Book Reviews: Foundations of Statistical Natural Language Processing (1999, neutral): “SW (Oaksford and Chater 1998) for a recent collection describing different cognitive architectures, including connectionism. The view that language is best explained as a cognitive phenomenon is the central tenet of cognitive linguistics (Lakoff 1987; Langacker 1987, 19911, but many cognitive lingui”
Précis of Semantic Cognition: A Parallel Distributed Processing Approach (2008, background): “approaches Over the last several years there has been considerable interest in the idea that various aspects of human cognition, including many aspects of semantic cognition, can be characterized as a process of Bayesian inference (see, e.g., Anderson 1990; Oaksford & Chater 1998).”
A Bayesian framework for concept learning (1999, background): “This work thus contributes to the growingbody of \rational" cognitive science exemple ed by Shepard (1987), Anderson (1990),and the papers in Oaksford & Chater (1998).”
The Rational Basis of Representativeness (2001, methodology): “multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis of the similarity judgments in Osherson et al. (1990). This allows us to apply essentially the same analysis used in the previous section to compute the representativeness of a sample from a Gaussian distribution (Equation 4), and also parallels the original a”
