Abstract
Deane (1994) points out that the template-matching
approach of DISCERN (Miikkulainen, 1993; 1994a) cannot scale up to
realistic linguistic input without fundamental modifications such
as a stack or a short-term memory. I agree with this observation
and will briefly discuss a more sophisticated parsing model that
employs some of the methods Deane suggests.
Keywords
computational modeling, connectionism, distributed neural
networks, episodic memory, lexicon, natural language processing,
