Rules vs. Neurons and What May Be Next - Exploring Language Models and Cognitive Science

Watch a thought-provoking lecture from UC Berkeley's Steven Piantadosi exploring the fundamental tension between rule-based and neural approaches to understanding intelligence, cognition, and language processing. Delve into the intersection of large language models, cognitive science, linguistics, and neuroscience while examining how these different frameworks contribute to our understanding of human and artificial intelligence. Learn about the historical context of these competing paradigms, their relative strengths and limitations, and gain insights into potential future directions for integrating rule-based and neural perspectives in cognitive science research.
