Abstract:

Abstract. A set of simulations demonstrate that recurrent networks can exhibit generalization by abstraction from extremely sparse but structurally homogenous symbolic data. By cascading two recurrent networks – feeding the second network with discretized hidden states of the first – it is also possible to generalize according to complex structure. By automatic discretization the cascaded architecture assists in scaling up sequential learning tasks and offers explanations to the apparent systematicity and generativity of language use. 1
