Fall, 1988 Neural Networks Colloquium Series at Rutgers presents David Touretzky Carnegie-Mellon University Room 705 Hill center, Busch Campus Friday September 23, 1988 at 11:10 am Refreshments served before the talk Abstract My talk will explore the relationship between connectionist models and symbolic models, and ask what sort of things we should expect from a connectionist knowledge representation. In particular I'm interested in certain natural language tasks, like prepositional phrase attachment, which people do rapidly and unconsciously but which involve complicated inferences and a huge amount of world knowledge. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Lorien Y.
