Modeling Form Similarity in the Mental Lexicon with Self- organizing Feature Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract This paper describes recent efforts to model the remarkable ability of humans to recognize speech and words. Different techniques for representing phonological similarity between words in the lexicon with self-organizing algorithms are discussed. Simulations using the Standard Kohonen algorithm are presented to illustrate some problems confronted with this technique in modeling similarity relations of form in the human mental lexicon. Alternative approaches that can potentially deal with some of these limitations are sketched.

Dyslexic and Category-speciic Aphasic Impairments in a Self-organizing Feature Map Model of the Lexicon
DISLEX is an artiicial neural network model of the mental lexicon. It was built to test com-putationally whether the lexicon could consist of separate feature maps for the diierent lexical modalities and the lexical semantics, connected with ordered pathways. In the model, the ortho-graphic, phonological, and semantic feature maps and the associations between them are formed in an unsupervised ...

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 ...
متن کاملSemantic Representation and Priming in a Self-organizing Lexicon
This paper presents a model of the mental lexicon and its formation, based on the self-organizing neural network. When exposed to raw text, the model clusters words according to their semantic relatedness to form a semantic network 7]. Simulations using artiicial data are described that show how co-occurrence information can be used to create a low-dimensional representation of lexical semantic...
