Cognitive Science, The Neural Theory of Language

Risto Miikkulainen [utexas.edu] has done some notable work in this area too.

Dynamic Generation of Information

[OldSaxon]

I don't necessarily understand what the biog finding here is. They've found out how the mind can generate the dynamic output from dynamic input? If that's the case, then they've solved the mystery of cognition pretty much altogether. Something tells me there may be more to it than this.

Well, the submitter might have been thinking there would be copyright issues with doing a cut and paste. Still, most places, especially scientific sites, don't care as long as credit is given, which it was.

Heh, if the original poster was concerned about copyright, then I wish he would have summarized the article into his own words that made some sence. Instead, he left out very important pieces of sentences that caused the whole posting to become unreadable.

Of course, I don't understand a word of the gibberish in the original article either. Guess having those words left out really didn't make a difference for me. :)

How hard is cut and paste? Don't even try reading the gibberish in this submission. Below is a proper cut and paste of the article.

"The Neural Theory of Language Project run by Jerome Feldman and Science Board member George Lakoff at the University of California at Berkeley aims at answering the question: How can the physical brain give rise to concepts and language? In a recent breakthrough the collaborators have now isolated, via computational modeling techniques, the kinds of neural structures that can carry out dynamic mental models and separated out their neural computational structure from the kinds of parameterized structures that provide input to and take output from dynamic models. This allows them to create formal representations for the parameterized structures in which they can describe concepts and the linguistic constructions. "

Life's not transmitted via sex. Your partner doesn't get life from sex. At least, unless your into some sort of weird franken-necro shit, not that I have any problem with that.
