important features of the acquisition of English noun a...
متن کاملRunning Head : THE MULTIPLE INFLECTION GENERATOR
The next challenge for connectionist models of the acquisition of inflectional morphology (IM) is to increase their generality: across inflectional paradigms, across grammatical classes, and ultimately across languages. We present a new model of IM that draws together elements of several existing connectionist models and which acquires multiple inflectional paradigms across three grammatical cl...
