Grammar-based Connectionist Approaches to Language
1999
Cognitive Science
This article describes an approach to connectionist language research that relies on the development of grammar formalisms rather than computer models. ...
Two such grammar formalisms-Harmonic Grammar (Legendre, Miyata, & Smolensky, 1990a,b) and Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky, 1991 -are briefly introduced to illustrate grammar-based approaches to connectionist ...
Acknowledgments: I am grateful to Géraldine Legendre and Bob Frank for very helpful comments on earlier drafts, to Alan Prince for insightful discussion of the issues, to the editors of the Special Issue ...

Connectionist natural language parsing
2002
Trends in Cognitive Sciences
Connectionist parsers are assessed according to their ability to automatically learn from examples to represent syntactic structures, without being presented with symbolic grammar rules. ...
Teaser: The extent to which connectionist systems have succeeded in parsing a wide range of realistic sentences, containing syntactic structures that are commonly found in natural language interaction, ...
However, these techniques were based on a limited set of grammar rules. ...

The Connectionist Approach of Processing L2 Ambiguous English Sentences
2017
English Linguistics Research
The connectionist approach to language processing is popular in second language (L2) study in recent years. ...
The paper is to investigate the connectionist approach of Chinese learners' individual differences in the comprehension of certain ambiguous English sentences. ...
To begin with the understanding of connectionist approach, it is useful to start with the architecture of connectionist approach. ...

Connectionist Models and Their Applications: Introduction
1985
Cognitive Science
Even if it turns out that transformational grammar is a complete theory of language, an additional theory of how the brain actually processes language will be required. ...
The "new connectionists" share the working assumpti6n that theories and scientific languages based on the computational character of the brain are productive (even essential) in many areas of Cognitive ...

Extracting finite structure from infinite language
2005
Knowledge-Based Systems
This paper presents a novel connectionist memory-rule based model capable of learning the finite-state properties of an input language from a set of positive examples. ...
Results show that the model is able to learn the Reber grammar perfectly from a randomly generated training set and to generalize to sequences beyond the length of those found in the training set. q 2005 ...
Connectionist models of language acquisition pose a direct challenge to traditional nativist perspectives based on Gold's theorem [7] because they attempt to learn language using only positive examples ...

PARSEC: a structured connectionist parsing system for spoken language
1992
[Proceedings] ICASSP-92: 1992 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing
We compare PARSEC's performance to that of traditional grammar-based parsing systems. ...
We present PARSEC-a system for generating connectionist parsing networks from example parses. PARSEC is not based on formal grammar systems and has been geared towards spoken lanpage tasks. ...
g)>x) PARSEC differs from early connectionist work in parsing (e.g. Fanty 1985; Selman 1985) in its emphasis on learning. It differs from recent connectionist approaches (e.g . ...

Parsing Complex Sentences with Structured Connectionist Networks
1991
Neural Computation
Ungrammatical near-misses can be processed sensibly in many cases in the connectionist approach whereas grammar-based approaches often include no error correction (Hausser 1989). ...
This differs from attempts to add stochastic components to rule-based grammars (e.g., Seneff 1989). ...

Connectionist natural language processing: the state of the art
1999
Cognitive Science
The development of connectionist models of language is traced, from their intellectual origins, to the state of current research. ...
