Connectionist Modeling of Linguistic Quantifiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new connectionist model of the grounding of linguistic quantifiers in perception that takes into consideration the contextual factors affecting the use of vague quantifiers. A preliminary validation of the model is presented through the training and testing of the model with experimental data on the rating of quantifiers. The model is able to perform the “psychological” counting of objects (fish) in visual scenes and to select the quantifier that best describes the scene, as in psychological experiments.

Grounding Linguistic Quantifiers in Perception: Experiments on Numerosity Judgments
The paper presents a new computational model for the grounding of numerosity judgments and of the use of linguistic quantifiers. The model consists of a hybrid, artificial vision-connectionist architecture. Preliminary simulation experiments show that the part of the model trained to judge “psychological number” uses some of the same factors known to play a major role in the production of quant...
متن کاملComputational modeling of dynamic decision making using connectionist networks
In this research connectionist modeling of decision making has been presented. Important areas for decision making in the brain are thalamus, prefrontal cortex and Amygdala. Connectionist modeling with 3 parts representative for these 3 areas is made based the result of Iowa Gambling Task. In many researches Iowa Gambling Task is used to study emotional decision making. In these kind of decisio...
متن کاملLinguistic quantifiers modeled by Sugeno integrals
Since quantifiers have the ability of summarizing the properties of a class of objects without enumerating them, linguistic quantification is a very important topic in the field of high level knowledge representation and reasoning. This paper introduces a new framework for modeling quantifiers in natural languages in which each linguistic quantifier is represented by a family of fuzzy measures,...
متن کاملEvaluation of Quantified Statements Using Gradual Numbers
Linguistic quantifiers are quantifiers defined by linguistic expressions like “around 5” or “most of,” and many types of linguistic quantifiers can be found in the literature (Diaz-Hermida, Bugarin, & Barro, 2003; Glockner, 1997, 2004a, 2004b; Losada, Díaz-Hermida, & Bugarín, 2006) (as semifuzzy quantifiers which allow modeling expressions like “there are twice as many men as women”). We limit ...
متن کاملConnectionist Models of Language Processing
Traditional approaches to language processing have been based on explicit, discrete representations which are difficult to learn from a reasonable linguistic environment—hence, it has come to be accepted that much of our linguistic representations and knowledge is innate. With its focus on learning based upon graded, malleable, distributed representations, connectionist modeling has reopened th...
