Are we there yet? Encoder-decoder neural networks as cognitive models of English past tense inflection (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | linguistics and cognitive science have long debated the cognitive mechanisms needed to account for the English past tense. |
| Approach: | They propose to use an encoder-decoder model to account for the english past tense . they also show that ED models demonstrate humanlike performance in a nonce-word task . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is unstable across simulations and does not fit to human data . other neural models might do better, but there is insufficient evidence to claim them . |
