What is it about?

Meaning making is cognitive systems including machines can be understood in terms of the generation of conceptual relations rather than strings of symbols. This is what Relational Automata, a novel form of automata, do. This helps capture the striking common ground between human linguistic intelligence and current AI.

Why is it important?

Current developments of AI need to have a model of meaning making and this article provides exactly that from the perspective of automata theory.

Perspectives
