Welcome to my homepages. I'm studying cognitive science at Helsinki university
and about to work on my masters thesis on concepts and/or cognitive
architecture [10.11.2004]. Well, yes... cognitive architectures, or how to
build a robot [10.11.2005]. Actually the acquisition of syntax seems to be
more relevant... oh wait... now we come to the problem of induction [17.6.2006].
[16.12.2005]"Käsittämättömän asian opettamisen tarkoituksena on indusoida
ymmärryksen taso, jolla slouganien heittely asiasta on mahdollista."
[10.11.2004] SYMBOLS SUCK! I'm pretty fed up with the symbolic paradigm: What's the use of
all the fancy possibilities in manipulating symbols when the human - not the
computer - is the only one who can attatch the meaning of the symbol to the
reality, the world around us? This is know as the symbol grounding
problem.
So, my approach would be to investigate concepts independent of symbols.
