This review is from: Language in Mind: Advances in the Study of Language and Thought (Paperback)
The model (theory) of the world that an intelligence will form
depends upon the particular representation used by the learner. (Machine Learning, Tom Mitchell, McGraw Hill, 1997, pgs 65-66) While this is rigorously true for the learner's INTERNAL representation (i.e. the language of thought) it will also apply to NATURAL languages that the agent employs to the degree that reasoning is performed in the natural language and/or to the degree to which the natural language mirrors the language of thought. This dependence of the learner's understanding of the world on his language may help to explain why translation between natural languages is so difficult. Gentner and Goldin-Meadow's book does a good job of discussing current research in this area. |
