Formal SystemsCognition, cognitive theory are formal systems, we use mathematics to study them | Abstract concepts can be reasoned about precisely when situated in formal systems | Neural networks are continuous systems |
Constructing the continumAxiomatization Describe the basic properties and declare them to be true by definition | Construction Use simpler objects and operations to explicitly define more complex models | Equivalence classes Partitions a set based on some rules |
Dynamic SystemsRecurrent ,learning, and biological neural networks | Motor control is the effector of a dynamic system | The mind is an abstract dynamical system with continuous state variables that are not activation values of units or representations |
NNs as Probabilistic ModelsUsed for | stochastically searching for global optima | | | representing and rationally coping with uncertainty | | | measuring information | Deployed in | neural network models | | | symbolic modes with non-determinism and uncertainty (e.g. inferring knowledge from experience, using knowledge to infer outputs given inputs) |
| | OptimizationProcessing Activation dynamics. Maximizes well-formedness (harmony) of the activation patter (depends on the connection weight). Spreading activation dynamics is an optimization algorithm for the representation. | Learning Weight dynamics. Minimizes error. Weight-adjustment dynamics is an optimization algorithm for the knownledge in the weights: learning algorithm | Probabilistic modelling Parameters of the statistical model change as more data is received. Optimized based of likelihood according to data or Bayesian posterior probability of the data |
Fourier analysisf(x) = \sum_k c_k e^{ikx} employs a basis of imaginary powers of x, {e^{ikx}}_{k \in \Z} | Also a basis of cos(kx) and sin(kx) | Fourier coefficient states how strongly an oscillation of frequency 1/k is present in f | {f(t)}_t describe f in the time / spatial domain | {c_k}_k describe f in the frequency / spatial-frequency domain |
Support Vector MachinesUse supervised learning to learn a region of activation space for each concept | Classification driven only by training near the region boundary | Wide margin: error function favors a large margin between the training samples and the boundary it posits for separating the categories | Slack variable: minimizes a variable for each training example that "picks up the slack" between the point and the category region it should be in | Kernel trick: implicitly maps the data into a high dimensional space in which classification conceptually takes places (implemented through a kernel function) |
| | Discrete structures of distribution patternsvectors v in R: distributed representation | With respect to an appropriate conceptual basis for V, components of a representation v indicate the strength of a set of basis concepts in v: gradient conceptual representation | Eigen-basis re-scales components | Analyse the entire distribution within V of the representations {v^k} of a set of represented items {x^k} | Clusters of {v^k} constitute a conceptual group and may be hierachically structured | Can construct is such that greater distance between v^{k} and v^{t} means greater mental distinguishability of x^{k} and x^\{t} |
HarmonyWeight matrices, error functions, learning as optimization | Activation vectors, well-formedness = harmony function, processing as optimzation | - Parallel, violable-constraint satisfaction | - Schemas/prototypes in Harmony landscapes | Local optima is a deterministic problem, global optima require randomized/stochastic algorithms |
Inductive learningFinding the best hypothesis within a hypothesis space about the word that the learning is trying to understand | Goodness of a hypothesis is determined jointly by how well H fits the data that the learning has received about the world and how simple H is | A hypothesis is a probabilistic data-generator | Maximum Likelihood Principle | Maximum A Posteriori Principle: Bayesian principle that says pick the hypothesis that has highest a posteriori probability, balancing the likelihood of the data against the a priori probability of H. Best not pick a H, maintain a degree of belief for every H in the H space | Maximum Entropy Principle: Maxent. Pick the H with the max missing information, among those H that are consistent with the known data | Minimum Description Length Principle: shorter is better |
