This model, Autonomous Semantic Networks (ASNs), addresses shortcomings in previous approaches. The serial-processor models of natural language processing become bogged down in the searching and manipulation of the large amounts of world knowledge they need to understand the texts they read. The existing massively parallel models have the potential to avoid that bottleneck. However, the current state of the art makes necessary operations such as variable binding and the use of ordered relations extremely difficult. The ASN model represents a middle road--a massively parallel model which can easily build and manipulate representations of new and changed concepts resulting from the reading of the input. This is an essential ability for a natural language processing system to have in order to handle inference and anaphoric reference. |
