Abstract

Le modele d'ancrage propose ici est simple a recapituler. Les projections sensorielles analogiques sont les intrants des reseaux neuronaux qui doivent apprendre a connecter certaines des projections avec certains symboles (le nom de leur categorie) et certaines autres projections avec d'autres symboles (les noms d'autres categories pouvant se confondre les unes aux autres), en trouvant et en utilisant les invariants qui les representent de facon a favoriser l'accomplissement d'une categorisation juste. Les symboles ancres sont alors enfiles dans des combinaisons d'ordre superieur (descriptions symboliques ancrees) par un deuxieme processus combinatoire qui presente une difference critique a l'egard de la manipulation symbolique classique. Dans la manipulation symbolique standard (non ancree), la syntaxe est la seule contrainte a laquelle les combinaisons de symboles sont soumises et elle s'applique a la configuration (arbitraire) des symboles. Dans un systeme symbolique ancre, on doit tenir compte d'une deuxieme contrainte, celle de la forme non arbitraire des invariants sensoriels qui connectent le symbole a la projection sensorielle analogique de l'objet auquel il se rapporte. Je ne peux m'etendre sur la nature de ces systemes symboliques ancres a double contrainte , si ce n'est que pour indiquer que la perception categorielle humaine peut apporter quelques indices quant a la nature de cette interaction entre les contraintes analogiques et syntaxiques.
