A Modular Attractor Model of Semantic Access
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents results from lesion experiments on a modular attractor neural network model of semantic access. Real picture data forms the basis of perceptual input to the model. An ultrametric attractor space is used to represent semantic memory and is implemented using a biologically plausible variant of the Hopfield model. Lesioned performance is observed to be in agreement with neuropsychological data. A local field analysis of the attractor states of semantic space forms a basis for interpreting these results.

A combination of semantic and attribute-based access control model for virtual organizations
A Virtual Organization (VO) consists of some real organizations with common interests, which aims to provide inter organizational associations to reach some common goals by sharing their resources with each other. Providing security mechanisms, and especially a suitable access control mechanism, which enforces the defined security policy is a necessary requirement in VOs. Since VO is a complex ...
متن کاملA semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
متن کاملPreferred Lexical Access Route in Persian Learners of English: Associative, Semantic or Both
Background: Words in the Mental Lexicon (ML) construct semantic field through associative and/ or semantic connections, with a pervasive native speaker preference for the former. Non-native preferences, however, demand further inquiry. Previous studies have revealed inconsistent Lexical Access (LA) patterns due to the limitations in the methodology and response categorization. Objectives: To f...
متن کاملAttractor Based Analysis of Centrally Cracked Plate Subjected to Chaotic Excitation
The presence of part-through cracks with limited length is one of the prevalent defects in the plate structures. Due to the slight effect of this type of damages on the frequency response of the plates, conventional vibration-based damage assessment could be a challenging task. In this study for the first time, a recently developed state-space method which is based on the chaotic excitation is ...
متن کاملRules a Thing of the Past ? : The Acquisition of Verbal Morphology by an Attractor Network
This paper investigates the ability of a connectionist attractor network to learn a system analogous to part of the system of English verbal morphology. The model learned to produce phonological representations of stems and inflected forms in response to semantic inputs. The model was able to resolve several outstanding problems. It displayed all three stages of the characteristic U-shaped patt...
