Goldstone and Medin article about similarity. Focus on:
What is the human task being modeled?
What do results of the human experiments show?
How do the researchers model the human behavior?
(Concentrate on the overall functionality of the
connectionist system. Don't worry too much about the
details of equations and such.)
Key concepts:
Similarity (relevant to categorization, generalization)
Classic similarity models presented with mathematical formulas.
Mapping
Connectionist system (description starts on page 11), constructed based on images, correspondence between objects, features, relationships.
Nodes in network based on these correspondences.
Links between nodes (excitatory or inhibitory) based on coherence of correspondences.
