Title: Miniature Language Acquisition: A Touchstone for Cognitive Science
Author: J. A. Feldman, G. Lakoff, A. Stolcke, and S. H. Weber
Group: ICSI Technical Reports
Date: March 1990
PDF: ftp://ftp.icsi.berkeley.edu/pub/techreports/1990/tr-90-009.pdf
Overview:
Cognitive Science, whose genesis was interdisciplinary, shows signs of reverting to a disjoint collection of fields. This paper presents a compact, theory-free task that inherently requires an integrated solution. The basic problem is learning a subset of an arbitrary natural language from picture-sentence pairs. We describe a very specific instance of this task and show how it presents fundamental (but not impossible) challenges to several areas of cognitive science including vision, language, inference and learning.
