This paper presents a new production system architecLure that uses serializability as a correctness criterion to select a set of productions to be executed in parallcl. T he use of serializability eliminales global synchronization. This a rchilecture takes advantage of modern associative memory devices to allow parallel production firing, concurrent matching, and overlap among matching, selecti...

Induction systems that represent concepts in the form of production rules have proven to be useful in a variety of domains where both accuracy and comprehensibility of the resulting models are important. However, the computational requirements for inducing a set of rules from large, noisy training sets can be enormous, so that techniques for improving the performance of rule induction systems b...

An important issue in current psycholinguistics is how the time course of utterance planning affects the generation of grammatical structures. The current study investigated the influence of parallel activation of the components of complex noun phrases on the generation of subject-verb agreement. Specifically, the lexical interference account (Gillespie & Pearlmutter, 2011b; Solomon & Pearlmutt...

communication technologies) and accompanying new forms of social organisation (the existential centrality of what Alain Touraine [] called auto-géstion) have effectively socialised the means of immaterial production, putting them at the direct disposition of the computer-literate multitude. Social production has at the same time been greatly empowered, and liberated from direct capitalist c...
