Learning visually grounded words and syntax of natural spoken language
2002
Evolution of Communication
As steps in this direction, two experimental language acquisition systems are presented.The first system, CELL, is able to learn acoustic word forms and associated shape and color categories from fluent ...
This paper advocates the creation of physically grounded language learning machines as a path toward scalable systems which can conceptualize and communicate about the world in human-like ways. ...
Acknowledgements This paper benefited from comments from Peter Gorniak, Luc Steels, Rupal Patel, and Kai-Yuh Hsiao. ...

Constraints on the lexicons of human languages have cognitive roots present in baboons (Papio papio)
2019
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
The task was made as similar as possible to a task previously run on humans, which was argued to reveal a bias that is responsible for shaping the lexicons of human languages, both content words (nouns ...
The current baboon result thus suggests that the cognitive roots responsible for regularities across the content and logical lexicons of human languages are present in a similar form in other species. ...

Explaining Color Term Typology With an Evolutionary Model
2007
Cognitive Science
The simulation therefore demonstrates how typological patterns can emerge as a result of learning biases acting over a period of time. ...
An expression-induction model was used to simulate the evolution of basic color terms to test Berlin and Kay's (1969) hypothesis that the typological patterns observed in basic color term systems are produced ...
An earlier version of this article was presented at the 25th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society. ...

Contemporary art is evolving in the direction of appreciation beyond simply looking at works, and the development of various sensory technologies has had a great influence on culture and art. ...
In addition, to open a new perspective on appreciation of the works, the technique of expressing the color coded by integrating patterns, temperature, scent, music, and vibration was explored, and future ...

Statistical regularities in vocabulary guide language acquisition in connectionist models and 15-20-month-olds

Data from a four-layer Hopfield network suggested that the statistical regularities in the early noun vocabulary are strong enough to create a shape-bias, and that the shape-bias is overgeneralized to ...
