Lisa Pearl & Jeff Lidz Thursday Nov 30th 2006, 12:30 PM, 3416 Marie Mount Hall When domain general learning fails and when it succeeds; Identifying the contribution of domain specificity
We identify three components of any learning theory: the
representations, the filters on data intake, and the knowledge updating
procedure. With these in mind, we model the acquisition of the English
anaphoric pronoun one. We show first that a domain general updating
procedure fails to learn anaphoric one. However, when this
procedure is
paired with a domain specific filter on data intake, then it succeeds.
Thus, we argue for a learning theory that is both domain specific and
domain general.
