This book examines deep learning's role in natural language processing, highlighting its impact on understanding human linguistic knowledge. Deep Learning and Linguistic Representation provides valuable insights into AI advancements.
The book Deep Learning and Linguistic Representation explores the intersection of deep learning technologies and natural language processing (NLP). It delves into various deep learning systems and their applications to cognitively significant NLP tasks, aiming to shed light on how these advancements enhance our understanding of human linguistic knowledge acquisition and representation. By examining the methodologies and outcomes of these systems, the book provides insights into the evolving landscape of AI and its implications for human cognition.
Throughout Deep Learning and Linguistic Representation, the authors highlight the remarkable progress made in NLP through the use of deep learning methods. These innovations have led to models that often match or even exceed human performance on certain tasks. Despite the impressive technical achievements, the book raises important questions about the implications of these developments for modeling human learning processes. It encourages readers to consider how these systems relate to our own cognitive capabilities and the nature of linguistic understanding.
Key features of Deep Learning and Linguistic Representation include a comprehensive introduction to deep learning in the context of AI and NLP, along with current research on Deep Neural Networks within computational linguistics. The book is designed to be self-contained, making it suitable for teaching in computer science, AI, and cognitive science courses, without requiring extensive prior technical knowledge. It serves as a compact guide to state-of-the-art systems that are revolutionizing various challenging natural language tasks.
This book is a very timely synthesis of classical linguistics that the author has worked in for several decades and the modern revolution in NLP enabled by Deep Learning. It also asks provocative foundational questions about whether traditional grammars are the most suitable representations of linguistic structure or if we need to go beyond them.

Deep neural networks are having a tremendous impact on applied natural language processing. In this clearly written book, Shalom Lappin tackles the novel and exciting question of what are their implications for theories of language acquisition, representation and usage. This will be an enlightening reading for anybody interested in language from the perspectives of theoretical linguistics, cognitive science, AI and the philosophy of science.
