Neural Networks, Penalty Logic and Optimality Theory
Ever since the discovery of neural networks, there has been a controversy between two modes of information processing. On the one hand, symbolic systems have proven indispensable for our understanding of higher intelligence, especially when cognitive domains like language and reasoning are examined. On the other hand, it is a matter of fact that intelligence resides in the brain, where computat...
متن کاملOptimality Theory through Default Logic
Optimality Theory is an approach to linguistic problems which is based on rules with exceptions, resorting to a ranking among rules to resolve conflicts arising from competing rules. In such a way, dealing with linguistic problems amounts to applying rules with exceptions: That is reasoning. A related issue is then about a formalization of the logic at work. An immediate candidate is Default Lo...
متن کاملThe Logic of Optimality Theory
This paper is an attempt to determine the underpinnings of Optimality Theory (henceforth OT; Prince and Smolensky, 1993; McCarthy and Prince, 1993), and what logic might have to do with it.1 This is important because, without this kind of work, very strange misunderstandings of the theory crop up. The work reported here is preliminary, but nothing of this sort has previously been attempted for ...
متن کاملPenalty Logic and its Link with Dempster-Shafer Theory
Penalty logic, introduced by Pinkas [17], as sociates to each formula of a knowledge base the price to pay if this formula is violated. Penalties may be used as a criterion for se lecting preferred consistent subsets in an in consistent knowledge base, thus inducing a non-monotonic inference relation. A pre cise formalization and the main properties of penalty logic and of its associated no...
متن کاملOptimality: from neural networks to universal grammar.
Can concepts from the theory of neural computation contribute to formal theories of the mind? Recent research has explored the implications of one principle of neural computation, optimization, for the theory of grammar. Optimization over symbolic linguistic structures provides the core of a new grammatical architecture, optimality theory. The proposition that grammaticality equals optimality s...
