A Framework of Defining, Modeling, and Analyzing Cognition Mechanisms
Cognition is a core part of and a common topic among philosophy of mind, psychology, neuroscience, AI, and cognitive science. Through a mechanistic lens, I propose a framework of defining, modeling, and analyzing cognition mechanisms. Firstly, appropriate terms are introduced and used in explanations related to the framework and within the definition of a mechanism. I implicitly contend that this terminology essentially characterizes a conceptual world required for discussions in this paper. Secondly, a mathematical model of a mechanism based on directed graphs is proposed. Thirdly, the definition of a base necessary for a mechanism to be classified as a cognition mechanism is proposed. I argue that the cognition base has the features of the cognition self of humans. Fourthly, three ways to mechanistically look at mechanisms is defined and specific instances of them are suggested. Fifthly, standards for visualization and presentation of mechanisms, cognition mechanisms, and the instances to mechanistically look at them are suggested and used to analyze cognition mechanisms through appropriate examples. Finally, the features of this paper are discussed and prospects of further development of the proposed framework are briefly expressed.

A Generative Parser with a Discriminative Recognition Algorithm
Generative models defining joint distributions over parse trees and sentences are useful for parsing and language modeling, but impose restrictions on the scope of features and are often outperformed by discriminative mo…

Moral cognition has traditionally been modeled as adherence to fixed ethical theories--deontology, consequentialism, virtue ethics--implemented as static rules or value functions. We propose Bounded Morality, a formal fr…
Joint Modeling of Code-Switched and Monolingual ASR via Conditional Factorization
Conversational bilingual speech encompasses three types of utterances: two purely monolingual types and one intra-sententially code-switched type. In this work, we propose a general framework to jointly model the likelih…
