Readings

I’ve come across several interesting articles by Paul Smolensky recently. I’d never read any of his stuff before. There are a couple of papers in the CRCC files on the topic of temperature/simulated annealing and his “harmony theory” that seem useful. I also found his short chapter in Mind Design II titled “Connectionist Modeling: Neural Computation/Mental Connections” (1989). It looks to have a clear discussion about the subsymbolic paradigm.
