Study Notes
Transformer Model
- Layer normalization is used in the Transformer model to stabilize and accelerate training.
- The Transformer model differs from traditional sequence-to-sequence models by using attention mechanisms instead of recurrence.
- A masked self-attention mechanism is used in the decoder to prevent the model from accessing information about future tokens.
- Parallelization in the Transformer model enables faster processing.
Mathematical Objection to Machine Intelligence
- The Mathematical Objection argues that machines cannot prove certain mathematical truths that humans can due to limitations in formal systems.
Turing's View on Machine Learning
- Turing believed that machines might eventually learn in a way that resembles human learning.
Lady Lovelace’s Objection
- Lady Lovelace’s Objection claims that machines can only perform tasks that they have been explicitly programmed to do.
Chomsky's "Poverty of the Stimulus" Examples
- "Poverty of the Stimulus" suggests that humans might have an innate capacity for language because language development happens rapidly despite limited and imperfect input.
Meaning Holism, as championed by W.V.O. Quine
- Meaning holism suggests that terms gain their meaning from the theories they are embedded in.
Recursive Embedding in Language
- Recursive embedding in language allows for the potential for mental rules of grammar to create an infinite number of sentences.
Searle's Conclusion on Computers and Minds
- Searle concludes that computers, as purely syntactical devices, can never have minds because they lack the biological processes necessary for genuine understanding.
The Role of the Hidden Layer in a Neural Network
- The hidden layer in a neural network performs intermediate calculations and extracts features.
Differences in Language Acquisition from Other Cognitive Skills
- Language acquisition is rapid, typically reaching adult-like competence by age four, often without explicit instruction.
- Language learning is influenced by critical periods in early childhood, suggesting a biological basis.
- Language acquisition is often unconscious, unlike many other cognitive skills that may require conscious effort and instruction.
Noam Chomsky's Role in the Development of Cognitive Science
- Chomsky revolutionized understanding of language with his theory of Universal Grammar, which proposes that all human languages share a common underlying structure.
- Chomsky's modular view of mind, which emphasizes that language is a distinct cognitive module, has influenced the study of cognitive science.
- Chomsky's scientific methodologies focused on the mental capacities that enable communication, laying the groundwork for linguistics as a subfield of cognitive science.
