Extending symbol grounding
نویسنده
چکیده
The papers collected in this special issue emerged from an international workshop on symbol grounding organised at the University of Plymouth on 3 and 4 July 2006 by the Distributed Language Group. Our goal was to extend the classical view of symbol grounding by recognising that language and cognitive dynamics are mutually constitutive. Specifically, we aimed to do so by bringing researchers who study human signalling together with others who focus on simulating intelligence and language. In the original call for papers, we set out these objectives as follows:

Dynamic Symbol Grounding, State Construction and the Problem of Teleology
Symbol grounding has originated within the connectionist-symbolic debate so as to gap the bridge between the two approaches. This paper provides an overview about recent results concerning symbol grounding , which is critically reviewed here. A thorough analysis reveals that symbol grounding parallels transcen-dental logic and is best viewed as automated model construction. If this diagnosis is...

Symbol Grounding has originated in the domain of cognitive connectionism as an approach to a model of language acquisition.It has, however, transcended this restricted domain and its most prominent proponents now regard it as a technique which is of general importance to the connectionist-symbolic debate, especially for their integration into a common framework. This paper revisits the claims m...
متن کاملThe Grounding and Sharing of Symbols
The double function of language, as a social/communicative means, and as an individual/cognitive capability, derives from its fundamental property that allows us to internally re-represent the world we live in. This is possible through the mechanism of symbol grounding, i.e. the ability to associate entities and states in the external and internal world with internal categorical representations...
متن کاملA formal framework for the symbol grounding problem
A great deal of contention can be found within the published literature on grounding and the symbol grounding problem, much of it motivated by appeals to intuition and unfalsifiable claims. We seek to define a formal framework of representation grounding that is independent of any particular opinion, but that promotes classification and comparison. To this end, we identify a set of fundamental ...
متن کاملEmbodied AI: Symbol Grounding through Imagination
This paper presents the principle of symbol grounding in robots. If a robot does not understand words, the robot cannot autonomously talk in the physical world. Understanding language symbols is a necessary condition for autonomous conversations. First, how humans understand language symbols is briefly studied. Humans’ symbol manipulation is based on imagination. Recent brain science shows that...
