• Title: Towards a neural architecture of language: Deep learning versus logistics of access in neural architectures for compositional processing
• Authors: Frank van der Velde
• Abstract summary: GPT and brain language processing mechanisms are fundamentally different. They do not possess the logistics of access needed for compositional and productive human language processing. Investigating learning methods could reveal how 'learned cognition' as found in deep learning could develop in the brain.

• Abstract: Recently, a number of articles have argued that deep learning models such as GPT could also capture key aspects of language processing in the human mind and brain. However, I will argue that these models are not suitable as neural models of human language. Firstly, because they fail on fundamental boundary conditions, such as the amount of learning they require. This would in fact imply that the mechanisms of GPT and brain language processing are fundamentally different. Secondly, because they do not possess the logistics of access needed for compositional and productive human language processing. Neural architectures could possess logistics of access based on small-world like network structures, in which processing does not consist of symbol manipulation but of controlling the flow of activation. In this view, two complementary approaches would be needed to investigate the relation between brain and cognition. Investigating learning methods could reveal how 'learned cognition' as found in deep learning could develop in the brain. However, neural architectures with logistics of access should also be developed to account for 'productive cognition' as required for natural or artificial human language processing. Later on, these approaches could perhaps be combined to see how such architectures could develop by learning and development from a simpler basis.

  Language Models (LMs) have achieved impressive performance on various linguistic tasks, but their relationship to human language processing in the brain remains unclear. This paper examines the gaps and overlaps between LMs and the brain at different levels of analysis. We discuss how insights from neuroscience, such as sparsity, modularity, internal states, and interactive learning, can inform the development of more biologically plausible language models.

• Compositional Processing Emerges in Neural Networks Solving Math Problems [100.80518350845668]
  Recent progress in artificial neural networks has shown that when large models are trained on enough linguistic data, grammatical structure emerges in their representations. We extend this work to the domain of mathematical reasoning, where it is possible to formulate precise hypotheses about how meanings should be composed. Our work shows that neural networks are not only able to infer something about the structured relationships implicit in their training data, but can also deploy this knowledge to guide the composition of individual meanings into composite wholes.
