Hey Pentti, We Did (More of) It!: A Vector-Symbolic Lisp With Residue Arithmetic

Connor Hanley, Eilene Tomkins-Flanaganm, Mary Alexandria Kelly

Using Frequency-domain Holographic Reduced Representations (FHRRs), we extend a Vector-Symbolic Architecture (VSA) encoding of Lisp 1.5 with primitives for arithmetic operations us…

Hey Pentti, We Did It!: A Fully Vector-Symbolic Lisp

Eilene Tomkins-Flanagan, Mary A. Kelly

Kanerva (2014) suggested that it would be possible to construct a complete Lisp out of a vector-symbolic architecture. We present the general form of a vector-symbolic representati…

Hey Pentti, We Did It Again!: Differentiable vector-symbolic types that prove polynomial termination

Eilene Tomkins-Flanagan, Connor Hanley, Mary A. Kelly

We present a typed computer language, Doug, in which all typed programs may be proved to halt in polynomial time, encoded in a vector-symbolic architecture (VSA). Doug is just an e…

Bridging Generative Networks with the Common Model of Cognition

Robert L. West, Spencer Eckler, Brendan Conway-Smith +3

This article presents a theoretical framework for adapting the Common Model of Cognition to large generative network models within the field of artificial intelligence. This can be…

A Neuro-mimetic Realization of the Common Model of Cognition via Hebbian Learning and Free Energy Minimization

Alexander Ororbia, Mary Alexandria Kelly

Over the last few years, large neural generative models, capable of synthesizing semantically rich passages of text or producing complex images, have recently emerged as a popular…

Like a bilingual baby: The advantage of visually grounding a bilingual language model

Khai-Nguyen Nguyen, Zixin Tang, Ankur Mali +1

Unlike most neural language models, humans learn language in a rich, multi-sensory and, often, multi-lingual environment. Current language models typically fail to fully capture th…
