• Experience Grounds Language (2020, background): “Hinton (1990) Special Issue on Connectionist Symbol Processing Unlike work that defined words as distributions over clusters, which were perceived as having intrinsic meaning to the user of a system, in connec-tionism there was the question of where meaning resides.”
• The Next Decade in AI: Four Steps Towards Robust Artificial Intelligence (2020, background): “Even Hinton was once warmer to the hybrids, too (Hinton, 1990).”
• Connectionist sentence processing in perspective (1999, background): “However, the hidden units can be regarded as encoding to some approximation the context-free productions that defined those structures , in a fashion similar to the way Hinton (1990b) encoded part-whole relations.”
